Featured 1200 S 1200s Stripe 2015

  1. Seeing as the winter is long and as much as my best intentions seem to be I can’t help but potter and never keep anything standard.
    I picked up a monster in October last year having been unable to ride due to an ankle fracture in January. I managed get out for a few rides before the salt went down.
    Since Christmas I’ve added a few bits.
    Just fitted a set of GB Clutch covers, they are intended for an 848 as GB don’t specify they fit for the Monster. They are a perfect fit. I’ve changed the front and rear indicators for Ducati LED dynamics.
    A set of Marchesini’s in gold, RCS corsa Corta master brake cylinder, this required a different starter and kill switch, I went down the Jetprime route. The switch was a direct replacement for the throttle tube clamp which saves space.
    I’ve replaced the smoked reservoirs for clear, new chain and sprockets, titanium wheel nuts and sprocket nuts.
    I have put a heal tech gear indicator on..
    That’s about it for now, here’s a few pics

  3. How did you get the pipes so shiny? Elbow grease and autosol?? Thinking of having a go at mine but don't want to screw them up.
     
  4. Cruise control and double bubble screen…you must be planning a trip..

  6. Bike looks great, and I was going to say super clean... What about the headers?
     
  7. Yes Autosol and a rag. Once you start you are committed, that said once they are clean it’s easier to maintain
     
  8. Challenge accepted… :) I’ll have a look at dropping the exhaust shield off, some of the pipes a knuckle shredder to get at

  12. Shirley your KTM pipes will shine brighter than the Ducati offerings, especially as on new bike they’re easier to polish up?o_O
     
  13. Awesome. That pipe is spot on, do you have a link or was it custom made
     
  14. It’s from Spark in Italy bought through Reactive parts in the UK,it’s meant for the 1200r,took a bit of messing and I had to make my own bracket to get it to fit,it’s a twin outlet
     
  15. Looks phenomenal, opens the back wheel up nicely
     
  16. Bike looks mint, Andy. Fellow serial modder, Andy! :cool:
     
  17. Shirley, how did you know..
    I go minimalist. As in I clean it when its dirty. Polishing? Sounds like hard work.
     
  18. Barbarian.;)
