1200 S Tell Me About Stripes And Number Plates

Discussion in 'Monster' started by RexDangerVest, Mar 31, 2020.

  1. 2014 Monster 1200S

    It has what I have been told are Number Plates...
    Were they standard? That's easy enough right?

    Also
    I want stripes.
    I just like striped Monsters. I don't know exactly what I want... But I know I want them

    Tell me all you know.
    What years to look at?
    Where to buy?
    Go Genuine because... Or Ebay because...
    Get a standard look? or did you find something unique?

    In my research to buy I have always been attracted to the ones (any year) with stripes.
    821's 1200's 1200R, S4r??

    I wont cover the Carbon Front (I don't think) but I want it on the tank and the Pillion cover.
    It can be continuous and long... Or the shorter ones Ala 1200R on the tank and cover
    Please share what you know.

  6. Yes


    Yes


    Yes!!
    What is that called or from?
    I already put a tank protector on... So a loooong stripe over the tank is out.
    Unless I really want it and remove it to add a stripe.
    BUT
    I sort of had my eye on the R type stripes.
    This is similar, but more.
    I was just looking at this last night. Might even have been your pics I scraped from somewhere... And I liked it.

    Please tell me more

    The original owner of the bike bought it from DMC Preston, they fitted the sticker kit to the new bike, it’s the “Lorenzo” kit, so if you contacted them by email showing them one of my photo’s they may be able to help you, I assume they used a local specialist to make up the kit, I suppose they will be closed due to lockdown at present though:-/, Here’s a few more photos you may be able to show them to a specialist near you and get a set made up and fitted.
    Note, the tail unit had Lorenzo’s 99 on it but I took the 99 off and replaced it with a Ducati Meccanica sticker.

  9. Did I see a Meccanica sticker on the tank too??
    top down pic of the tank?

    I really want to see it...
    BUT'
    I am not evil... I am also hoping you are walking out ans seeing your baby to take fresh pics.

  10. The fender would work great to still show the Carbon I have....

    Rex
     
  11. I like it all except the tank.

  12. You will probably be best to get someone do you a custom vinyl set, it’s not expensive over here I guess it won’t be over there.
     
  13. Thank you.
    I really like that scheme. except for the 99 on the tank. I want something different up near the keys I think. In the end I will have to remove my tank pad. put whatever new stickers I choose, then cover the entire bike with that clear plastic protective film and then put the tank pad back.
    Step back and admire.

  14. I found this. It needs those cook side pieces on the tank
    the pillion cover is not as awesome as yours. I keep thinking that little pic of the fender is the pillion... So I really only need the R type piece near the key... Then everything like yours.

    Dont, I said DONT! make me get that Evel Knievel one...
    He was my hero. He did 14 buses. I did 12 shopping carts...Took all summer... Broke 2 bicycles in half...

    Although... Those flames would probably make me faster...
     
  15. For Christ’s sake Rex you’re American, it would simply be unpatriotic not to have the Evel Knievel design! :)
     
  16. I know, right. Plus everyone would know it's me.

    Child: Dad look at this pic of the worlds most awesome and patriotic Ducati!!
    Dad: That's RexDangerVest Son.
    Child: how do you know it's the famous Awesome very handsome RDV?
    Dad: It's called Parental Guidance my Son. One day you could have it too.

  17. from what we’re told over here the guy was a bit of an asshole, beat his manager up with a baseball bat, racist etc, so maybe stick with plain white:)
     
  18. Really?
    I heard it was the sticker kit that cured him of his wicked ways...
    And wherever ho rode it a wave of happiness followed...
    I guess one of us is watching the BBC, and the other CNN.

    So it's probably just a rumor of a guy who almost did it.
    Probably Trumps fault... :eek:

  19. Must be true I learnt the above from a TV special fronted by Top Gears Richard Hammond, he never has been known to lie, but he has been known to crash, a lot!
