Pics of monsters with fairings?

#1 (**permalink**) 08-12-2005, 10:50 AM

Yeah I know, its the original naked bike and I do admit it looks damn good w/o the fairings but I cant help but be attracted to the suprebike look, however, my wallet and insurance rates are attracted to the monster, especially since im only 23 *outch* What im looking for is any pics that show any of the monsters, hopefully the 620's, in full fairings so as to get a comparison to the look of the superbike, since ducati.com dosnt have any pics of it in fairings, and help me decide which I prefer regardelss of me wallet and sense of vanity

thnx in advance,

chris

You should shop around for insurance. I am 21 and my 01' 748R costs only a few dollars more than my 620 per year

I guess it depends what you're looking for in a full fairing. There aren't any fairing "kits" available, besides a headlight fairing or belly pan. However, I have seen a Monster in full 888 fairings (it is after all the same frame). You'd have to do some custom work though. I'll see if I can find those pics

Here's a couple pix. The first pic is ducman851's 620 (now 800) track Monster. Ping him for questions; he is on this board. The second pic is a nicely executed "unknown" Monster, with what looks like a Supermono kit (?)

Yeah I got to admit the look as sharp in fairings as they do naked. Anyone have any idea what id run me to "clothe" a naked monster so to speak? Ducati's website is prety good about not letting on with the prices till you get into the stores. sales tatic i guess.

thanks again,

chris

I would get an SS, unless you love fabrcating, design and wiring.

Here's a monster with 916/748 vintage fairing

fair bit of work

just need to weld the lugs on side/headstock

Hmm I thought it was rather easy to mount em up. You dont have to weld anything to the headstock just whip up one of these babies.

I did however weld a couple of tabs to the side of the frame to mount the sides to
