Hi Everybody,
Greetings from a new Ducati driver. My first bike was a Honda Fireblade 900RR Tiger(Dreambike when i was 16) loved it but it didn't had IT for me.
The Ducati Monster was also high on my list of favorite bikes and a few months ago i finally bought one. '02 M900ie :P :P
When i bought the Duc he was completely stock so i did a few modifications to make him more personal.
First thing i did was the tail chop, added a led backlight with integrated signals. The Mickey Mouse ears made place for a set of nicer designed mirrors.
I removed the ugly chrome handlebar and put on a black superbike one. An open clutch cover is also present.
For the sound i was working on a set of stock exhaust to can them but today i bought a set of Ducati Performance titanium exhausts(couldn't refuse the offer :) )
Things to come:
White gauges from http://www.newtacho.de (http://www.newtacho.de)
DP Airfilter and ECU
DP Pressure plate
Other tires, dunno which ones yet, current tires are not that sticky....
Pictures are a little outdated but il post new ones when i have them.
Duc next to the blade...Blade is sold

Welcome, thanks for sharing, nice bike. [thumbsup]
You'll want to visit the Accessories & Mods (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=5.0) forum I'm sure, sounds like you've been bitten by the modding bug already. ;)
You might also want to visit the Tech (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=4.0) forum, we have a nice thread on tire ratings (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=2444.0) there.
Have fun, looking forward to seeing the updates!
