Title: South African Newbie
Post by: WineMaker on May 25, 2010, 05:55:00 AM

Hi fellow ducati fanatics.

My name is Johan and I have a problem, oops wrong group.....

Sorry name is still Johan and I own a 2000 Ducati Monster 600 Dark. I bought the bike in 2004, second hand with only few kilometers on the clock.

I had a problem with my battery last year and ended with some acid on the fram tank and engine.
I stripped and rebuild the bike and made a few modifications. Firstly change the frame to ducati red powdercoat and the tank a ducati red tank.
Then added a wind visor but gloss black.

I am on the forum to learn on how to become self impowered as being southa frican you battle getting propwer help from the local dealers and also not ripped off.

Cheers,
WineMaker (Johan)

Like I said, white is the fastest, red is just slightly slower.
