Discovered the one thing about my M750> 900ss engine upgrade that just plain sucks. My 750 had big, hard, metal dicks protecting the belts. WTF is this plastic BS? This is crap. What was Ducati thinking, allowing such a thing on such an otherwise gorgeous machine???
It's been talked about, but can't seem to find any detail on modifying the old metal Pantah covers to fit. Some kind of mitre/"s" cut at the ends. Anyone have a clue? I can't live with this garbage on my bike.
Thanks...
Take em off. ;)
paint em!
i know plenty of ladies who like plastic dicks.
None is better imo. Even the anodizing on my speedy moto fancy belt covers have faded to purple might powder coat them black :-\

+1 on my Monster. other bikes, different things...
Assuming you know how to paint, you could just paint the plastic covers some sort of chrome/metallic color of your liking and then it will look like metal. Btw, the covers are there for a reason. If the right size object, made out of the right material, gets wedged in a pully you could shred your belt...highly unlikely but possible.
I don't know if making the pantah belts fit would be worth your while.
you might also be interested in dipping the covers in dye, I did this on my 900 and they turned out great - if you stay with plastic covers. There's a thread on here for the procedure.

Will you post a close up pic with them off?
The plastic belts have actually grown on me. I might take a dremel to them and put some kind of wire mesh behind em'.

Quite a different outlook from your opening post. ;)

hehe. I tend to be a bit dramatic
I also had the idea of doing some billet aluminum covers. We could anodize them as well. :) Had an idea for my S2R 800 which would be similar. Let me know if you are interested. Text might be best 719-360-6174 since Im hardly on here.
