Yeah, i'd like to harken back to the magnesium part - that is super bling. Ultra lightweight parts in a cool, easy to recognize color get super points.

Being able to see spinny parts is neat, but not really an option on a wet clutch. I love the dry clutch, but would never think about converting a wet to a dry. Its a lot of work for a gain that, well, i wouldn't benefit from - i'm not quickly swapping fried clutches at the track between sessions or races.

Now - if you are into some cool spinning bling here's my suggestions: Rizoma or SpeedyMoto belt covers - replace the cam pulleys with VeeTwo or STM pulleys, and you can even get those anodized the color you want for the color bits.

Here's my bike on a really windy day: Ducati Monster 900 - M900 Clutch & Pulleys

Sound cuts in and out because of huge gusts of wind. Almost sounds like the bike is about to die. Recorded in such stunning quality on my blackberry.

here you go my friend, some wet clutch bling. hope you brought your wallet

edit: oops it looks like that item is for 2002+, you may be able to find a similar magnesium cover for your year with some searching, im not sure

Hmm looks the same as stock only gold. Cheaper and wiser to just pull the stocker and have it powdered gold, and no one would be able to tell. Then you won't cry so much when you drop it.
IMHO, a horrible waste of money.

To the OP, sorry guy but your bike's a wet clutcher. Nothing wrong with a wet clutch, just no possibility for bling. It's sad though if bling's all you're after, Ducatis are great riding machines. On the bright side, the money you save from not blinging the clutch could be thrown into chroming the rims, neon, a tank flame job, and a park bench spoiler

Tell you what is more impressive than a slick looking clutch?

Carbon Fiber wheels. You'll get an incredible handling machine AND they look incredible. Start saving now. Prices start at about $3k

really I want anti-bling.....

I want the bike to be all dark.  I HATE my silver cans and rearsets.  If I had the money I would bet a new exhaust and have the rearsets powdercoated flat black

I'll post pics later

well, a cf wheel isn't noticeable from a distance, it'll look black, and when its covered in brake dust, will just look like a dirty black wheel. performance gains will still be there though!

showing off a spinning clutch with billet parts would be the opposite of anti-bling though. Even if your parts are black. If its billet, its bling.

Day-am!

I bet if you set that MV on fire in Boston, you could see it in Lincoln, NE.   

Pics of my bike up in another thread.

Definitely a wet clutch, dark model. Hence the single front disc brake, and the absence of clear coat. You also have Roadracing gauges which are pretty fancy and hard to come by, as well as triumph style headlights, (obviously you are aware of that).

Well, I just found the card of the guy who sold it to me.  I sent him an email.

I also just went and watched some videos on youtube (that one at the top of the page didn't work) and my clutch definately sounds like a dry clutch.

So you have any other Duc riders in the area you could do a sound comparo with?  There's a number of things on a duc that make mechanical noises - the valve train puts a good bit of noise out - even more so if it's in need of adjustment.  Just wondering if you're hearing something else.. or hearing something wrong (hopefully not)

Please do this. Cause we'd love to see how this guy converted the bike to a dry clutch with a stock engine cover on a wet clutch bike.

I looked at your pics in the other thread.  That's a wet clutch, mang.  Sorry.

Also did you say it's a 97?  Cuz it's not.  No penis belt covers.  And no internal clutch slave cylinder.
