Ducati 916 Dark (Knight) Mod Watch

[djrashonal]

So since the mod bug hit me I've decided to take the all or nothing approach. Two months ago, I purchased a 2001 Monster S4 with all the trimmings...it's a great bike, it's not MY bike. So I have decided to do a complete transformation.
It started with:

Ohlins rear shock
Ohlins steering dampener
GSXR 1000 forks with Matris internals. Installed by The Department of Suspension.
Tokico Radial brake calipers
GSXR radial clutch mc
GSXR radial front brake mc
STM full floating buttons on rotors
Cyclecat top clamp
Custom clipons
DP racing fairing
AIM MyChrom III custom dash with lap timer and sending unit
Sargent seat with tube storage under the seat
Risoma mirrors
Cyclecat rearsets with custom foot pegs
Cyclecat frame sliders
Cyclecat full open clutch cover
Cyclecat sprocket cover
Speedymoto case cover
Barrnet clutch basket and plates
Red Casoli pressure plate
DP Al radiator tube
PCIII USB with custom map
SPS cams degreed
STM adjustable pulleys
Pistal HC pistons
Full DP 45/50 SS exhaust with Ti exhaust cans
DP corsa ecu
DP oil cooler
Yoyodyne clutch slave
Rear fender eliminator
New F/R 15/42 sprockets (Super Sprocket rear) DID ERV3 520 chain





from there I have sold a lot of the "go fast" parts off and started to transform it into the bike I want.......new tank, new rearsets, SSS conversion, new headlight, tail chop, LEDs all around.....I have a vision..... Stay Tuned

If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or tips - feel free to post.

Thanks, I love the it! I don't know OnespeedPaul, I bought it from crankmonster 

Are you sticking with the same color scheme?

I'm going with Matte Black, and Something close to Audi Gray/Silver

[TAftonomos]

Totally got some online names crossed up there.  The dude in Jax, Crank.  Onespeedpaul made the 2v SBK cafe racer thingy.

So, did you get the clear or the smoke tail light? Please post pic when installed. Those look super nice for the price.

You are trying to make the bike look like batman?

[red baron]

[ducpainter]

That logo has been done on a Duc already.

[djrashonal]

Yes, the old school logo has been done.... but I havent yet seen the revamped logo in the Dark Knight style, with the Dark Gray/Silver   and Black scheme

Maybe

Thanks Trouble! Keep me posted!

You're right! I gotta find a pic of it!

I got the smoked one, super easy install, I'll post up a pic/video this evening for ya...I think it looks great and they gave me a discount because I'm on the board

PC that Swingarm.
Polish the lower triple and grind down the casting marks to match the top. or PC them bth.

and this is jsut me, but id get rid of those Cycle Cat rearsets, they are worth alot to some people, and being that there are no spare parts for it...if you never get them damaged, you cant fix them.

[djrashonal]

Swing arm (amongst other things) will be PC'd! The rearsets are going to be put up for sale in the next day or so..... you want'em? Thanks for the advice on the triple, I'll get it done....but i dont know what you mean about the casting marks. I was planning on PC'n the Upper and lower. You think I should do that or leave them silver?

[He Man]

the casting marks are just the little lip left over from the two halfs of casting it. grind it off and itll look tons better.

I have a S2R1000 that just recently got trashed, so as much as i would like to vulture around your bike parts  . i cant.  . What color are you doing your Swingarm? It would be nice to PC your frame to match.

If all goes well, this winter ill be building a bigger oven to PC my frame. Thats after i sue this guy's insurance for wrecking my bike. and i wanted to PC my frame your silver/grey color. lol but i dont know what color do to my swingarm.
