Belly pan fitting ????????

14-05-2009, 12:21 PM

Hi all, ive just received a belly pan bought on ebay sold as for a 900monster,
Inside it says its for a 600, 52 plate, does anyone know if it will fit as i have not yet received the brackets yet from germany? it sits under ok but no holes appear to line up really with much,

No they never fit on the engine casings directly. The brackets are usually about 4 cms long and they fix to the bellypan and then to the engine casing fixings. Easy to knock some up. Try your local hard ware shop or somthing like B&Q warehouse. Just thin aluminium plate about 1mm thick by 10mm wide by whatever length you need. And a pop rivet gun to fix to bellypan.

sound ordered some off ebay just wondered if it mattered that it said insinde : ducati monster 600 52plate are they the same?

Shouldn't be any difference. All engine cases pretty much the same even s4/rs point of fixings.

Lovely thanks for your help, do you know how to post photos on here?

I put all mine on photobucket for free then just copy them over so they are open to view like this.

Nice whats the tail tidy?

The taily tidy I got off a mate. Its carbon fibre two piece. I think they are part of the shorter later type tea trays. The ones that show a bit of the frame.

I do actually have a stainless steel one in garage before I brought this. Just neater looking. I will take a picture if I can find it.

My bellypan came off a 900 I think...the 900 has holes which the 600 doesn't and we ended up having to drill and tap the engine...get it done properly though if you go that route!!!!!!!!!
