Looks really nice and most of the mods are quite subtle, which I like. I'm not a big fan of the fuel cap though. The idea is good, but to me it just looks really fussy with all the visible bolts and all the machining.
It's interesting how you've changed other bikes but kept the Monster. I've done similar in the past (before I owned Monsters) and it worked out that one bike got ridden and the other one just sat there. I think if I had a 765RS it'd be the 796 that gathered dust, sadly. |

So, not really bought anything for the monster in a while . Although I have bought another Ducati, which was my first ever bike back .
I got some modified standard footrests from Pez, who in turn had got them from the great man Geoff .He had machined off the pillion pegs and powdercoated them . The standard peg position is fine so thought these would work in clearing up the look of the rear wheel area . I think they work a treat, may just need to try and figure out a heel guard of some sort . Some before and after pics . |

That's very neat, Colin. Unique but factory looking too.
I don't know how much material is on the reverse of the casting but perhaps you could drill and tap a couple of blind holes to mount some heelguards? |

That's the plan . Had a set from a 1100 evo turn up today . £10 ebay bargain . Need to make the holes and a small bracket up I reckon .

Who knows when I'll be able to see what it feels like! |

You might not like it. I didn't and got rid. It's easier on the lumpy stuff but make sure you keep your chain adjusted more regular. It's now running closer to the swingarm.
