New age superlight?

[macca]

I've got some monster rims (now gold) and front guard to fit on. I dont really like the short front mud guard and would have prefferred a GT style one (more retro) anyway the monster guard came with the wheels and fits too.
Did you get the ecu with the termi? and have you got the modded airbox lid?

Good site to read is ducati.ms specifically http://www.ducati.ms/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=77
for the sport classic forum as well as brad blacks moto one for some dyno runs on the GT and sport

PS I luv the spoke rims but fancied some mag wheels more like the later 80s 900ss bevels , will fit them later now my goldline brembo calipers have arrived (needed for different disc offset compared to the spoke hubs)

Got the monster/ss rims on now. I had to make a small (7mm) rhs spacer for the front fitting as the PS axle has a shorter shoulder (PS/SC hubs are wider than the alloy wheels) If I had the same axle as the wheel source it wouldnt have been needed.
One downside of the monster rim fitting is you have to fit the 4 pot brakes from the same or 9** superbike :-)
I've also fitted a dual filament HID bulb kit which was fairly easy one I ditched the relays supplied with the kit. (meant for a car)
Hopefully pics attached.
Next update is to be a PCIII if I can find a reasonable source in UK , this is to address the lean running. Its been on a Dyno and produces a heady!? 80bhp with stock ECU, with airbox lid on but lifted to a massive? 87bhp with the airbox lid off, unfortunately its too lean to run like that safely so the lid is back on until I can sort the fuelling.

I've been doing a bit of fiddling on the PS and have managed to fit a PCIII , removed the airbox lid (fitted a collar clamp filter in).
Using a Monster M1000sie map with all the lean bits removed and a bit more fuel up top I've got a heady 89bhp, not bad when nearly stock was 82.
who knows with a custom map I may nudge 90bhp.

Hi
I have just brought a 2 yr old ps and although pleased i am interested in the pc fitted how much and where did you get it.
Also i noticed your front calipers can you tell me what fitment they are and from which bike. I take it the discs are from a monster.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Carl
bugger just wiped my original post and it was a long one too.
heres the short version
Disks: think they were 900ss or 916 ones same for a lot of ducs of late 90s early 2000s vintages.
Calipers : any duc with 65mm caplier bolt spacing , think this change happened from about 2000 on.
Note the calipers wont go straight on if sticking with the wire wheels as the disk to disk spacing is different due to the wire wheel haveing a wider hub

PC111 from ebay holland for a M800 details of what model obtained from ducati.ms list cant recal price but it was enough of a drop to take the risk.
Note some sport classics wont run right with a PC111 due to o2/stock ecu issues, no definitive answer on that but lots of posts about it on both ducati.ms and some of the monster forums.
If i was to do it again i'd think about getting something else or asking dynojet for definitive answer as to what to use.
