    Headlight re-wiring ( 2013 796 Ducati monster )

    Hi gang, So I purchased a aftermarket headlight and noticed it had the wrong adapter. From there I decided to cut the adapters on both ends and now find myself lost after a few blind attempts. Can anyone assist ?! The aftermarket light once snipped has 3 wires ( blue, grey and black )...

    Monster to Hyperstrada

    I'm considering changing from a 2012 Monster 1100evo. Anybody make the switch from a similar bike? Any thoughts/comments/pros/cons? Also, any differences between the 2013, 2014 and 2015 models? Likely looking at an 821 due to cost. Thanks!

    2013 Monster 796 - Thoughts?

    Hey there folks. I have been watching a 13 Monster 796 Anniversary model on Craigslist and Cycle Trader for a month or so. The bike has 610 miles on it and just about all upgrades I would want. The 600 mile service has been done. It was bought and serviced from the same dealer I got my 939 from...

    Hello all, Has anyone here spent time on the Monster 821? I'm 6' with a 33" inseam and am feeling cramped on my Monster 821. Around town and for my 9 mile commute, the bike is fine. It's the longer rides and HEAT that bothers me. Lower back, hips, knees, ankles (rear sets push heels out...

    Monster 821, gets modified clutch spring!!

    Hi, I read the latest report and tecnical data on the new monster, It gets a revised clutch (anti-judder) spring, to stop the grabbing and jerky movement that is inherent on the motard/strada range. I wonder if this can be retrofitted to the Strada. Going to speak to my dealer about it...

    Monster 1200 mirrors

    So I just got my Monster 1200 mirrors for the bike. I think they look awesome. Much more fluent looking than stock. One problem I came across is that I have a long back (i.e. I'm tall) and I can't adjust the mirrors far enough up so I can see behind me properly. Oooops. Anywho, I'm fixing that...

    Monster compared to HS?

    Hi there, I'm considering a Hyperstrada as an alternative ride to my 06' S2R1000. I'm wondering if anyone can chime in on how the two compare? I love my monster and have taken some pretty long trips (N Idaho to Yuma this Aug) and with my short legs and custom seat it really wasn't an issue...
