[Let The Good Times Roll]

Just mucking around in my shed today and put some stripes on my Scrambler.
I always liked the "Drag Stripe" effect on my previous Monsters s so I thought I would put some on this one.
I just used an Ebay automotive stripe kit with some pinstriping to go with it.
If I don't like it I will just peel it off.
Excuse the quality of the photos - the light was just in the wrong place.

That looks pretty cool - it's great that we can personalise them! I want to change mine somehow, just not suite sure what to do yet!

GO strips

The GT strips on the tank act as a duel purpose, art deco and tank protector. Got it on my Vespa and will do the same once my red icon arrives.

I need that in whatever yellow is on the FT (mustard sorta yellowish, have no idea)

Looks great and like the fact it acts as a tank protector too

Now put the side panels in white

I am having mine black like the original one. Good job fella ,every bike should be different just like Monsters are.

Look's good.

Now put the side panels in white

Exactly what I was going to suggest. I'm thinking about doing that on mine (when it gets here).

That looks good brother!

Looks great and I'm glad that you did it yourself with something you got from eBay. Proves you don't have to buy everything from Ducati or pay some shop. Are you going to make any other changes to the bike or are you keeping basically as is now?

Ray, is it an optical illusion or does that stripe taper as it goes down the tank towards the seat (like the black ones do)? Did you cut the wider middle strip into a taper then put the thin stripes down the side, or start with two strips of thick plus thin stripe and overlap them at the narrow end, or something else? It looks to have come out extremely neat!

Answer for Zeus and Pure - how i did it

I purchased 2 kits from Ebay.
1 - A car striping kit which is about 5m long and about 300 wide. The type you put the full length of a car - I call them drag stripes (think GT 40 Ford for example). This gave me the width I needed for the centre stripe.Yes its cut to a slight taper towards the seat. I had a few shots at it - air bubbles and getting it on straight can be a challenge.
2 - A car pinstriping kit from Ebay - they have lots of them in different widths and colours. After I applied the centre strip I applied the 2 outer pin stripe bits.
3 bits - all separate - no piece touches any other piece.
Whats next ? - I have an idea to dress up the side panels - new badges and decals - waiting on the badges to be delivered - will show photos as soon as its done.
Full throttle handlebars (if they ever get here) and I hate the lack of Compression in the suspension and I have a plan worked out with Race Tech to rebuild my suspension as soon as the first service is done. Lastly a Rexxer tune because I had one on my Monster 1100 and it sorts the fuelling out perfectly.

Thanks Ray. Looks good form here. Will be interested to know how you go with the suspension.
