Hi, i've recently been looking at getting a Ducati Monster and I have found a few pictures of the 2000 style monster but with dual lights which looks in my view incredible. But I cant find out which year and model this is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It must have been a mod. No Monster ever came out of the factory with 2 lights.

Where did you find the pictures? They might help us identify the bike, as Tonio has said it must be a mod!

I was going to say all Monsters come with two lights One front and one rear

But I guessed you meant front lights, so I'm thinking of the after market stacked system contained in a small bikini fairing that I have seen on a few bikes

I think I remember the bike that you're talking about, but it wasn't an 'official' machine...

I'll need to dig out some old catalogues, but I'm sure I've seen a Monster (in the official accessories catalogue) that had a stacked (one above the other) projector headlight arrangement (sort of chrome and yellow bodywork?)

You'll be lucky to ever track one down (given the price of the parts, even then) and the fact the the single/round headlight arrangement is a well loved 'classic' style.

There you go, one for sale:

Not my cup of tea but I can understand that it might appeal to some. Though I'm sure there must be more than 1 model of aftermarket stacked headlights for Monster.

Wow thanks guys! Really good response and faster than I expected! I found the ebay post I saw the dual headlights on:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250791168206&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1156

Its ended but hopefully you should be able to see the pictures.

My gut instinct suggests like Tonio600 says it is a mod but the ebay post suggest its genuine.. So not sure.

Also sorry to anyone who likes that bike you posted but that is disgusting! haha

But be good to hear your thoughts on the link in my view does look quite unique.

Thanks again

They look like after market Bates style headlights, an easy mod if you get a standard bike.

They look very similar to the twin h/light set up in the 2001 DP catalogue.Not sure if they are still available.

Universal set on Ebay.
