The hoses look like that because of the wax which is used in the rubber permeating to the surface. It is used in the compound to combat ozone cracking as the rubber ages. Rather than trying to get rid I would just cover it with something like ACF -50 as you mentioned below. Lovely lovely machine by the way and great video.

Absolutely stonking video, great mods, love the organisation of the parts and the walkthrough, a bloke after my own heart the way he looks at the detail. Controversially I'd love to see what the Monster is like with dropped bars, to drop the look from a sit up and beg. I know it's the streatfighter look but I've seen a few streetfighters with slightly dropped bars and it makes a subtle difference. I haven't ridden for 15 years ha so I can't talk, started looking at the Monster having always wanted one (I ended up with an X11 back in the day but always lusted after the Ducati).

Nice bike. I can totally see where youre coming from with regards to choice...its what you like. Same for me....got a few bikes including a Ducati (Hypermotard 1100 evo sp) but my naked of choice is the gen4 z1000 - owned it for 4 years now and i love it. No plans to change it, if anything itll be getting more updates soon (with a full system and air filter once theyve been mapped and flashed they make nigh on the same as an s1000r). My only gripe with Ducati is their finish (youve had one already) but ive found the coatings are a waste of time (paint peels, bolts corrode, the chain!) 2 years on from owning mine im still getting parts recoated (engine casings have just been done). Front barrel will be coming off soon for the same treatment. Whoever is in charge of fixings and fittins at Ducati either hasnt seen rain or needs firing. Pronto.

Its definately them (ducati) i also have an old rsv4 factory pre aprc) with 12k on the clock that has faired way way better than the hyper (hyper has 10k and is a year newer). Ive found for coatings Cerakote and Xylan are amazing...literally everything proof. Ive got a project ktm 525 supermoto thats been rebuilt from the ground up and coated in regular powder coat and Xylan and 3 years on from the build it looks like brand new.

Have you tried auto solve black cleaner for your pipes.

beautiful brother !

Hi Grant, the bike is stunning. Love all those mods, exactly what I would have done. I saw the vid when you picked it up and there was only salt dust on the road, so to get that level of corrosion after a short ride home is rubbish. So the last thing that needs to be swapped out is that poxy chain. It would just irritate me to ride the bike knowing that a bit of cheap sub standard kit is letting the bike down. So for the price of a high quality(? Rental or similar) chain, under £100, the whole bike is spot on. Think you’ve got no chance with the original if it starts off like that. You know it makes sense.👍🏻🏍😱

Hey buddy, great you took inspiration from my video, bet you are very excited to be getting your Monster? I do think the steering damper should be fitted as standard and is lots of money to retro fit! Having just spent a week riding in the Pyrenees on my Monster I can safely say I never had any scary front end moments as the roads were so smooth by when riding in the U.K. I’ve had a few moments were I think a steering damper would of helped as the roads are very bumpy! So depends how good the roads are where you live and if you want to spend £600 on one, good luck with the new bike, cheers, GMAN

True words mate, no bike is perfect but the small Ducati issues can all be sorted pretty cheaply, and the rest of the bike is spot on!

Impressed. How is it that your warranty is unaffected by all these mods. Here (in Ireland) they will use any excuse to invalidate your warranty and the insurance will do the same to invalidate your insurance. So I done no mods to my 821 over that. You should try some acf50 on the hoses. It keeps mine looking like new for a few weeks. Although that mysterious white residue does not appear on mine. Perhaps you should look at them being replaced under warranty as its obviously some fault with the exterior finish. I got a new exhaust fitted to mine under warranty simply because the black paint started flaking off - and similarly the left side engine cover paint finish was starting to bubble - also replaced under warranty. Just one other point - the white stripe on the tank might be difficult to fit now unless you remove your existing tank guard. Then I would recommending leaving it off. The white stripe with one of these tank protectors looks terrible.

Cheers Michael, am loving her although just need some sunshine so I can ride her again 👍

Try cherry blossom shoe polish for the hoses. I used it to change my dash in my t4 from grey to black 👍

Worth a go mate, thanks for the help 👍

Did you change all six frame plugs or just the four (two on each side)?

Cannot remember as sold it years ago sorry 😬

Probably been commented here already but ACF-50 will bring the hoses up lovely and bright and keep them like it.

Cracking vid again bud. You must give up the ⛷ ruddy liability. I’ve got my daughter to subscribe to you too! F what others say - bike looks mate. I’d have bought one too - as you say personal choice - can’t wait for the good weather to put some miles on me blade 👍🏻

We had the choice at school for pe - trampolining, footy, rugby, swimming or skiing as we had own dry ski slope..,not much of a choice bud...skiing all day long. I love it. Was at Gloucester dry slope and the eagle was their (Eddie) top bloke too. Spoke for ages. Sure he fancied the wife though 🤤😤
