DescriptionThe whole story▼
Where the tank sits on a MONSTER 821 decides how the hose runs. That is the OBT008: a 10 g bracket measuring 60.6 mm in height and 90.3 mm in projection. LighTech anodises it black and offers nothing else. On a 821 cc machine like the MONSTER 821 it is the cheapest cockpit change available.
Key Features
- 10 g of bracket on the MONSTER 821
- Made in Italy
- Sold separately from the reservoir, as LighTech supplies it
- Steel-free so nothing corrodes into the MONSTER 821 fitting
- A stock LighTech item rather than a special order
- Laser-marked with the LighTech logo
Position Is the Point
The bracket is the part that has to suit the MONSTER 821, not the tank. LighTech dimensions the OBT008 to 60.6 mm by 90.3 mm so the hose run stays short on the MONSTER 821. It fits the LighTech reservoirs OBT001, OBT006 and OBT007 and is sold without any of them.
Mounting It
The OBT008 goes on with the MONSTER 821 on its stand. Mount it so the reservoir sits above the master cylinder on the MONSTER 821, never below. Re-check the fasteners after the first ride.
Application
This listing covers the Ducati MONSTER 821, 2014 to 2021. LighTech lists it as adaptable rather than model-specific, so check the position on the MONSTER 821 first.
What Is in the Box
LighTech ships the OBT008 on its own. LighTech keeps it as a stock item.
Care and Checks
Vibration finds every loose fastener on the MONSTER 821 eventually. Otherwise it is a fit-and-forget item on the MONSTER 821.
Before You Order
The OBT008 is a bracket and nothing else. The tank — OBT001, OBT006 or OBT007 — is a separate article. If you are starting from nothing on the MONSTER 821, you need both lines on the order.
Road Use and Approval
This part sits in the brake or clutch hydraulic circuit, which makes it more than a styling item. There is no type approval for the OBT008; we say that plainly rather than bury it. On a registered MONSTER 821, clarify the change with your inspection body, and let a workshop bleed and test the system after fitting.
