DescriptionThe whole story▼

Between Ducati MONSTER 1200 and the tarmac there is one component worth less than the parts behind it. The WAPDU403 fits front and rear on the MONSTER 1200, built from an elastic nylon body and an Ergal insert. It is offered in 2 colours: Black, Red. A 1198 cc machine like the MONSTER 1200 has the mass to make this worth fitting before the first ride.

Key Features

  • Nylon was chosen over aluminium so the WAPDU403 deforms instead of loading the MONSTER 1200 axle
  • The insert changes without pulling the axle out of the MONSTER 1200
  • Supplied complete with the hardware the MONSTER 1200 installation needs
  • Designed around the MONSTER 1200 specifically rather than adapted from another model
  • The LighTech logo is screen-printed into the WAPDU403 nylon, not stuck on afterwards
  • Available in 2 finishes for the MONSTER 1200: Black, Red

How It Is Built

Nylon forms the outside of the WAPDU403; the material is elastic enough to take repeated knocks. Behind the nylon is an Ergal insert that carries the load into the axle. Replacing the insert costs a fraction of the kit, which is how it is meant to work.

The Idea Behind It

What makes an axle slider work on a MONSTER 1200 is that it touches down before anything structural. Splitting the job between two materials is what lets the WAPDU403 be both tough and light. After contact the nylon shows it and the Ergal underneath usually does not.

Fitment

The WAPDU403 is catalogued by LighTech for the Ducati MONSTER 1200 and nothing else in this listing. Torque the fasteners to the MONSTER 1200 workshop figures and re-check them after the first ride.

Scope of Delivery

The WAPDU403 ships as a complete axle set for the MONSTER 1200: shells, inserts and the bolts that hold them. A worn WAPDU403 is renewed at the element, not at the kit.

Fitting

Allow an unhurried half hour for the WAPDU403 on a MONSTER 1200 the first time. Set the standoff with the supplied spacers rather than carrying a figure over from another Ducati. 2 colour options exist for the WAPDU403; Black, Red all bolt to the MONSTER 1200 identically.

Type Approval

No approval documentation is included with the WAPDU403. German vehicle inspection can take an interest in anything that protrudes from a Ducati MONSTER 1200. Ask before you fit it if the bike is registered. Track days and paddock use are unaffected.
