Title: 2 MONSTER family now!
Post by: EGAS1 on August 26, 2008, 04:42:17 PM
 ;D  ;D  ;D

I have finally got my hubby on his own MONSTER  [thumbsup], he has been riding mine around for the last week or so, but because he is tall and me small, mine has been lowered, it was not the best thing for him to ride but he loved it. So he bought his own on the weekend a 1998 DARK 600 36k on the clock and we got it for 6.5K which I thought was pretty good! Now he's off looking at all the mod's he can do on this site. ;D

He wants bar end mirrors but doesn't want to spend a fortune can anyone tell me where a cheap set can be found?

are you after just bar end's or bar end mirrors? I have some black 3" bar end mirrors available ($50) or also smaller 2" CNC alloy bar end mirrors ($100) - let me know if you want pics
Cheers,
Paul

Congrats on the conversion. Another Tassie monster owner!

As for bar ends, if he wants to try them out to see if he likes them, get a set from a bicycle shop. I saw some for about $30 each.

Does he still have the beemer?

Egas not sure I can help with the barends/mirrors.

But congratulations on the growing family, speaking of which what is it with these Monsters - that is now, what, 4 couples with Monsters in Ozmo land alone (and that doesn't include Super & Big T). Not sure if it's a good thing or a bit creepy.

I got some Napoleon Baren barend mirrors off Chris @ http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/
They are fantastic, well made, large mirror area, lanesplit ability, all for $28 USD each, delivered to the door in 1 week.
They sell here for a lot more.
Throw some more goodies in from the shop and it becomes very worthwhile.

Dragonworld

Hubby says to tell you, yes he still has the beemer, got the DUCATI cause everybody likes a bit of rough now and then  ;D

Ducmonrob

He does browse the forum just won't admit to it

BAZZ MY BROTHER

We will come down your way when the weather gets better [thumbsup]

TECHNO

Yes as above he still has the beemer and will keep it I reckon, cause its great if we go for a longer trip some where it carts all our stuff "the mother ship"

SUPER T.I.B

I will try putting some pics up after but I have tried once on this forum and I could not get it to work, but I am lazy as it seems a pretty lengthy task [bang]

Now, are you both coming to the MotoGP?

Hi Ducmeister,

Yes we are both coming but in our ute  :'( not on bikes, as it is too dear!!!!! but.................guess what I suggested we put our Monsters on the back of the ute, because cars travel on the ferry heaps cheaper than 2 x bikes.
He's contemplating it..............so we may have them to ride when we get there YEAH! [thumbsup]
