Title: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: mattyvas on May 22, 2009, 12:53:07 AM Yep, I've done it again.
I was always going to do it again, it just makes a Monster look amazing IMHO. So step one is done, just need to fab some different indicator mounts as the ones in the kit hit on the cowl. But basically she is ready now without tail. Next is maybe a little pipe shortening just to bring things back into line. then comes the next mod which I can't do but I will take part in by striping bits off it in prep.

Cause that's what it would take to touch my tail..... [cheeky] Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: Spider on May 22, 2009, 02:40:57 AM you have a lovely rear Matty. :-*
(hey, I've just returned from Sydney....I picked up a thing or two there!) Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: stopintime on May 22, 2009, 09:38:27 AM ....... (hey, I've just returned from Sydney....I picked up a thing or two there!) Didn't you guys learn to use protection ??? On topic: I think this exhaust looks much more Monstery without the carbon end cap. Is it disposable? As always your photography is impressive[thumbsup] Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: mattyvas on May 22, 2009, 11:36:51 AM Can't get rid of the end cap, you see there is a titanium sleeve inside.
Without the end cap it would look a little stuby and have no finish. I will end up taking a couple of inches out of the other end just to even things up. Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: Super T.I.B on May 22, 2009, 01:35:21 PM Ummm,
Is that a special licence plate cover doovy? With the web address on him? Why am I asking anyway? Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: Spider on May 22, 2009, 03:26:06 PM Ummm, Is that a special licence plate cover doovy? With the web address on him? Why am I asking anyway? born to ride....born to mod! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: Yellow Meanie on May 22, 2009, 04:10:12 PM Good stuff Matty, it'll look great after the pipe's been chopped too [thumbsup]
How are your mirrors going? Does the bike fit down the hallway? [laugh] Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: goldFiSh on May 22, 2009, 04:44:19 PM Ummm, Is that a special licence plate cover doovy? With the web address on him? Why am I asking anyway? It's just a sticker, someone we know has a vinyl cutter... Easy for a one off, not so easy for a production run (slow and painful!) Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: mattyvas on May 22, 2009, 04:45:53 PM it's a specially made sticker cut before we went on the WSBK trip.
what can I say I love mod's I think that why I have a Monster, there is just so much you can do. It just fits down to it's hiding spot Dave, still have to twist the mirrors in to do so but I can live with that. Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: bazz20 on May 22, 2009, 05:30:20 PM you have a lovely rear Matty. :-* well get too a hospital or clinic [laugh] spill the beans what did you get [thumbsup](hey, I've just returned from Sydney....I picked up a thing or two there!) Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: sydmonster on May 26, 2009, 08:29:27 PM how'd you go with the indicators Matty?
Looks good otherwise! [thumbsup] [thumbsup] I recently did a "chop" for my neighbours GSX-R. Jap bike are esy to work on... but these things generate some serious speed. - Chris Title: Re: Does my tail look big in this..... Post by: mattyvas on May 26, 2009, 11:44:42 PM yep all good.
