Here is a phone picture of my S2R 800. So far it has been lowered with a SWATT lowering link and slid the forks up, LSL clip-ons, chopped the headlight fairing, Full Arrow S2R 1000 adapted for my bike, DP Open Airbox, and Nemesis ECU. I also had the rear cowl made. I will get some better pics today on a real camera.

You say you had the cowl made? Looks pretty good. Try to get some better pics. Who made it? How much? This may interest many people on the forum. Might be able to run small production if price is right.
Uh oh.....Paging El matador........ You better get to work on that cowl or you may lose some business...
+1 to more info on the cowl please.
Sorry...the weather was terrible over the weekend. Will try to wash and get some pic today. Also will have more info later.
OK...here are a couple more pictures of the cowl...and my bike.

Will post more details on specifics as soon as I sign up as a sponsor here. Want to do this the right way.
Good looking bike....
I want that cowl.
looks good, but it looks a lot like a busa cowl to me.
I like that cowl too!
Nate...oh Naaaaate!! ;D
I am normally not a huge fan of the big cowl on the monster, but with the lower rear, it looks good. [thumbsup]

ha ha ha i love this forum !!! good job on the cowl [thumbsup] by being slightly shorter than the one on the OCC monster everyone on this board is gonna love it or everyone just loves to bash OCC [laugh]
once again looks very good.
Info on the cowl...please? ;D
I think this one is still a little bit too high....a tad bit lower and it'd be perfect.
Hey everyone, thanks for the positive responses. I am having them made for my company, Miami Moto Works. We are in the process of becoming a sponsor here. The cowls that are presently ready are just the shells. We will have the cowl with storage ready in a short time, just working out the details of the storage compartment. We will also be coming out with some other very interesting products for the monster. I am working out the pricing for these cowls without storage right now. My original idea was to do a group buy on them. Everyone's thoughts on this are appreciated.
^^^^Interested. [popcorn]
...still interested. [coffee]
Hackers,
Please, please, please tell me you are going to have these for the 696/1100. PLEASE!!!???
Interested in one for an S2R!
Any progress on the production cowls ?
Available ?
I sincerely apologize for the delay on these. I am in the process of opening my shop while creating products and it is very hectic. Here is the update on these pieces. I am redesigning them as I am not happy with the current product or design. While the overall idea was on target, I am selling these under my name so they need to be up to my standards. In my opinion, they will have a more fitting shape to the lines of the Monster. I am also in the process of becoming a sponsor here so I go about this the proper way. I will have a final product by Friday, September 18. I will post progress pictures as soon as I have them. Again, sorry for the delay.
Sorry to steal you away from the cowl stuff but....any idea how much lower the bike is than stock? I have a short wife and i am sick of hearing her complain that a monster is too tall and can never be lowered enough. She tried a 696 with lowered seat and it was close-ish. Thanks you
that is all
nothing follows
Info?? [coffee]
Grandpa Nate, the bike was about 5 cm lower. Was having problems hitting the exhaust so raised it up a little bit a few days ago and problems have disappeared. Be sure to lower front and rear evenly to avoid problem with the suspension geometry. If you need any other help, feel free to ask. I was very meticulous with this and it paid off as other than the exhaust, the bike rode and handled like it did from the factory.
So...yeah...epic failures on my resources for getting this fabbed so I'm doing it myself!!! I've taken in the advice of others on here and started from scratch, well the OEM cover at least. Anyways, attached is a picture showing the revised height of my soon to come seat cowl. I had taken another side shot showing the profile but apparently my iPhone decided to delete it. Will have a side pic by Sunday as I will be riding this wkd. And yes, I do intend to finish these and have them available. These will be up to MY standards, hence the reason why I have not told anyone anything previous to these; the first one showed was CRAP finish and the guy just couldn't make it how I wanted it. Let me know your thoughts.

This pic looks a little more rounded than the finished product, I intend on following the original cowl's lines.
I want one too.....immediately :D
yeah i am interested in one possibly for the 696. any idea if you'll be doing this?
also, that is a dope bike. Probably one of the only examples of an older "classic" monster i really like so far
Would love to do a 696 rear cowl. I would need a donor cowl to start with though. The lender would be compensated of course.
interesting...
Hey man. Checkour pm...had a question about those clip ons. Thanks..
Your bike looks good. [thumbsup] Also interested in that cowl. [edit] with storage for my S2R800 [/edit]
+1 Interested in the cowl with storage for my 2003 m800 dark.
~JD
Interested in a cowl with storage for an S2r.
What's the material they are made of? Would there be an option for a Carbon Fiber Cowl with storage?
