Title: We need a carbureted Monster to be a model ... Post by: krista on July 27, 2009, 04:53:18 PM Hey everyone,
We are selling the MTT43 tank for the carb'd Monsters and we need a bike for the installation photo shoot. Our preference is to get a clean, mostly stock looking Monster. Mufflers, FCRs, are ok -- trying to avoid ones with LOTS of bling or unobtanium. We have a M900 in the shop that just got a full "pongo build", but everything about the bike is unobtanium. Thanks, Chris Title: Re: We need a carbureted Monster to be a model ...

Not sure if you remember it but you've seen it once.
edit: Oh, I recently changed my fuel filter mount and fuel pump. Fuel filter is now a Purolator that zip tied to my shock instead of mounting it where it is stock. :P Pump is an electric jobby.

It's a local bike and very clean.
And honestly, I love philb's Monster but hbliam has a valid point -- marketing wants shiny. :) hbliam: was in HB today. Wow, there's a bungalow (ie, someone's house) has like half a million in R&D tools... they have a $100k laser scanning arm, a 6 foot CNC mill, cnc lathe, cnc pipe bender. And they did all the accessories for the new V-Max on contract for Yamaha. SWEET. They're helping me with some R&D for future projects I'm brewing... [evil] ;D Chris |
