Thanks man!!!   [thumbsup]   [beer]

I think the answer is yes, it looks good.

Black or carbon maybe?

Drop me a PM with you email, I took a quick stab at it and color adjustment

Blimey Dave "whats going on"  ???

 [laugh]  Same ol', same ol'...just trying to decide if I need want another piece of bolt on.

A buddy (Rameses) has one in CF that I suppose he'll sell me if I like the looks of it bolted up.  I'll prolly take some nicer pics and send them to yuu for some expert photochopping.   ;D

Jeez Dave its no good sending pics to me for photochopping, [bang] you know I'm a bloody dinosour  :-[ and any way I like to do things for real  [thumbsup]

Thats one reason that I like the S4R in that it looks good with the monza type of belly pan where as the S4RS with its larger oil rad don't look quite right, thats why I bought a riding-house belly from japan but I'm still not convinced that its not to much  :-\
Stewarts (Capo) bike with the monza belly pan looks the "dog's do-das" [bow_down]

If you got really creative and moved the oil cooler back, up under the seat, it would look really REALLY bad ass.

In 2007 Chris at Desmoworld had at the milan show a moster S4r with the oil rad on the left side attached to the frame, it may not sound good but it sure cleaned up the front of the bike and this year I meet Chris on the spark exhaust stand at milan and asked him what happened to his mod and he said that he was having trouble with the pipe suppliers, and also the billet brackets.
I also asked him if he had any problems with over heating and he said that the temps were as normal.

Also on this years spark exhaust stand was a streetfighter with thier under seat exhaust that really tided up the rear.

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] Not "you," but "yuu."  Look up a few posts!!   [laugh]

I'm waiting for someone (Pompetta?) to get a StreetFighter oil radiator, which is mounted sideways, hidden behind the lower half of the fluid radiator.

That's the way they are on several other vehicles - my Tahoe has a smaller cooler in front of the radiator.

Radiator under the seat would require major plumbing which would have to be routed around the exhaust and under the seat.  Regardless, that's far beyond my capabilities.  It would be cool though. 

There was a member on TOB who had a custom radiator that was a little thicker and longer, but a few inches narrower than the OEM unit.  I still have his contact info.  The bike that radiator was on is still one of my all time favorites.

There's the answer to your black wheel question.   [evil]

post a pitcher.

Your bike looks great the way it is now.

I liked it when it had the Termi cans on it.  I've kinda kept up with your bike.

I guess my thing is how does it go, handle, feel, not how does it look.  When I consider how does it look, it's how does it look to me, not to someone else. 

What does the belly pan do but add a little (very little) weight?

LA

Protects the starter, I suppose (This is only from minor road debris like pebbles).  Over the years:

I dunno, I have one cuz I think it looks good.

Maybe, but they're different bikes.  Two-tone might be best...I really should learn to use Photoshop.   :-\


I've set the suspension up for my weight, I like the riding position/geometry and I'm satisfied with the power/delivery, so for me it's just about tweeking the look of the bike.

I'm still unsure about the bellypan, but regardless it's an easily reversed mod.

Thanks guys for the thoughts/discussion and pics.   :)

If you like the look of the bellypan shown here, but want a tad bit of change to it, the Ilmberger Carbon one has an extra "naca duct" on the front lip. But.... Its crazy costly. ($400 USD)

 :P

haha, i was on an adult league softball team one time that had feisty, frothy pitchers as the logo. needless to say, we may not have won all the games, but we had a lot of fun.

I really like the bike pictured above, especially the tail and color scheme... The headlight is just a little much for me. But it is very well done and unique, so I wouldn't be like "crap. here comes THAT guy again"

Color the spokes and leave the outer rims black. I always think that makes the tires look ginormous. (technically speaking)

Pompetta,

Who's seat cover or seat do you have?

Looketh like a Sargent.

Well, Rameses brought over the Monza bellypan, and it won't clear the BoomTubes, so it's a no go.

On one hand, I'm bummed 'cause I like the look, but on the other hand I just saved a few hundred dollars.   ;D

One time I was set to buy wheels for the bike. Pledged my money away. Then another buyer swooped in and I was left holding only my money. Felt really good to see the money and realize I almost let it get away. Slippery stuff.

Dremel?

It's just the front right?

i can fix that [evil]

I had to hack mine up a bit for the 2000+ sidestand bracket when I updated my '99 for use with a CycleCat stand.

No Big Deal.



It's no big deal - Caddyshack (1980) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PmMFaVzbzc#normal)

About 2"+ off the inside of the right half of the bellypan


Yeah, I know.  :D  You'll get my money either way: a new seat cowl or a bellypan.

I don't mean to threadjack but I was hoping to get in on the Photoshop action.

Could anyone put the white wheels from the 2007 Monster S4RS onto a 2009, white Monster 1100S?  I love the bike and I'm getting one soon but I really don't like gold wheels.  I'm going to have them powder-coated.  I'm trying to decide between black and white.  I'm worried that white will be too much.

I'm good at imagining  [roll] and I think white wheels will be too much - maybe good for fancy pictures, but not suitable on a Monster. Maybe, just maybe, red or red/white could be cool? I would go black with white rim stripes [thumbsup]

Go for red  [bow_down] [bow_down]

I debated for a long time about what colour to have the wheels on my retard power coated and in time had them done red   [clap]"awesome" [thumbsup]

IMHO i kinda like it without...looks great as it is now,but that's just me:-)
