Hey Ronald...
Welcome and let me be the first to say: Suh-weet bike!!! Man is that nicely done.... [moto]
Welcome and you have a nice ride there!
Bike is very nicely done! Welcome to the board...
thx for the nice comment ;D
One more pic from the rear cover :

sorry for my English by the way [roll]
Didn't realize the rear cowl was CF. Nice!
Great bike! [thumbsup]
Niiiice [thumbsup]
The paint and number plates are awesome, nice bike man [thumbsup]
Very tasteful [thumbsup]. What's the deal with the risers and the top triple tree? Are these from an ST Ducati? They look nice. Do they place your hands any higher than stock Monster bars?
I thought that was normal fair for the S4's?
Yup, looks like stock S4 triple and clip-ons...

I had assumed all Monsters came from the factory with handlebars. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention over the years. I noticed the dual horns on the lower triple tree is different from most other Monsters too.

I have the same bike and although I haven't ridden any other monsters, the riding position on this bike is definitely much less aggressive than other rockets that I have ridden. The thing with these though, is that when you want to put on aftermarket clip-ons, you are left with a little nub on the top triple from a bolt that was used to attach to stock bars.
Ryanman, this is a very tastefully done S4. Glad to see there are some other S4 owners out there as I haven't seen many. Beautiful bike and keep posting pics [thumbsup]
The bike is back under construction
give The CF a new clear paint coting , rebuild the clutch cover plate and paint the headlight [thumbsup]

There is always something like this.

beautiful bike man. Some hints of what mine was to look like. I have some Rizoma belt covers for sale, and a brand new 748 SBK front end, anodized black with SR2 triples if your interested, would really set that bike off.

My opinion is that...
1) Your bike is beautiful.
2) Your garage floor is awesome.
3) Your landscaping is immaculate.
4) The brick houses are cool.
5) I want to live there ;D
