Top one... I've always though the bottom side of Monsters was a bit ugly, so I'm pro pan - and that white with red looks sharp

If it was an option I would vote RidingHouse belly pan. Painted partially white and black.
Geoffduc has one - it's magnificent and suits the watercooled bikes perfect [thumbsup]

If you're keeping the udder, then no belly pan. If losing it, then the bp will look great.

I knew someone would chime in with that - and while I do agree that the Riding House BP is the best most awesomemest belly pan out there, it is unfortunate too much $$$ to shell out for me.

Why on earth would buy a naked bike then put bodywork on it? I vote nothing.

I like the white as long as you can match the pearl  paint of the tank. If not, then nothing.

This is what I would do too.

stopintime - I don't know how you keep track of who has what mod. You either have a crazy good memory or a spreadsheet I swear.

tail chop and color match belly pan. 
Title: Re: What Say You?
Post by: tonkoshala on February 03, 2010, 07:15:58 AM
White if you plan to chop the tail. If not it looks better with it off IMO.

Tail Chop, air scoop's and call it a day.  [popcorn]

Thanks for the votes and reply!  The color-matching would not be an issue - it's only an issue in by bad photoshop file.

This particular mod is strange - when I see it on other bikes I always like it, when I photoshop it on my bike i'm kinda of "eeehhhhh not sure if it works". 

Tailchop is on my todo list.
Airscoops are not my thing.

you are going to spend quite a bit of time cleaning what started as white bp.

i might be doing a bp on my m1100 after doing my last oil change and taking a good look at how much abuse the filter is subjected to, the fear of a rock hitting it at just the right angle and rupturing ( insert out of control wreck ) has me looking at this mod as function over form.
thats all i have to say about that.

Say NO to the belly pan

Go for WHITE it look's the "Dog's"  8)

I know that some of you guy's prefer the naked look and I some time's look at my bike and think it would look better without the belly pan but after all the trouble and expense that I went to I'm afraid it's saying on  :'(

love the white pan.  what brand is it?
Title: Re: What Say You?
Post by: Bones on February 11, 2010, 10:15:44 AM
i would definitely do white, but after i paint it, I would put some of that 3M clear vinyl paint protector stuff on it.

will make it a hell of a lot easier to keep clean and will prevent a lot of paint chipping from debris.

I always thought the two coolers hanging in the wind, off the front of the bike, kind of disfigured it a little, so I really like the white pan. Kinda ties everything together more aesthetically.
