Title: A few new pics Post by: FastAndLight on April 18, 2010, 07:44:54 AM While in Iraq I just kept buying parts for the Monster. The list is something like:
Top triple clutch cover, springs, caps red clutch and front brake reservoirs black rear brake reservoir woodcraft clipons new Al grips, bar end sliders frame sliders Giles Tooling rearsets GP shift lever (didn't use the Giles linkage, got a lever to go right onto the mount) tail chop Vizitec integrated rear light Rizoma front turn signals Ohlins rear shock rebuilt front fork w/ Racetech springs for my weight CRG levers (I just got these and don't have them on the bike yet, that is this afternoon / evening when I stop riding) As of right now I'm pretty happy, but I need to move the gauges beneath the triple and get a new headlight setup. Riding with a friend who has a BMW I realized that I can't see crap at night.

Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: FastAndLight on April 18, 2010, 02:30:35 PM love ur bike man, it looks dirty. not like nasty dirty, just a bit darker then the other happy bright bikes out there. Thanks man. I try to clean it from time to time, but if the weather is nice enough to clean, then it is nice enough to ride... One of these days I'm going to make an all out effort to really scrub her down and clean her off. Just like that mythical day when I'm going to go down and organize my storage unit. nice mods, good looking bike. what kind of a sprocket cover is that? I got the bike used and the sprocket cover was already on there when I bought it and I have no idea what kind it is, but it is pretty cool. I've gotten a couple questions about it before and wish I could be of more help. I'll take another picture of it tomorrow and maybe someone can identify it.Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: corey on April 18, 2010, 02:32:37 PM i have a boner for those wheels.

The clutch cover is definitely Speedymoto, I still have the box. ;DThe sprocket cover, visible in the 2nd picture from the top, is of unknown origin. i have a boner for those wheels. I love the wheels too, but they have been through their own drama already...http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=22403.msg397241 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=22403.msg397241) Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: kopfjäger on April 18, 2010, 02:54:50 PM The clutch cover is definitely Speedymoto, I still have the box. ;D The sprocket cover, visible in the 2nd picture from the top, is of unknown origin. Oh, sprocket cover. [bang] Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: uclabiker06 on April 18, 2010, 03:24:02 PM Wow, NICE new bike! I like the wheels on the Monster too. As far as cleaning you bike goes its your bike so clean it when you want. Just remember though that when a bike gets dirty enough, eventually it gets to a point where you cant really clean it back up. You know, stuff gets caked in and all. When you get around to cleaning it hit your pipes w/ some brasso and scrub like heck. [thumbsup]
Thanks for the pics and above all thanks for your service. Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: MAXdB on April 18, 2010, 08:07:30 PM ooh very nice! that is a big list of mods..mustve taken a few days to install everything
Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: Mojo S2R on April 18, 2010, 10:21:38 PM Nicely done. Very nice bike. If I may suggest - ditch the frame stickers. I moved mine to under the seat just in case they were required to be on the bike though I've been told they don't. That Triumph aint too shabby either. Congrats [thumbsup]
Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: psycledelic on April 19, 2010, 11:15:07 AM Very nice. What brand seat is that?
Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: orangelion03 on April 19, 2010, 12:03:32 PM S2R1Ks rock, and yours rocks LOUD! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: ducrider45 on April 19, 2010, 12:49:17 PM well done.
Title: Re: A few new pics Post by: FastAndLight on April 19, 2010, 01:02:30 PM Very nice. What brand seat is that? Sargeant seat. Really comfortable. I love it so far. I haven't yet done a really long trip on it, but already it feels many times better than the stock one. S2R1Ks rock, and yours rocks LOUD! [thumbsup] Thanks! I had forgotten exactly how loudly until this morning when I forgot my earplugs on my way in to work. Definitely need those for any ride over 5 or 10 minutes. I love my Zards...but it is nice to be able to hear as well. I'm thinking the Desmoworks clear headlight here: http://www.desmorados.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=350_266_566&products_id=2023%3Cbr%3E (http://www.desmorados.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=350_266_566&products_id=2023%3Cbr%3E) I like the round look and want to keep something in that vein. |
