Title: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: sleeperbold on May 16, 2010, 08:20:46 AM Hi guys, I had to get rid of my 2005 Monster. I bought the baby with 1 mile on it and promptly put 23,000 more on it. I put a full Termi system/ecu/airbox on it. She had a evoluzione clutch slave, and a ZG windscreen, heated grips..etc etc...Here are a couple of pics (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v337/2/32/507243513/n507243513_799060_2081.jpg) (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v337/2/32/507243513/n507243513_799062_2811.jpg) So sad, but I got a good deal for her. It was def emotional. I'm still trying to get to know the new girl. I just picked her up this past Sunday. She's a little different, but I think we'll get along just fine. [evil] (http://hphotos-sjc1.fbcdn.net/hs640.snc3/32100_396876578513_507243513_3992134_7745696_n.jpg) (http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs640.snc3/32100_396876588513_507243513_3992135_2366808_n.jpg) (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs543.ash1/31750_398958798513_507243513_4030558_4784271_n.jpg) I'll let you know how it goes ;) ;D You guys are the best, sorry for the pic heavy post [moto] Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800....

Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: sleeperbold on May 16, 2010, 08:59:31 AM Do I see mono-blocs? Yes you do. [thumbsup] Love it! But that M900 will always have a special place in your heart. I still miss my s2r800, plus I had her since day one. this ones got 2k miles on her.

Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: 1KDS on May 16, 2010, 10:08:40 AM Yes you do. I thought so, nice bike with some great mods already on it [thumbsup]Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: duc_poultry on May 16, 2010, 04:02:22 PM :) Loveeeeeeee the 1098 so sad about the Monster though :(
Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: sleeperbold on May 16, 2010, 05:28:13 PM Yeah, I still miss it, even though I got the "Redhead", I just love the simple design of the monster. The fairings are a lot more complicated to remove than the 748 fairings with the Dzus fasteners. I like working on my own bike, I hope this doesn't mess with that too much. [moto]

[thumbsup] LOLZ, well in that case here are a couple more. (http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs610.snc3/32100_396876573513_507243513_3992133_2086746_n.jpg) Here's one of me and my friend Dale picking it up in MA. (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs550.ash1/32100_396876593513_507243513_3992136_3344287_n.jpg) Here's one in Delaware I think, just making sure everything is nice and solid. Plus we needed RedBulls STAT! Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: psycledelic on May 16, 2010, 06:10:39 PM You are going to miss that wet clutch, 70+hp, and mushy shocks. Good luck getting those qualities on a 1098. And a red one at that. What's next, new Dainese leathers and a constant smile on your face? Get it together man, before it's too late.
Oh yeah, very,very,very nice bike! Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800....

Post by: 1KDS on May 19, 2010, 02:52:44 PM On all 1098s? I have a fork set that came with calipers, masters, triples etc. and they are not mono-blocs
Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: 1KDS on May 19, 2010, 03:05:46 PM Google images confirms you are correct and I got screwed with 848 calipers >:(

Get some new rearsets btw the stock ones are garbage, your foot slipping off mid corner is not fun. Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: 1KDS on May 20, 2010, 04:01:07 PM You got hosed. Not really, looking at pricing on the mono-blocs yesterday. I paid as much for the whole set up as a pair of mono-blocs cost.Title: Re: I had to say goodbye to my Monster S2R-800.... Post by: sleeperbold on May 20, 2010, 05:15:42 PM Definitely must admit that the brakes are a bit of a step up from my S2R-800's "brakes". Way more feel. Bike is almost telepathic when it comes to handling as well. Haven't worked on any rear-set changes (I just did drop a bunch of coin on the bike itself) ;) But did get some security stuff and I am now looking for a cool clutch cover. I really ike the cycle cat 3 piece setup, but I am still looking. ;D
