Title: Monsters at the Gap
Post by: Slide Panda on June 04, 2008, 10:01:43 AM
Wastin' a little time at work and surfed over to Killboy for the highlights.  A couple Monsters made it - One's a street figther'd 900 and an S2R1K w/ a nice Rizoma clutch cover

I believe lethe was up there with some other people from the DeVal club.

No radiator - so it won't be a SBK.  Looks like the mosters frame, but the swing arms not what it should be.  And the front fenders just a bolted on sbk one... that's nothing to judge by.

That 1st one is my son Jeff. It's a heavily modified 900 w/ 9*6 front & rear ends, too bad they didn't take the pic in a curve.

I like the looks of those shorty pipes on that S2R 1K.  Anybody know what those are?  Customs?

Those are just the stock pipes after being cut on a diagonal then painted.

So...what would that run like?  Seems like it'd be like running with just the udder (which I have heard does NOT run well.)  Anybody know?

Did anyone notice the JVC video camera mounted to the front forks of the S2R1000?  I thought that was a pretty cool setup.

He spends a lot of time up there -- and it has paid off.

People keep buying the photos. I wouldn't consider that milking it.

I'm glad he's there. How else are you going to get such high quality action shots?
