Title: Finally done... Post by: joshuajcrouch on May 07, 2013, 11:19:16 AM ...sorry but this post deserves it's own thread.
Finished the bike today and put 30 miles on it. I am so happy with the way it turned out. It drives like a dream. Thank you DMF for all your support and patience with me. I joined the forum 6 months ago with a TON of questions. You helped me take a $500 totaled bike and turn it into this: (http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk215/joshuajcrouch/100_8199_zps9ba6ac18.jpg) (http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk215/joshuajcrouch/100_8203_zpsd0c8ec23.jpg) (http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk215/joshuajcrouch/100_8206_zps06467019.jpg) Joshua Title: Re: Finally done...

he means done with the first set of modifications so that the bike is able to be riden . . . More mods to come, we all know that . . . Title: Re: Finally done... Post by: TitanMonsterS4R on May 07, 2013, 12:30:07 PM Congrats man. Happy to see the bike has come together. All that money saving you did on the front-end only means you'll be modding this thing out soon enough.

All that money saving you did on the front-end only means you'll be modding this thing out soon enough. Thanks man. Yeah I will call this phase 1. Once I get some more discretionary income I already have ideas for phase 2 :) Looks awesome! I love the headlight. Where did you get it? Do you have any straight on pics of it? And will it fit a 2013 Monster 1100Evo? Ok, I'm done. ;D The headlight is from a KTM Superduke. I have an older pix from straight on here: (http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk215/joshuajcrouch/100_7814_zps0c87a979.jpg) I should get some updated pictures from the front though because so far that is my favorite view of this bike. Yeah I am sure you can get the headlight to fit your bike but it will take some fab work to make a mount for it. Looks great.. The headlight is awesome! Thanks for the compliment! great lookin ride my man. good work [thumbsup] now go beat the snot out of it [Dolph] Good call. Gotta get rid of some chicken strips :) Title: Re: Finally done...

Post by: joshuajcrouch on May 09, 2013, 09:12:42 AM Done...I think he meant with the 30 mile ride. [clap] Ha, I just meant done modding. I have been working on the bike for 6 months just to get it street worthy. This bike was a mess when I got it. Good idea on the before/after pix. Maybe I will work on that this weekend. Title: Re: Finally done... Post by: The Mad King Pepe' on May 09, 2013, 10:39:40 AM Very nice, really like the simple clean looks that never look old (what is it, 20 years since the Monster was introduced?) [thumbsup]
