Title: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 07, 2015, 02:21:41 PM Ok, as promised, here is the little monster I picked up for my wife may.
May (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/maybeach2.jpg) she is 4'10" shorty type legs, so not to many bike options for her...but I think I can make this work. (I hope) :rolleyes: so here it is. Its an 02 monster 620 dark. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/2_zpsz4vxwmrq.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/3_zpsumujsz9o.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/4_zpsayztlswe.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/5_zpstaxnlhts.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/6_zps6wmxxwjo.jpg) Title: Re: May's little monster.

I have no problem with that. I do need to get a haynes manual before anything. but, yeah, going to be putting back to near stock as soon as financially possible. Needs alot of stuff. I am getting a low seat from a member here, and possibly a couple of other things. I dont like the exhaust, and looks like the PO welded those tips on there, so I am hoping I can grind them off there and be able to save the exhaust so I can put some decent slipons on. anyway...this is just the beginning of the build. Got a long road. I cant wait hahah. Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: kopfjäger on February 07, 2015, 03:43:40 PM [thumbsup]

Live near the beach? Congrats. [thumbsup] Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 08, 2015, 08:11:39 AM Its been sitting outside alot. But I am going to be stripping the whole bike and repainting almost everything anyway. Replacing as much as needed ect ect.
Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 08, 2015, 12:21:16 PM Day 1
I didnt want to get to deep into it without a haynes manual (which is on the way now), but not bad progress for the first day. so, I need to make a list of everything I need. which I am sure is going to grow along the way..lol. headlight headlight basket LH bar controls maybe RH also throttle cable gauges...but not sure about this one...are the gauges locked in with the immobilizer? or can I just get a new set? sprockets and chain, thinking 15f and 46r DID 520 chain, is that 108 links? I need to get the top clamps for the handlebar, not sure where to get them air filters tires....of course. :P and lots of sandpaper and paint..lol some of the wiring is cut up, I will take pics and hopefully you guys can help me figure out what I need to do to fix it. anyway (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/13_zps2awc41bm.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/12_zpsihrdcn0k.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/11_zpsojxkkxd4.jpg) Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Nekkid Tim on February 11, 2015, 07:23:54 AM So how is week 2 going????
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 11, 2015, 12:58:03 PM I can only really work on it on the weekends. I often work days and nights during the week..so yeah.
But I plan on puling the motor and rear off. looks like that section on the rear of the frame was all riveted on [thumbsdown] ...so that will take some work repairing and replacing all of it. Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 11, 2015, 01:02:36 PM oh ya...forgot to mention, I was looking at it yesterday, and I noticed that one of the 4 threaded handlebar holder things, is stripped. [bang] So I am hoping I can just tap it. I still need to find caps for them too. I was thinking of just getting a handlebar riser kit that includes them and just using that, since I have had no luck so far getting the caps for a decent price. ohwell.
Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: MotoPsycho on February 11, 2015, 01:39:56 PM Same boat as me bro. Explore your options. Opposed to clip-ons above the triple? if you put them there you have to lower the front end. That'll help the wife out.
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Duck-Stew on February 12, 2015, 08:43:28 AM If you provide the year, engine size, & list of what you're after...perhaps people visiting this thread can assist with take-off parts maybe they have lying around.
(I would help out if I have something you're after...) [thumbsup] Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 12, 2015, 12:37:46 PM lol...holy crap you're right, I could have swore I put that on there. [bang]
Its an 02 620 dark. I am still working on the list. I should have some time to spend on it saturday, so going to figure out what else I need. I am still waiting for the haynes manual to arrive, but I am going to tear it down if its here or not. I just won left and right controls on ebay..so I can knock that off the list. Alot of the stuff seems not to hard to get, but not those upper handlebar clamps. [thumbsdown] thanks for the help, wife and I really appreciate it. [thumbsup] Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: koko64 on February 12, 2015, 01:10:31 PM There's a special pleasure in building a bike for someone you love. [thumbsup] I will be doing the same for one of my kids.
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: MotoPsycho on February 12, 2015, 02:25:51 PM Did the 02 darks have the soapbar top or the split tops for the bars ?
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Howie on February 12, 2015, 03:48:05 PM split.
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: MotoPsycho on February 12, 2015, 06:05:50 PM Now I know what to look for to rid myself of the monstrosity holding my handlebars on. Thanks Howie. [beer]

[beer] Not so fast there, cowboy. I'm pretty sure the bolt spread is different between 'soap bar' and '02 and later. Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 15, 2015, 06:37:15 AM hey guys....question, the gauges on the bike are really beat up. are they linked in with the immobilizer? can I get another set of gauges or no? its an 02 monster dark.
thanks Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: ducpainter on February 15, 2015, 07:15:50 AM Gauges are linked to the ecu. You'd need to disable the immobilizer by having the ecu flashed to replace the cluster.

managed to get a couple of things done...some good....some bad. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/17_zpsgixdxa76.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/15_zpsf8a8dadt.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/18_zps9kmzmssh.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/19_zpskmcrddwq.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/20_zps0n1956on.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/21_zpsusucpt1z.jpg) so ya....I broke that...not to happy about that at all. But hey, you live and learn. Hopefully it wont cost me to much to get that replaced. :( But its coming along. :) thanks Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Grampa on February 16, 2015, 01:24:49 PM Maybe its the picture angle, but the frame looks wonky near the steering head .
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 16, 2015, 01:34:57 PM just the angle. Its straight :)
Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 20, 2015, 09:57:16 AM Special delivery :)
been trying to figure out what to do about the handlebar clamps, but as usual ebay swop's in and saves me...lol I saw a auction for a parts lot for an 03 620...look at out of curiosity and its really just full of nuts and bolts and mostly just junk that I dont need. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/23_zpshvlciouh.jpg) but then I noticed something very important. :) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/24_zpswbkruznn.jpg) woohoo. not bad for 15 bucks. and might be a couple of things in there that I might use, who knows. also new in this week. HER color has arrived. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/22_zpshivrurma.jpg) Before I bought this bike, I built it in my head, (as I do almost all my projects) I have this vision of the frame and wheels and a couple of little things being this color. the rest will either be a satin and/or gloss black. I think this purple should really pop when its all done. I really hope she likes it. :) Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: brad black on February 20, 2015, 09:58:39 PM matt or satin silver might look ok with it. with purple stripes, of course.
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Rudemouthsky on February 22, 2015, 06:23:29 AM Sorry for the minor thread jack but does anyone know what the heck those odd spacer thingys are doing on the vertical valve cover?

Post by: Duck-Stew on February 23, 2015, 08:32:31 AM Why doesn't the OP put something up in 'Parts Wanted' under 'May's little Monster' so we can keep a running total of items that we all need to scour through our spares for as a donation to this worthy cause...

Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 23, 2015, 01:45:33 PM oh well...thanks, I have a hard time with doing that sorta thing...just a personal issue I have I guess, I have always had a hard time about asking for something....rather work hard and earn it I suppose. My father is old school and he kinda beat that into me.
However I have been thinking about that very thing, but really wanted to get her all apart and see what she really needs. I was thinking about going through it this weekend and then noting everything and I guess I can make a list and post it. :) thanks guys Jb Title: Re: May's little monster.

Most of us have perfectly good spares all over our garages that either aren't worth the hassle of selling or the $ isn't proper motivation to get it together. It's more fun to see the parts live on and get put to good use. Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Howie on February 23, 2015, 08:21:55 PM I Never sold anything to a DMF member, only gave things away. I did buy from DMF members, always a pleasant experience.

Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on February 25, 2015, 01:40:09 PM Just a little update.
Managed to pull the forks off and the the front wheel. Will pull the tires off and possibly start prepping them for painting this weekend. Not sure as I will have company this weekend...bah. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/25_zps9hykbjsi.jpg) Just a little plasti dip on them. replacing the fork oil in them, been draining them for a week. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/26_zpsqtresetx.jpg) got this in the mail. :) however... (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/27_zpshepbxik5.jpg) PO put sheet metal along here and riveted all up. arg. Soo...trying to decide how to best deal with it. More than likely just going to weld them up. I will be posting a WTB thread maybe this weekend also. may and I are going to make a list of everything we need to get her back on the road. One thing I know is the headlight is going to be an issue. I would really like to get that LSL one...but its not in the budget for now....so we are going to need the headlight, and the brackets and all that stuff. :( Jb Title: Re: May's little monster.

Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on March 02, 2015, 02:21:33 PM current events. :)
So my birthday is coming up, and my mother decided to get me an early present. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/28_zpsvvifsiaa.jpg) (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/29_zps3mux3jxc.jpg) so needed this stuff. new workbench, dremel, palm sander, respirator, some sand paper, ect ect. So I didnt want to waste the whole weekend without working on the bike at all, so I grabbed the tank and worked on that a bit. I was a bit worried in a spot that is in the front of the seat, there was a section 3x5 I would say that looked very wavy and terrible, I was hoping it wasnt a bunch of bondo or something. Pulled out the new palm sander and went to work.....good news, the tank seems ok here....but what I found was interesting. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/30_zpsnfofrvgy.jpg) In the background its spiderweb, and at the bottom, an iron cross. Its not painted, but marker maybe? not sure. but weird. Ohwell. also I noticed that that hideous brown cover on the seat was actually covering the old one. so I took it off. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/31_zpsm341zvh6.jpg) just gotta clean it up and should be a decent seat for me if I feel like riding it. Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on March 07, 2015, 11:24:48 AM todays fun

It worked out great, and I now have alot more light. (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/36_zps4xapefqw.jpg) Not sure if I want to go to bikeweek tomm, or work on her bike. We shall see. :) Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Rudemouthsky on March 07, 2015, 09:01:14 PM Harbor Freight FTW ;D

Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on March 08, 2015, 03:53:19 AM quik question, I am thinking about ordering some shorty levers for her, but when I do it looks like a cable clutch lever is what comes up for the bike....but this bike has a hydraulic clutch....so how do I search for that and know that it will work? I have never had a bike with a hydraulic clutch before.
thanks Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Rudemouthsky on March 08, 2015, 05:35:46 AM They are almost all the same from one Duc to another, the size of the pivot bolt is either "large" or "small". Yours would probably be the larger of the 2 but check to confirm you have a 10mm nut on the lever retaining pin to confirm.
CRG cross reference chart: http://motowheels.com/i-9733882-crg-rc2-large-pivot-clutch-lever.html (http://motowheels.com/i-9733882-crg-rc2-large-pivot-clutch-lever.html) Others may scoff but I would get a pair of the inexpensive eBay/China levers from the more established CN sellers like "The2Wheels"...I've used them for several hassle free years, and the MC forums (inc this one) are filled with excellent reviews of the quality/value. Chinese anodizing kinda sucks tho, so ya might wanna choose silver/clear to avoid having purple or pink levers after a year. Title: Re: May's little monster.

(http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/42_zpsheblp6qr.jpg) worked on the wheels a bit, taking off all that plastidip was a pain.

(http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/57_zpsuo5wmfky.jpg) ok...somebody help me out here. how do I get this out. Its close, but the wires are stopping it. I figure its for the fuel pump, or sender or something, but damn. thanks everybody. Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Howie on March 20, 2015, 01:47:21 PM Sending unit comes out the bottom, but you need to remove everything else out the top after removing the fuel filler.
Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on March 20, 2015, 02:14:33 PM how do you do that? I see on the inside a bunch of tiny looking rivets or something....are those allen set screws or what?

I see on the inside a bunch of tiny looking rivets or something....are those allen set screws or what? Jb They are allen head grub screws. Well, unless the PO did something else weird. Back them out and pop the filler out with a hammer handle. Unless you want to keep that gorgeous custom paint on the tank you want to remove it anyway. Before reassembly check the fuel lines and change the filter. The lines should be SAE30R10. With the amount of work you are doing a manual is a must.

awsome sauce (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/61_zpslfswqcmd.jpg) NOT awsome. I dont like this at all, dont care if it works or not, I am going to have to get a new sender.

Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on March 21, 2015, 03:08:29 PM maybe....but I might have another idea ;D
Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: MotoPsycho on March 21, 2015, 06:15:29 PM I got the older type and the wires broke at the epoxy at the end. I said screw it because I knew the light came on about 150 miles and then about another 25-30 to empty. Just make sure you get gas every so often and it's a done deal.

Post by: Jonny Black on March 23, 2015, 03:28:36 PM thats the chain adjuster.
what I think happened is that the adjuster got striped and thats how he "fixed" it. however, I have already recieved new ones for 35 bucks. Yup..35 bucks, how he could put in the time and effort and make that mess, and I took 5 mins and got a newish set for 35 bucks is beyond me. ohwell. anyway.....bad news, bike budget is on extreme hold....I still plan on putting in as much labor as I can. But unfortunately the house is in dire need of new A/C unit. Mine is 15 years old, we have been "patching" it...but today was it. So some time this week we will have to figure out a way to get a new one. finance or something. [bang] I guess I should be thankful that it lasted as long as it has, however I had hoped it would survive till the end of summer. Unfortunately I cannot live without an A/C, well I can...but, the little lady cant really, and my reef tank is to touchy about temp changes. It wont be able to endure a florida summer without A/C....and I have to much money into this tank to give it all up. soo...I would was hoping to get this done by mid summer....but doesn't look like it now...however...it will be done. I dont give up so easily on stuff like this...and I am not going to quit this bike....I know there is an amazing bike here....and it will be back and happy again. :) Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Rudemouthsky on March 26, 2015, 07:54:01 PM maybe you've already talked about it in the thread and I missed it, but what is your over all vision for this bike? having it "done" on paper helps in several ways, mainly keeping the sunk cost down or avoiding regret. You can make the "right" compromises that way. I didn't really have that, so I ended up spinning my wheels and throwing a ton of cash at my build that literally ended up wasted, buying parts that caught my eye then realizing there was something different I wanted to do or that they wouldn't work at all. Other ppl here really benefited from that fly by the seat of my pants mentality in the classifieds at my expense, lol. (mainly Nibor haha) And probably still will.
If you're planning to DIY the paint work be doubly confident in your abilities and time restraints to do it well or you'll pay again to have it done right. Were it me, I'd budget some cash for paint or powder coat of the: frame and wheels at least. My tank, I found one that was in brand new, less than 600 miles condition minus a golf ball sized dent I was able to pull out 75% of for $177, which made way more sense than paying big $ for a professional paint and prep job. Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on March 27, 2015, 05:07:16 AM besides the headlight, I dont need anything else really.
I mean ya sure I need tires, chain and sprockets, get the ecu reflashed, some gauges, stuff like that, but overall its about there. The rest of it is just labor and putting it all back together. Nothing fancy I assure you, it will look nice, and mostly stock. But definitely not a show piece or anything. Title: Re: May's little monster.

Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: Jonny Black on April 14, 2015, 04:15:28 AM Smoothed out the rear about as best I can....do a little more after I get the rivet holes welded up.
But what do you guys think...should I leave that angled open section open? or should I try to fill it up and then paint it? It wont be in the rain or anything. I am leaning to just leave it. Jb Title: Re: May's little monster. Post by: MotoPsycho on April 14, 2015, 11:51:27 AM If you were to weld in fillers, since you're patching the rivet holes and all that, might as well powdercoat the frame. I did mine. I love it.

(http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/IMG_1839_zps9zbv8nml.jpg) prepped and (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/jonnyB00/IMG_1840_zpsskzcmry6.jpg) first layer of paint. gloss black, after a week of curing, I will put on the second layer, which will be the chrome, then another week of curing, and then the finale layer, the anodized purple. I am just doing the rear wheel for now to see how it turns out. If it goes well, and I am satisfied with the result, I will do the front wheel and frame, and then start to put the bike back together.
