Title: What is a custom Monster? Post by: greenmonster on November 15, 2017, 06:26:21 AM http://www.bikeexif.com/top-5-ducati-monsters
To me, only 2 of these are Monsters, 3 are Ducati customs. Monster custom must include the Monster tank in some form, not just frame and engine. What do you think?

They didn't know about all the custom Monsters out there, just the ones on an internet search for popularity. Title: Re: What is a custom Monster? Post by: Pinion on November 15, 2017, 02:10:31 PM not even close to representing whats out ther in custom monsters. To me a custon is a built bike, not bolt on stuff
much better examples of customs here Title: Re: What is a custom Monster? Post by: Pinion on November 15, 2017, 02:13:01 PM selfish plug

this is a modified monster, minimal fab work, bolt together build. looks just like any other bike (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4351/37181676456_e65da1c318_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/YDBP2b)IMG_2966 (https://flic.kr/p/YDBP2b) by D charles (https://www.flickr.com/photos/152723633@N05/), on Flickr Title: Re: What is a custom Monster?

Trouble is, from 5 feet away nobody in the general public notices what all you've done.

Post by: Pinion on November 16, 2017, 05:53:29 AM to me, thats a good custom, does not stray too far as to lose certain distinguishing traits from the original. Hence being a custom monster, not a custom bike, or ground up build. A mod IMO should be an enhancement on preformance and looks, I try to make it look like it was built that way, or should have been
Title: Re: What is a custom Monster? Post by: Duck-Stew on November 16, 2017, 06:23:33 AM That's how I used to build them too.
