Does anyone have a picture of CA-Cyclework's sportbike shaped track tank for Monsters on an actual Monster?  I would like to see what it looks like mounted.

Read the info - its in pre-order stage right now. There was an issue that is being resolved with a current fix available, but final solution pending.

I'm looking forward to grabbing one. Makes the bike have a naked ST shape, essentially, and the cutouts+stomach brace would be very helpful for more spirited riding, such as at the track.

Thanks for the help guys.  I like the look and love the idea of having a little more range and a reasonably priced alternative if my tank ever gets totaled.  It definitely gives the bike a heavier profile.  Aesthetically, I think this is the best view.


I think having the headlight fairing on helps balance the look of the larger looking tank.


The tank looks a little too big for my tastes when the headlight fairing isn't used.

To me it looks like a naked ST with no fairing. I've got a DP seat cowl (the big ass carbon one) to bring the back end up visually. Then the front will just look a little... "short" or truncated visually (in my imagination).

I believe he said the IE seats fit up the best to the cut outs in the tank - notice the difference in seat/tank connection from red bike to black bike?

I think the red bike has a newer seat (its obviously no IE, based on the alternator case cover shape), and the black bike might also be a carb'd Monster with the regular carb'd seat.

It would fit, its the internals I think that you'd need to ask Chris about.

I'm saying, you would want the 02+ seat for best aesthetic fit.

Just a little more than OEM says Chris, said he was getting 20-30mi more before the fuel light comes on with the 'track shape'
