Let's see the other side with the exhaust.  It looks custom made.

IIRC it's a 2-1 w/the... S3 arrow?

^^^ I love that bike.  [thumbsup] Why would anyone want a newer Monster?
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

Man, I love that white tank and the tasteful mods.  The Ti clutchcover is very nice.

I love the way the Zard fits.   She is gorgeous.

Head Hunter, I TOTALLY agree!

I am not impressed with the new Monsters 'look', and was pulled by the classic and unchanged look of our Monsters.

When I have current pics of my Baby, I will post them up.

Keep 'em coming, these are GORGEOUS!!

A better pic to see the exhaust.  There are internal baffles as well.

how did you do the internal baffles?
Give a man a beer, and he wastes an hour.
Teach a man to brew, and he wastes a lifetime.

how did you do the internal baffles?


After shaping the exhaust like I wanted, I located a place in the pipes that wouldn't interfere with the joint.  Then I bought the correct size baffles from ebay (for a Harley ;)) and drilled the hole in the pipe for them to fit with a bolt.   The baffles had to be bashed and shaped on one side to facilitate the bend in the pipes.   This was to create some back pressure that was missing from the exhausts.

Then I took her into DUCSEA to get a custom PC III map.

Can I play?
...not sure if its all out Cafe, but the Deus boys seem to complement it. The fugly mirrors are deceiving, the highest point on the bike is actually the rise on the tank above the filler cap. So clip-ons are low. I've tidied it up a fair bit since this shot too...




DM, still lorv that machine of yours.

You have to get her ready while the riding season is bleak.   She is a hottie for sure.   No debate there.   

Sydmonster, do you run into any issues with the open belts?

Thanks.

The frame's powdercoated in Silvadillo(sp?) the closest match to brushed steel I could find.

Mind you, after 4 years of constant riding, it definitely needs some sprucing up. I may bite the bullet this winter and take it apart to get some things redone.
