How bout pics of your favorite cafe racer that IS a Monster?

[Spidey]

Has this thread just turned into a free-for-all where we show pics of our bikes?  Ok, I'll play.

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.

By "sprucing up", DM means "a wash".  He only recently discovered the wonder that is s100.      

Joking aside, DM's bike is just amazing.  I don't go for chromed bling bikes, but his isn't what I'd call blingy.  There is so much exposed metal and so much shine that it becomes about the materials, not about the bling.  Great execution.  Me likey.

^^^^ Your bike f'ing rocks Spidey! 

How do those cherry bombs sound...compared to normal aftermarket exhaust? Was anything else done to them other than attaching them to the headers?

Well Triple J, those aren't cherry bombs.  Those are custom built mufflers by a friend of mine who used to make those mufflers for custom systems.  He's since quit doing those style mufflers to focus on other designs.  They sound like a regular Ducati w/cans but slightly more aggressive. 

There is a member here (speeddog) who does have cherry bombs on his S4 Monster.  Perhaps you could pry pics out from his hands...  His bike needed custom adapter pipes made up and it does sound good for the $$$ invested, but he just needs to do some 'finish' work on them.

BTW, I feel qualified to answer your question about Spideys bike as I'm the one who designed and built it.

Oops...sorry for the error.  I knew you did his bike...just figured you modded some cherry bombs from their look.

More and better pipe pics on my website man.  And I was just adding clarification in case you didn't know...  [moto]

Funny you mention this...  I was looking for alternatives, my cans on my Termis area looking at custom fitting something like that because they sound good on a nicely tuned V8 ~

how is the left side exhaust tubing connected to the exhaust can?
id really like to run just one can

[supertjeduc]

It's (was) a Silmoto 2 in 1
I cut it in half and put the Triumpf Zard on the header

This bike was on Ebay last summer.  Liked it enough to copy the pics off the ad just for kicks.

I really like that bumble-bee seat cowl along with the clip-ons, etc.  Very cool cafe look, I think, although I would ditch the headlight fairing.  Not a fan of the belly pans, either.

I've wondered how my Rs would look tricked out like this.

Comments?

[Kopfjager]

^^^^^ Yeah, the pic is too small. I can barely make out her tan lines. 

[JohnnyDucati]

I meant "comments" about the bike.   

I agree, though.  She shoulda picked a better outfit . . .

[DesmoDisciple]

Can you tell me how you did your rear sets? The support struts for the low mount exhaust, are those off the shell parts or custom?

I want to keep my low mount Termis, but change the rear sets. Lookin' for options. Thanks.

It's got an "'80 standard/cafe" look that not many people try for, but I happen to really like.

Adapted 'em to fit the midpipe, and welded a bracket to attach them to the stock location on the footpeg bracket.
I like the way they sound. 
They're a bit on the loud side after ~30k miles, packing's probably gone.

I like the paint job on the tank it's classic and boy it sure rocks
