Not sure if I'm wanting to sell it. I am a bit overwhelmed by the abundance of carbon fiber on there though.

It's not too far west from you, I'm in Mississippi.  Luckily there weren't any t-storms around today.

It doesn't say who made it. I bought it off Adam in Denver when he parted out his S4R.

How my M750 looked when I bought it:





First thing I did was chop the tail and remove the turn signals, rear hugger, and tank pad and added a Roadracing full exhaust. Then I backed into it in my driveway like a jackazzand was inspired to transform it completely rather than just be content fixing the dented tank. So it got a coat of SEM "Hot Rod" black, and from there:

- A 900 Supersport engine swap. The engine was sourced from eBay for $250 plus shipping and looked like this when I got it:





After a valve job, complete top end rebuild, clean up and paint she looked like this:









The final rebuild also included:

- Keihin FCR's
- Pod filters
- IMA upper and lower triples
- Bitubo XZE 2 way adjustable monoshock in red
- Rizoma rearsets
- LSL carbon fibre bars
- Ducabike slipper clutch in red
- CTMOTO clutch cover
- Sargent seat
- Ducabike slave cylinder
- Ducabike gas cap
- LED 3 eye headlight
- Oberon billet turn signals
- Ducati Performance shorty aluminum front fender
- Shorty billet adjustable levers
- A bunch of other billet bling I'm forgetting about

And now looks like this:

Wow, that thing looks fantastic! Definitely love the cleanness of the air cooled Monsters.

  Thanks Steve! I know it becomes a joke to say, but I'm certain this bike is *really* done now. Well, maybe some front suspension work aside. I walk around it and I can't think of one thing it needs...everything that can be replaced with billet has been replaced with billet...the rear suspension has been addressed...the dog-ish-ness of the 750 motor has been taken care of by the 900ss..now it's time to put that $$ in savings for my next bike...which will either be an S4r such as yours or a new school M1100 (maybe the 2010 vintage with dry clutch). Or maybe it won't even be a Monster, I'm liking the 848 Streetfighter more and more.

As much as I love the S4R, that's such a big bike for around town commuting. I wouldn't mind to score another M900 to make into a commuting/motard-ish beast. I would love to lift the suspension a bit, Dunlop D616 tires and a 47/48 chainring so I have to work to keep the front tire down. Oh, and riser bars with a lot of blap, blap, blap

   I'm pretty sure mine is the ultimate street bike (for me) at this point. This 900 mill loves the low RPM range. I feel like I'm shaking the pavement rumbling around Cleveland on it.
