Nice and simple Travman!!
Is that ceramic on the header tube?
No, I am planning coating the exhaust with high-temp ceramic coating, but that is just high temp silver paint. I put it on last May or June and it is still looking pretty good. I've done a few minor touch ups. I'm surprised it has lasted this long.

Is your suspension jacked up? Your bike looks pretty high.

I jacked up my rear also, and lowered the front as well.
The thing turns in sooo much quicker now with more weight over the front end!
I had to take it easy the first coupla hours with the new setup. As I would initiate the turn like normal, Rosie would turn so quick, I would have to straighten up so I wouldn't run off the INSIDE of the corner, then turn in again.
Now I realize I can brake a bit later, and carry a bit more speed through the turn. [moto]
I guess the short answer would be that it handles much better...

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Pretty much what Bacon Junkie said. It does turn in quickly. The lighter wheels have contributed a little more to that too. I have more weight over the front end with the way it is set up so to me it feels better with more feedback. I've got a Penske rear shock with remote shock in the rear and Ohlins internals for the forks done by Marc Sutton's Duc Shop. Bumps in the road don't upset the bike much at all which is gives me a lot of confidence when diving into a corner that may not be perfectly smooth. Brake dive is minimized compared to other Monsters I've ridden.

Just asked since I'm setting mine up and is not so 'radical' in the front rake. I've got a quicker turn in, but, still looking for the adjustable height rod to finish up the rear and set sag correctly.
