Hey guys,

I've got a '99 Monster Dark 600 and I'm looking to freshen up her looks with a bit of carbon fibre bodywork. I'll definitely be getting a CF belly pan for the bike, but I don't want to go overboard on the CF. I've scoured the boards with the search engine to try and find some examples but their fairly far and few between.

So I was wondering if people who've customized their own Monster Darks with CF, would fancy posting up some pics for me to draw some inspiration from? ;D Any recommendations would also be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,
    I am trying to do the same thing with my 05 620 Dark.  I am looking for the same type of information.

Very nice!  [thumbsup] Do you have any side-on photos that show the bike a little clearer?
