Belly pan: Yeh/Neh

[CDawg]

Help me decide!  On some days I love the look of a Monster with a belly pan, on other days, I prefer the Monster stripped down to bare essentials.
What do you prefer?  Pros/Cons of belly pan?

P.S. These pics are from Riding House and not my bike:

Funny--I was thinking about the same thing today about my bike.

I really like the look of the pan. I say go fer it.  <vroom> [moto] <vroom>

I like 'em.  I had a full pan on my 620, the sort that would be track legal, and now one of the chin-fairings on my 900.  It covers up the looks of that god-awful looking header on the monsters.  I love the bikes, but that narsty looking pipe just hanging out there detracts a lot from the look IMO

I like the monza belly pan, like the one Juan has, It looks badass... Anything bigger than that, I don't like...

Well Dawg,,, I think that depends on alot of things. I seen a S4RS with udder removed & a Termi Shortie clamped onto 2 straigth pipes. It looked odd the way the pipe from the front cylinder hung out there in the open,,,but  a Belly pan/Cowl may have smartened that up.

Actually,, I like them on most bikes.

Neh! A true Monster is a naked Monster. The less plastic/CF the better. IMO

Juan's pictures are what did it for me I'm getting one. Less naked yes, but it balances the visuals IMO.

rgramjet has got what I had on my 620 and Juan has the chin fairing I mentioned for the 900.

The full pan really hides the headers - but it's bit of hassle since mine mounted using one of the rear set bolts.  So to chainge the oil, it meat pulling a rear set too.

The chin fairing needs off too, but that's just 4 allen bolts.  Easy peasy

The monza completes the bike imo.  one note of caution though.  If you get one and have a midpipe you will want to have some header tape on hand.  The new DP midpipe will touch the bellypan and you will smell smoke...from what i hear LOL.  Don't ask.  Header tape cleared that up.  Other than that it fits up very nicely.  I have the carbon one.

I'm with Ohmic. A Monster is a naked bike. It should have the minimum amount of plastic in the form of fairings, panels, etc.

If you need a belly pan for the track, then it belongs on the bike. If you don't need it for that purpose, you don't need it for any purpose.

What if I like the way it looks Ms Tevens?

I'm with Ohmic and Ms Stevens....

I like a Monster without the belly pan.

Clean and simple
