Subject pretty much says it...I am thinking about putting one on, but  had to look to all the great DMFers out there first.  If you have or know someone who has done this, could you please post pics, or let me know how the overall experience has been.
Thank you much!

not sure if the monza will fit the s4r because of the radiators but thats the best looking one in my opinion

If you are referring to the belly pan, all I can say is that I like mine.
This is perhaps one of the simplest mods I ever did and the one that
I had to struggle about a lot, only because by putting one on you are
moving away from the nakedness of the Monster.
I have a M1000,

Here are some pics with out




and here with.

Thanks Ducaticop...I will look into that one!

Holy crap Juan...That looks fantastic!  Very nice, thank you.  I too am struggling with the concept of covering up some of the nakedness.  That's the main reason I posted.

Does it serve any purpose or is it just for looks ?

(apart from holding spilled oil I suppose)
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

I love that CF exhaust....I want that so bad for my Monster.... [thumbsup]

I think that it looks good on your bike (gives it a little edge), but I can fully understand your feelings about stepping away from the naked look. On some bike it looks good, on others...not so much...

The purposes of it are catching oil when on the track and maybe some aerodynamic advantage.
To catch oil you would need the a larger full belly pan, like this:

The aerodynamics of a Monster is a lost cause anyway, so that leaves just the looks 8)

Juan's red belly pan definitely brings some color to the bottom and balances the looks.  Also closes the loop on the red wheel stripes.  Nice job. [thumbsup]

I put a DP race belly pan on my S4R this year.  If you PM me your E mail address I'll send you some pics.
