I hate you lot

[madalf71]

Welcome Justo.
Bling is good...enough said, and every Monster is different.
Where to stop is often the problem!

I keep all OEM parts, has been a good re-sale point with previous bikes.

Bigger garage, but of course, just extended mine out another 7 metres.

Cherrio...may the bling be with you!

That I can understand too. In trying to be different we all become the same. See the "emo" phase. Though I think they all committed suicide. I hope my fascination won't leed to that.

Good point.  If you're at all concerned that your (and mine too... BASTARDS... oh Christ do I need help    ).... um that your bling addiction could lead to your demise vis a vis our Emo buddies.... then what you need to ensure your safe retardation from a terminal velocity.... is a cool new pair of Galfer wave rotors 

..... Just trying to be helpful....

There are some who think that blinged monsters are a bit like those blinged WRXs, Supras and EVOs,  they all start to look the same after a while and to own a stock one with zero bling is really expressing your individuality and good taste.

I saw a stock Monster once (OK I mean I did actually see one recently) and thought .... hmmm, something not quite right here - but its a nice enough looking bike.

Nah go for some nice ceramic matrix composite discs ... that would be individual ... not girls bike blingy ... and the missus will hate us a whole lot more.

only people who can't afford to mod would say that, the monster begs for it.

Almost two conflicting views there:

Yes the Monster is made for being modified as evidenced by the million page colour bling book that comes with every purchase ... do they still do that?

But few people actually purchase from the bling catalogue because it's so overpriced.

Yes they do, allong with clothing, apparel etc. I got 4 booklets all glossy and printed beuatifully when I bought my bike. Oh and a manual thats bloody tiny and printed 2 colour.

Bit like "oh, here's your bike and instructions, blah blah, blah, by the way have you seen all the other really nice stuff we sell, you got any money left? - perhaps another loan?"

Cheeky monkeys.

I'm a seller/giver. I've got limited space and if I sell it...I want it to go to someone who sees the canvas as blank anyway. My bike had some bling on it....and I just change it for my bling....sold the owners old bling and bought different bling...it all works.

tomorrow I'm doing the drivetrain....

do you reckon there's a bloke out there who will say....yeah....I like the bike but that DID/AFAM stuff is crap, do you have the stock carrier cause I like the idea of bushings backing out....or....I don't really like Ohlins....do you have the stock Sux shock?

If it's aesthetic, then keep the stock part in case your image doesn't go with the buyers...
if it's performance.....sell the stock part for a little cash
It's it's non-stock bling....sell it....it will be treasured by another DMFer!

Ahhh. yes. thats just makes pure sense. Thanks for cutting through the clutter and simplifying monstering.

Now watch this space, Ill may have some stock pre-performance bits for sale. if anyone here (which i doubt being in blingville) wants to buy. Nuffin too fancy.

oh that is so true!
i've modded mine tastefully (i hope!) but not much came from the ducati performance catalogue, i'd need a 2nd mortgage for that! i am one frugal make the beast with two backser! i scour the net for a deal and then wait till the X rate is good, like now..........

i only like to bling things that i can do my self , my hole bike will be polished soon 

[Yellow Meanie]

Hi everyone, my name's Mr Meanie, and I am a bling addict...

Like Loony, I'm a bit of a tight-arse. I'll either scour the interweb for a really good deal, or just do stuff myself.
My rearsets were 2nd hand from Matty, clipons and frame plugs also 2nd hand from Dannog.
Clutch cover, is actually a stock item I bought from "Spider Imports", then cut/shaped/painted myself.
Bar-end mirrors are cheap ebay CRG knockoffs, and the pipe hangers I made myself out of scrap!
Top triple is a "blemished" item from CAcycleworks.
Oh, the tail chop cost me nothing too. I just chopped bits off, then made some bracketty bits out of scrap stainless.

So yeah, she's "blinged", but in the cheapest way possible 

And I have kept all my stock parts too. Just in case

yeah, but where did the mivvs come from? PJ's I'm guessing!

[bazz20]

i dont know where they came from but they should go back 

[Yellow Meanie]

Whoops, forgot about them.

The came from Bike Monkey. He was cheaper than PJ's
