Progression of your Monster

[psycledelic]

Well, I am bored at work and was weeding through my tinypics account and got to looking at pictures of my bike at different stages.  Kind of cool to look back at it I guess. 

No pics of when I bought it.  But It pretty much looked like all of the other Black&Tang 800s

About 3 months in

Shortly after joining the old board I decided to go at it with my dremel tool and spray paint

Discovered that monsterparts.com sold carbon fiber (Looking back, not sure what I was thinking with the gold grips)

Pretty much how it is now




Nothing special.  As I said earlier, just killing time at work (most productive 20 minutes I have had all night).

Thx for the compliment. 
Clone all you want, just please don't pass the crazy voodoo magic curse from your current bike to mine.  Your recent string of luck is unbelievable.

Those are the same DP/Termi headers that came with my original Termignonis.  I always liked the way they seem to "flatten out" the bottom of the bike from a profile view.  When I decided to drop the Termi cans, I sent the headers to Mark @ MotoCreations.  He made the extensions, added the spring attachments, and then coated the entire system flat black.  He has serious skill.  The extensions fit together perfectly.  Amazed me since I shipped my headers from NC to the west coast and he never actually matted them to my bike.  I know he has to use some sort of jig for the 800's, but damn, they go together like freakin puzzle pcs.  There pretty loud, but thats what I asked for.

Nice bike !
Here is my contribution :
My bike when I just bought it.





And this is it begin last summer.





Nothing extreme. Clear indicator lenses, black headlampring, Rizoma mirrors, Termi's and a shortened "beertray" .
Just the most common mods but they really make a big difference.
And I'm not done jet... (will one ever be ?)

I still have a couple of things left to do, most notably shorten the hose to the Ohlins remote reservoir and relocate it under the seat where the charcoal canister was.  While the shock is back at Ohlins, I'm having them re-do the SBK forks as well.

How 'bout a pic thread without a lot of discussion?  I you want to know something about someone's bike, PM them.

Before: Ducati 900CR is the 3rd one down the line. Yes -- I had two CBR900RR's. No -- my neighbors in the condo complex didn't like me.



After: someone wrecked the Ducati on a purchase "test ride" and it then become bitsa that sat for four years in a box before the engine was used in the below.  And my DesmoDevil (aka "Monster Chopper" for awhile) was the 1st bike with BoomTubes on it!  It's hard to imagine at times this was almost five years ago already...
