Too late...  The bike's already w/it's owner and it was already at the Rock Store last sunday.  That, and I'm moving to Albuquerque on Saturday.

The new photos take it to another level, if that was even possible.    [thumbsup]

That is the only pic I've got from him thus far.  And the size you see it is the size I got...  I'm waiting for the poster-sized photos!

Thing is, I like the motogadget enough that I'd like to be able to see while riding without having to do a bit of an awkward look-down, but maybe its more exaggerated in pictures than it really is. I have never looked down at my ignition switch area while riding, maybe its not too hard afterall.

That said, my favorite is the hidden oil cooler.

It's really not that awkward. Just a quick momentary glance. Besides, it forces you to feel things out a little more, focusing more on the machine and less on numbers. Is nice!

And thanks, everyone. It's the most fun I've ever had on a motorcycle  [moto]

I'm not eloquent enough to express how much I like this bike.  The details are nice such as the scrambler type tire thread, the black spoked Alpinas and the hidden oil cooler (which I predict will become a frequently copied idea for customized Monsters).  I also love the universal SuperTrapp dirtbike mufflers, heat wrap, black oil lines & fittings, and the unique finish to the forks.  However, there is more to this bike than just cool details.  It really comes together as a tough looking scrambler type Monster.  The only other bikes I ever seen similar to this one were the JVB Moto Monster & Multistrada scramblers.  This is the kind of bike I've thought about before, but never in a million years could I have had it come together this well.  Congratulations Brendan and good job Stuart. 

Were the forks anodized that color?  What color is it?  (edit: Nevermind I see that you mentioned they are clear hard anodized.)

Love the styling on the bike, its nice to see something different, and the front end is incredible  [thumbsup]

A few "tweaks", ok some pretty big ones, I think would look if this bike will continue to evolve:

Lowering it front and rear very slightly, it looks just a bit too tall and spindly for some reason
Tubular, Sport Classic style swingarm - this would be awesome and make the rear look as good as the front
Dual shotgun style high exhaust - you could even keep the cans, but pipes up there would really tie the exhaust together and complete the theme
