While in Iraq I just kept buying parts for the Monster.  The list is something like:
Top triple
clutch cover, springs, caps
red clutch and front brake reservoirs
black rear brake reservoir
woodcraft clipons
new Al grips, bar end sliders
frame sliders
Giles Tooling rearsets
GP shift lever (didn't use the Giles linkage, got a lever to go right onto the mount)
tail chop
Vizitec integrated rear light
Rizoma front turn signals
Ohlins rear shock
rebuilt front fork w/ Racetech springs for my weight
CRG levers (I just got these and don't have them on the bike yet, that is this afternoon / evening when I stop riding)

As of right now I'm pretty happy, but I need to move the gauges beneath the triple and get a new headlight setup.  Riding with a friend who has a BMW I realized that I can't see crap at night.

Oh, and I also picked up a new bike this weekend too...

Thanks man.  I try to clean it from time to time, but if the weather is nice enough to clean, then it is nice enough to ride...  One of these days I'm going to make an all out effort to really scrub her down and clean her off. Just like that mythical day when I'm going to go down and organize my storage unit.

I got the bike used and the sprocket cover was already on there when I bought it and I have no idea what kind it is, but it is pretty cool.  I've gotten a couple questions about it before and wish I could be of more help.  I'll take another picture of it tomorrow and maybe someone can identify it.

The clutch cover is definitely Speedymoto, I still have the box. ;D
The sprocket cover, visible in the 2nd picture from the top, is of unknown origin.

I love the wheels too, but they have been through their own drama already...

Wow, NICE new bike!  I like the wheels on the Monster too.  As far as cleaning you bike goes its your bike so clean it when you want.  Just remember though that when a bike gets dirty enough, eventually it gets to a point where you cant really clean it back up.  You know, stuff gets caked in and all.  When you get around to cleaning it hit your pipes w/ some brasso and scrub like heck.  [thumbsup]

Thanks for the pics and above all thanks for your service.

Nicely done.  Very nice bike.  If I may suggest - ditch the frame stickers.  I moved mine to under the seat just in case they were required to be on the bike though I've been told they don't.  That Triumph aint too shabby either.  Congrats  [thumbsup]

Very nice. What brand seat is that?
