Cool - I don't think I've seen that before waytogo

It's a large piece. Have you considered painting it to blend in more?
(engine grey, frame color, white like your seat cowl or a combination of these)

Is it a race pan - will it hold oil - was it a straight forward bolt on?

HAHA stingray-thats funny

ya stopintime i talked to my painter and we'll probably be blending it really soon, doesn't hold any oil though, just real straightforward bolt-on.  i was a little cautious at first worried that it would be just a cheapass fiberglass piece, but the quality is top-notch. 

 waytogo to spareshack, service was great, always returned my emails in a timely manner, and it got here all the way from the UK in only five days!!

here is a before pic also, this was my bike about a month ago, the only mod when i took over was the exhuast, everything else was bone stock, i cored the cans within the first week and raised the bars.  i just think it looks kindof "weird" how you can see the exhuast under the engine like that so now the bellypan covers everything up but you still get that "naked" look

Ah, you've got the classic fairing.

Don't change triples to CycleCat (hard to find now) or any other top triple or you end up losing the mounting location for the brackets for that particular headlight fairing - its different than the newer Monsters.

well, I like it. maybe it's just that extra piece in the back that's throwing some people off.

I agree that it looks too "Naked" under there with just the pipes, even for a naked bike.

yeah i think its the peice that goes back a little too far. the lines look like the pan should cut off
 and follow the exhaust up but it doesnt.

I think it looks good  waytogo its not my cup of tea, but what a boring forum if we all did our bikes the same.
i definitely like it a lot better than the "chin spoilers"  vomit
(no offense chin spoiler ppl)


p.s. love the naked belts. Did the previous owner cut one of the belt covers in half?!?! wierd!

I really like the look of it except for maybe the little tailpiece sticking out behind the exhaust.  Overall a very nice looking bike.  Well done.   waytogo

the older monsters have belt covers that are in several pieces.  looks like the front piece was removed and all the others left on.

when the bike was yellow yes i only took off the front portion, they are in pieces, but then when i was wrenching on it while it was getting painted black, i figured it looked so damn cool and got so many people saying "holy sheet you can see the belts moving dats pretty coo!!" i just took off all the covers!!
