monsta rebuild

[hadesducati848]

so after your all finished i take it that you will never ride this bike again and it will be strictly a trailer queen? cause something that beautiful should never get dirty or be in the rain... how will you ever keep it clean otherwise?

"Also, you can see the bevel engine valve covers. I would like the round case bevel covers more because they have a lower profile, but they are harder to get so more expensive."

Thanks everyone! 

Trav, I was thinking skulls and flames for the tank!   

hades, I'm a fair weather rider these days.. and possiby it wont get ridden as much, because it wont get used as a commuter.
But after over 90,000 klm's including 10-20 track days, I'm happy for it to go out to pasture!   


Ohlins front end..   these are off an Aprilia RSV.  Had to make a spacer to replace the speedo drive (guess what I made that outa!) and a split  ally sleeve for one side of the axle.
Also, the bottom tripple clamp is veetwo. I scabed it out of the scrap bin and fixed it up. Bored top and bottom tripples to suit forks. Top triple is stock, removed casting marks and powdercoated both.   the things on the forks between the triples is the mounts for the Tommaselli clipon...  removed casting marks and powdercoated.



had to make a top triple nut so's my dash will sit flush...  anodized ally...



this is one of them small thing that tickle you things..

That motor belongs in the Louvre.   

I'm lovin' those anodized cam pulleys!   

[monsta]

hahaha
speeddog PM'ed me and suggested I swap the fork left to right!
all I can say is....   oops! 
I would have figured it out... eventually!

thanks speeddog

I thought you did that on purpose... you know, all in the name of customization.

I'm jealous about your skills and your work in progress

[monsta]

the stand was actually made by me..

started the wiring, fitted the motogadget dash and Ant System rear view camera. This is why I had to make another triple nut.. so's that it'll all sit flush. Made a key surround and had it anodized to match.



The dash bracket/surround was actually made from a section that was cut off my old exhaust, it was even a bit blingy by my standards so the bottom section was powder coated. top is polished..





motomaster brake disk's..  the wheels are off a later model. I bought em when I was doing heaps of track days and I wanted to put slicks on!  That never happened tho!    The web of the spokes is thicker near the axle and thinner as they go out, the opposite of the old ones. Makes the wheels look more open I think!   
Swingarm on..  ceramic coated Black..

I'm luuuuuving your work!!  So jealous of your talent!!  Keep those pictures coming 
I really hope you complete it in time for that bi-anual italian MC show.  Pretty sure you'll kick some serious ass

Ant System rear view camera

Street legal in Au to use instead of mirrors?


Really cool & interesting thread!

[Raux]
