BellissiMoto's Custom Monster S4RS - The beginning!

[BellissiMoto]

I purchased a Monster S4RS from a friend/customer of mine a couple weeks ago and wanted to share the rebuild with you guys.

Pictures and more information can be seen here - http://bellissimoto.com/CustomS4RS.html

And we have plenty of work to do, so stay tuned for plenty of fun updates.

Thanks guys,

The next couple weeks will be full of big decisions regarding this project so if you have any opinions/ideas feel free to post up.

Here are some concepts/ideas I am wrangling with:

Forks: I can't seem to find an undamaged left Ohlins fork leg, so I will probably just sell the right side and add a set of the following: Marzocchi RAC 50's, Extreme Tech's, or if I hit the lottery - Bitubo RDH forks 


Wheels: Carrozzerias are definitely in consideration, along with Marvic Assens, but I will probably wait until I return home from Milan's EICMA show this November before I make any concrete decisions.


Shock: Bitubo, Extreme Tech, or possibly FG Gubellini.


Exhaust: Different is a key... below is what we have been toying with yesterday:






Supercharger?    I wish.

2 into 1 into  GP exhaust......I see coolness!

[TAftonomos]

I've built one like that before.

Either it's so loud you feel bad for people around you (and have the wear earplugs ALL the time)

or

it's so choked down to quiet it that it now feels like a S2r1000.


Looks cool though, but for me functional is fashion....

[BellissiMoto]

Obviously function is important, but I do not believe the Laser Dual tips will rob power.

If they are too loud for me, I could add a small db killer.


Will it be the final decision?

I have no idea, this is really just a brainstorming stage...

[BellissiMoto]

I'm beginning to think about a complete teardown...

Anyone here think its worth it to drop the motor and have the frame customized with some new paint/powdercoat/carbondry protec/nickel plate/etc...?

Seriously, if you guys have any ideas for the bike, lay em' on me.

What are your goals with it?

Suggestions are hard without knowing where your head is at, and your project budget is at? Do you plan to go all out on this like your concorso 1098?

Personally, I'ld love to see one of Pepe, over at radicalducati's tanks and seats on there. This involves a little frame altering (welding a new seat bracket, and tank stays).  With the dual tipped laser pipe setup low, (similar in vertical placement to the streetfighters stock exhaust), some pod intakes (I know, it's a horse or 2 down on power from an airbox on the 4vs).

Monsters, and naked bikes in general, look better to my eye, the more negative space they have.  Lots of space between the rear wheel and the frame. Lots of space between the tank and the motor. Negative space in the frame.  if you can see through it, it's sweet.

Black out the motor and the bodywork, red frame. Red Marzocchis up front.  Matching shock.

EVR, BST 5 spokes, Braketech Irons with the red buttons.

I like the low front look. Get rid of the headlight U bracket, for the LSL Headlight brackets, clipons, speedymoto top triple.  Reflash the ECU to get rid of the immobilizer, and forget the dash alltogether

[booger]

^ yup, especially the red Marzocchis, but I'd go for the Mamba style BSTs. Full Beringer front brake kit in red: masters, rotors, and six pot calipers. Gloss black tank with matte black stripe.
I'd stay with the current frame and ditch the side panels then reroute all the wiring to clean it up. Riding House chin fairing, radiator covers, and rear mudguard painted gloss black. Lower the headlight & black the ring out, deactivate immobilizer, install Motogadget Motoscope Mini. Boomtubes. Black 999 front fender. Sargent seat.

[Raux]

Wheels: OZ or BST  both the lightest in their respective materials
Brakes: Full monoblock Brembo radial with CMC rotors
Forks: Marzocchi 50
Triples: CNC (you've got the source)
Frame: full paint (wetter look than PC)
Remove all extra body/panels
Seat/tail: CF Monoposto
Engine: Magnesium side cases
Rear shock: Marzocchi race unit
Tank: CF
Color scheme: TriColor with CF peaking through
Exhaust: QuatD 2 into 2
Air Filter: Pods
Heads: MBP
other obvious like slipper, etc. your normal touch


goal: light, powerful, functional, minimalistic styling

Is that the correct frame for an S4RS?  Pipes looks a little skinny.

If you're going crazy, fab up a GP-style exhaust!!!  One pipe at the top, one out the side.

Something missing about those pics...  Ah right where's your GF?
