BellissiMoto's Custom Monster S4RS - The beginning!

[billruiz]

How bout this thing I found on your site

I like the semi-blackout look. Nothing chrome or silver...

I certainly appreciate the great ideas you guys are throwing out there for me.

Here are a few of my goals/concerns/opinions:

Budget - I don't know what it is exactly, but it does exist.

Modifications I am willing to rule out:

Bike Research Carbon Fiber Frame - two reasons: I do have a budget, and I don't believe it was built to support a passenger.

Brembo Monoblock calipers - I'm happy with the oem calipers, and if I do change them (which I very well might, it will be to something like the Beringer, or Discacciati options).

Clip Ons - I shattered my right elbow while showing off on my kawasaki dirt tracker back when I was 18 and after riding a 1098 for the past 3 years I'm happy to return to upright bars (at least for now).

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? 

Its definitely the correct frame, but you are right about the GP style exhaust, it just might be out of my range of abilities to have one made that I would like.

As for pics with Amy...    I would probably wait until the bike is finished, but you never know!

If you are considering going down to the frame, maybe weld on some carefully placed bits for routing the wiring out of sight and reduce the number of ties wrapped around the frame.  I'd like to grind off the passenger peg mounts, but that is kind of a permanent mod.

I like that exhaust.

you have access to Quat D sourcing correct?
They have a 2 into 2 GP style for the HM, could be modified

I've never seen the 2 into 2, and a quick google search and checking their website has yielded me no results...

Can you post a picture?

As the owner of a black S4RS one of the things that bothers me the most is the black frame. It is such a signature element of the Ducati I hate that it is hard to see. At first I thought red would be nice but then I saw someone had gold anodized their swing arm, I am thinking the black and gold would look good as long as the gold was similar to the anodize on the forks, and not gold like the gold on a caddilac. Anyway just my 2 cents. I'd be interested to know how painful it is to get the bike down to the frame and back.

As far as the motor, there used to be a guy, I think it was on the old board, that would polish and knife edge the  crank. I built an MGB motor back in the 70's, without making a specific performance changes, just polishing and balancing all the internal engine components made a noticeable improvement in performance (granted the thing was seriously crude compared to the S4RS motor).

The other area is the radiator, again on TOB there was a thread where someone made a replacement that was more curved so it didn't present such a huge slab in front of the motor

   and when you find it let us know, I'll buy one too.

Can we get a far shot of the whole bike with that laser exhaust mock up? Looks

I really don't much care for that.  I seem to recall another thread (maybe on TOB) where I believe someone chopped up the radiator and made it smaller so it wouldn't stick out so far.  I think it looked much better than making it bigger and as I recall the OP stated that it didn't have any overheating issues.

here are my thoughts if It were my project.Paint frame orange, dark tank. No sidepanels. No wires anywhere.Gp exhaust. Anodize fork legs black. BST rims. Speedymoto triples anodized Orange. No chainguard.Tailchop.Black bars. Black everything. You will have sweetness.
Oh and just for fun I would leave on the fork reflectors. 

[Duck-Stew]

If you're going to go to the extreme with the bike.....

[Raux]

Randy did you get my email about the exhaust?

KTM already does that. When you sell your yellow bike, give it a shot.
