BellissiMoto's Custom Monster S4RS - The beginning!

[BellissiMoto]

Any updates?

Not a whole lot right now, I'm still waiting on a couple of the larger pieces to arrive, and some of the other concept ideas to be confirmed...

I also picked up a second project bike - a fairing less Ducati ST4 with only 1200 miles to turn into a streetfighter which will be significantly simpler than the Monster, and will probably be done first.

I'll keep you guys up to date though,

Any updates?
I like that exhaust. I may have to pick up that tip and have something fabed

[BellissiMoto]

The frame and swingarm was dropped off at the painters yesterday, should be done next week.

I've also got a Bitubo XXF31 rear shock going on it, and am working on getting some custom triples made for the new front end.

There is also a slight chance of us adding a supercharger, but we've gotta find a competent machine shop to do some reverse engineering and custom adaptations from a 1098 supercharger kit we have in stock at the moment.

I'll start a new thread for our ST4 project bike later today as well.

[BellissiMoto]

No-Go on the Supercharger - the complete kit would run us around $7,000 to have produced, so I think I'll have to survive with around 150 measly hp for now...

The goodies are on starting to roll in...

Marzocchi forks and triple clamps arrived today!!!

[BellissiMoto]

The frame made it back, and is seen here with the Marzocchi RAC 50 triples.




Stay tuned, the real fun starts today!!

You need to start taking these pictures with the chick from the ads you sent out over Christmas.  Dayummmmmmm!!   

[erichan8757]

that's his wife.!
i was a bit shock when i see the xmas promotions tho,
not doubt those were nice promotions and products!

[Cloner]

Even better!  A vendor who (in some way) SHARES THE LOVE!!!  Gotta love a man who appreciates his wife enough to use her for advertising!  Bellisimoto just went up two notches in my pantheon of esteemed Ducvendors.

[BellissiMoto]

Yeah, she's a great sport about all of it, if not a downright supporter (you should see how mad she gets whenever I sell one of my bikes!), ohh and those X-mas pics where a blast to shoot.

Here are some pictures from today (sorry, no Amy pics though).

Bitubo XXF31 rear shock installed



Thats it for now... Marzocchi forks to get installed in a few days, along with a nice EVR slipper clutch and plenty of little detail items.

wheels/brakes/exhaust/general front end set up are still a mystery to me though...

[junior varsity]

please do sicom rotors so there will be a used set available at some point in the future. or at least so i can hear first hand reports on how well they perform and projected life.

no adj ride height rod? ncr makes a ti one... (i have the ncr alu one...)

[BellissiMoto]

I'm tempted by the Sicoms, really, I am, but I'm currently building two custom bikes and not trying brake the bank too badly - especially not before I know for sure what the next Ducati SBK is going to be like.

I think we will have to wait and see on that one... as for the ride height adjuster - I know, and trust me I'll be swapping it out, but Ive got to wait until I have the right one, and then I'll do it.

Looking good.  I look forward to checking this thread.

Looking good.  I look forward to checking this thread.

Presently we are just waiting on some more parts to arrive, and trust me, even though it will be too cold to really ride it for a couple more months - I'm still quite anxious.
