Headlight is Motowheels 7' LED. Bought all the parts from The RetrofitSource to create an HID kit (if anyones looking) but then found the Motowheels kit and bought that. Light output is FAR better than OEM and highbeam is highbeam and folks can't miss me. Lowbeam just uses the upper half of the headlight, full beam is the entire headlight. Got a 7' lexan film for the yellow tint.

Front Fender is the standard CF 916 front fender from our my parts supplier Jeff@Monster parts.

Belt covers is a hodge podge between the Rizoma belt covers for the S4R and the OEM CF one that came stock with the bike. Couldn't get the entire Rizoma to line up correctly, so I cut it into two for something different and painted it black with Plasti Dip. The upper and lower part of the belt covers are Rizoma so you cansee the belts working and the middle section is CF.

What else you wanna know??? [beer]

That's about it for now! The fender looks like it's made for a different gen of Monster or a different bike, looks way better than the super long OEM that's why I was curious. I had guessed that was the case with the headlight, will probably go that route myself minus the yellow when I build my SC. And those clear Rizoma's on a 4 valve look way better than open covers. That's too much cool machinery to cover completely. Nice job, sick bike!!  [thumbsup]

There's a few different CF fenders you can go with, I actually ended up rocking the 696 style one on my 620



Here's the 916 style like Monsta had:

Maybe that's what I should do next on the s2r..... [evil]

I like the SBK style front fender (i.e. 748, 916, 996, and 998) because it provides little forks protections (rocks and stuff).

but just don't like the cut off at the end of the fender, kinda odd looking to me.

but this is nice (alternative to the new gen monster fender):  http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/008FDM/C-M600-M1000/008FDM.html

Found out the SBK fenders wont work fit on a monster with ABS (like the 796).  At least without being modified.  The ABS sensor bracket hits the inside of the fender and pulls it way to the left of center.

The narrower radiator is def a big change

Did the radiator come from my side of the pond Dave ??

I've not seen Stewarts bike since WDW2012 so hence the question... ???

Makes a hell of a difference... [bow_down]

Hi Geoff!!

Yep, Pace. Same radiator at Stewart's.  There's a thread on this board somewhere.

Still my favorite Monster fender;


tasty,  Funny how I see it n red with a white stripe.   :D

Just grabbed one of these for weekend trips.



And one of these for hotel security, while it is parked outside the door.  


Two things I don't do.  Keyboard bullies and hypocrites.
Feel free to PM me if needed, otherwise you will find me elsewhere.

Got me a steering damper on ebay for the 1100evo, hopefully it is for the 1100...
Is there anything to look after while installing it?

Installed the Motodynamics integrated tail light and Barracuda short tail (no tail chop) both sourced from MONSTER PARTS where the best customer service in the world lives(Plug for Jeff H. [thumbsup])
Not thrilled with the tail section feel for the price, feels, chintzy I guess, but does the job. I saw no need to drill as using just the two rearmost holes secures it well enough and the screw heads are mostly hidden by the tail light.
Sorry for the crap pics.
