I keep realizing I left stuff off. Like there's a Nichols billet rear brake caliper mount, the moto master rear brake caliper, open airbox with ferracci ring, updated to 2000+ sidestand bracket so I could use a CC sidestand, no more emissions box, carb vent pods and soon - 'plastic' in general (going to learn how to do carbon fiber to replace the back of the gauges, the airbox/battery/coil mount, and under-tail) and some other misc billet things. I've done a lot of it myself, since I couldn't rightly afford to pay somebody to bolt something on after purchasing it - hell most of this stuff is crazy easy to do I learned. You just might have to buy a tool or two.

I've learned a bit about the chassis set ups, in regards to suspension, the linkage design and rake/trail differences from Monster Generations and the Supersports. The new triples I have waiting to be put on move the offset out to 30mm from around 25mm which will make them have the same offset and steering feel as the 2002+ Monsters (the ones on the ST frame). Interestingly the SS and the pre-02 Monsters shared a lot in common - including triple steering stem diameter (the smaller one, unlike the 02+ models) but Ducati gave them the 30mm offset straight out of the box.

I also moved as many wires as I could (without cutting things) to the other side of the bike, not really shown in those pics but you can imagine. The ones usually behind the side covers.

Thanks! Far from done, still want to get 6 pot front calipers and upgraded rotors, lightweight wheels, and the ignition / high comp pistons done.

Next up will be getting a 900SS to tinker with since I already own a second set of cams (race instead of torque for these)...

hahaha. I've got locks all over the inside of the garage, so it can't be rolled out. Also, sometimes I sit in there with the lights off, in my underwear, holding a rifle, just hoping somebody tries.

Wow! You do that too?? waytogo

Remind me to tell you about the attempt to take my bikes from my storage unit this last January. They thought they came prepared until they ran into the dozens of 30mm OnGuard cable locks! They even went down the street and stole a box van and smashed it through the gate of my storage complex ready for "business". I would have loved to have sat back in a lawn chair with a cold beer and watched their feeble efforts! laughingdp drink They left empty handed and abandoned the stolen box van in front of my unit! I told the manager he had a choice: either let me move all my stuff to another unit right now or I'm spending the night in my busted up unit with an AR15. He helped me move. popcorn cheeky

did you show the zombie rifle you were going to be equipped with? if you had hidden it, you might have gotten to have even more fun.
