Cool - that should go nice if you also do a tail chop. Not sure if your bike has one but you can also get a clutch slave cylinder: http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/CLU0116/Clutch-Brakes/CLU0116.htmlI have one on my bike (Oberon) and it does decrease the amount of lever pull - this is very useful during rush hour traffic. Lastly, lots of people drop down to a 14T sprocket (I'm one of them) this makes the bike more peppy around town at the expense of a few MPH up on top. |

Congrats! I'm in San Diego too and just picked up a 2012 Monster 1100 EVO last weekend.
We should get a bunch of us together for a Ducati meetup!

I just bought the same bike in March (my 3rd monster).
Mine came with a carbon fiber beer tray that is actually kinda nice looking. I was going to chop it like my last two, but I have grown to like the look.
No links to it - but the stock part is UGLY!
A tip to clean the white rims - WD40. Splash some on a rag and all the junk will wipe right off. Do it before you wash it and then wash with your normal car soap and rinse it off. Makes it really easy. I had a few FZRs back in the day with white rims.

Using some of the Honda brand spray polish after they're clean also makes the next clean up a little easier. Nice pics by the way! Glad you celebrated the 4th with a ride. Too hot here to do anything outside. I'm waiting for October.  |

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Yeah, those wheels are tricky to clean, especially the fronts behind those huge Brembos! I've had good luck with Simple Green and a long-handled dish brush.
I can't wait to get rid of the beer tray and the huge turn signals. I'm definitely doing the Motodynamics integrated tail light but not sure about the chop yet.

Never was a chop fan. Obviously many are. I have the shorty carbon tray with an Evoluzione plate holder. Cleaned up the rear end nicely for me. Plus I still have a nice place to set my beer when messing with the bike! |

If you chop it, you have to shorten the cans. Looks odd when they stick out past the rear of the bike. Knock 3" off of them and it transforms the look of the chopped bike.

The signals mount to the bracket for the light. I don't know the brand, I bought the bike with it already done. It's real sweet though.
