My 2004 Monster 1000, PIC HEAVY

[04monsterduc]

Here are some pics of my bike. It was purchased on a salvage title. I fixed it up and now it has a clear title  . Used to be the Senna color.

List of stuff repaired;
New front rim "ebay"
New rectifier
Patched the exhaust header
Patched the motor
New front tire
Bike cost $2g on ebay, put $1g into it and now I have a beast .
New paint
New fuel pump (pain in the ass)

Tear down






You can see my uncle's 96 900.


Rebuild



Paint












First Ride, rectifier failed  








Painted the front rim



Painted clutch cover


I have chopped the exhaust, just need to paint the cans. Once that is done, I'll post pics. Bike also has the open air box mod with a K&N filter. I am looking to do more mods so any suggestions are welcomed.

Looking good
 
Just need to open that clutch up

[04monsterduc]

Thought about opening the clutch, the painted cover will have to do for now. I was laid off in may so money isn't coming that fast. I plan on;

tail chop
led brake light
led front turn signals
bar end mirrors
painting belt covers (blue outside, white inside)

I am worried about doing the led stuff because I don't have the Red key or code card  .

The bike came with the CA Cycle works billet top triple clamp, but I am missing the adjusters for the forks. (Not sure if the original forks are adjustable) If any one knows where I can get those it would be a help. I'll post a bike of the triple clamp once it stops raining here

[thought]

did anyone else, when seeing the first pic, think... "omg, half invisible bike!"?

And people dont believe in resurrections.

Impressive work!

Two comments:

1.  It's "SENNA".   

2.  Please explain patch on bottom of engine case!!!   

[04monsterduc]

My bad on the SENNA, typo lol.
The patch is there bc when I bought the bike the cases had a hole in them. (wish I took a pic) After researching and finding out that it would cost about 4g's to replace, the patch was the next best bet. I took a piece of aluminum that I had laying around and cut it to size. Then I drilled and tapped some holes into the case and used high temp RTV silicone. The patch works great, and only leaks a lil bit of oil when it is cold outside. Once the motor is warm, the leak is gone.

Awesome!   You sir have courage!!!  And a bargain

IT'S ALIVE!!!  IT'S ALIVE!!!

BTW, how'd  the PO put a hole in the case?

Cool, resurrection!

I have a mental image of a dialogue much like this preceding the incident:

"Think you can wheelie over that curb?"

"I don't see why not."

Not sure as to how the prev owner was able to get the hole. But he did do a lot of damage to the bike. He bent the front rim, put hole in the motor, two holes in the header. He did a fantastic job screwing it up.

But a bargain for you as well as a good looking bike.

I am looking to do more mods so any suggestions are welcomed.

First mod you should do is the odometer addition mod.

Go put a buncha miles on that beast and enjoy the hell out of it.

It looks great!  You can worry about mods come winter.
