Monster Race Bikes

[jarelj]

Hey cool, a new Monster forum!  Guess I'm a couple months behind the times, I posted over at the old dml and was wondering why no one ever replied.......  it's like a ghost town... guess I know now!

So I just got my Monster race bike done, I'll be racing in the CCS Lightweight class with it the rest of the year.  Still have to get it dyno'd and figure out why my battery keeps getting drained, but I plan to have it out at a track day on Monday to do a little testing with the chassis.  It started as a '98 M900, but now is a high-comp 944 with ported heads, dual-spark conversion, hotter cams, 41mm flatslides, Yoyodyne slipper clutch, Nichols light flywheel, Sil-motor spaghetti headers ceramic coated, leo vince cans, roadracing aluminum tank, Ohlins forks from a 999S with custom triples and 4-pad brembos, Ohlins shock, Brembo 19x20 radial master, 748 race upper and tail mounted to the original Monster seat pat for easy removal, Carrozzeria forged aluminum wheels and Carrozzeria wave rotors, and a bunch of other stuff.  Should be fun!!  Who else is racing a Monster??

Well, maybe if you combine it with the 1098, I could have gotten a nice mobile home in a trailer park.....

We built 2 similar 944 motors at the same time, one was mine and one went in an SS900ie race bike for one of our customers.  His made 85 at the wheel running single-spark, and with stock headers, so I'm hoping for 90 or so running dual-spark wth my flatslides on pump gas.

I am,  www.teamatomicracing.com  On my website, I have several pics of mine and it should be getting updated today.
There are several of us campaigning 620s in CRA. The 900 is now LW legal, and I know of one M900, and one SS900 being set up for next year.

Look me up if you plan to come to BIR.

If you haven't been there, do a trackday. It's a really fun track.

Your putting that Roadracing tank on a race machine?!?!?!
You got balls, Sir.

[tufty]

Don't you need an oil catchpan to race?

Which one are you going to use?

P.S. looks great, good luck with that Chromo tank though

What are you worried about, it's got the word "racing" right in the name!!

Yeah you're right, I just haven't put it on yet, I have a Catalyst Racing bellypan painted black.  I just need to make a couple little brackets for it.

Where did you get that header system
I found one similar?? at spareshack.com
but I emailed them and have not heard back from them
I am a bit leary about ordering anything out of the country
I called motowheels and they were going to call me back regarding
a group buy but also have not heard back from them

I am looking for a spaghetti header for my '95 supersport
and I also have a '98 monster
