old M projects, ongoing projects etc

[savetheclutch]

hey guys, new to the forum but funny enough I found my first monster here about 7 years ago and that one bike started a bit of an obsession.
2002 M750


then I bought a 1198S, a few other monsters, a 998 etc etc

here are a couple of my current monster projects:

this one started as a M620




We took the bike apart, did the valves and belts, powdercoated a bunch of parts






we took a set of sport classic wheels apart and powdercoated them







and the final product



the garage at that point

After finishing the bike I took it for a ride, and holly crap the 620 is slow!! then right after that the bike started running on one cylinder


so I figured screw it.. lets swap a 800 engine I had for another project




When I started working on the swap I bought a hypermotard and kind of put the monster on the side; but I am fortunate to have friends with some sweet monsters that I can ride around when I want to




but I will be resuming the monster as we are also building a cool s2r and this SS

You've been busy how difficult was the wheel swap?
I guess the 620 should feel slow after some of the bikes you ride. Be great to see how the 800 transplant goes. An 1100Evo motor has quite vivid performance and holds it own against the super bikes everywhere except the track main straight where 100hp is lacking nowdays.
That Supersport looks interesting.

Very cool 

Keep'em coming!

There is just something flat out awesome about a white frame!

thank you, the wheel swap was not difficult at all once you have all the parts but it took me a bit of trial and error though it helps having a sport classic in the garage to cross reference the parts


the white frame is beautiful, it has a pearl effect to it that cant be translated in pics

[savetheclutch]

just started this other project... because I dont have enough things to do 

this is a 750 frame with the rest being  s2r 800 parts that we have been collecting 

we took the frame and cut the ears, the footpeg mounts and all the tabs in the back



and started prepping all the small parts that will also get powder coated


lowering the dash

[savetheclutch]

Some new updates, got parts back from powder coating for the S2R









we needed to get our ducs in a row  we needed to organize this place




and started working on the m800 swap again

One fish at a time is good fishin'.
Great to see how she goes.

Funny enough both of us work in project management, yet we can not prioritize our own projects hahah

The wheel job must be close to perfect  very nice gold/champagne

Really looking forward to how these projects pan out.

new updates

this weekend was a great success

got some more stuff done on the s2r, got the tires on but unfortunately we received the wrong bearings and a few little parts didnt come back from powder coating so we could not get it on it's own 2 wheels



my Friend and garage partner got working on his 1098 which was sitting for a while after he lowsided at the tack last year



but the good news is that the M800 and the sport classic are back on the road!!



the sport classic is still a project and it needs a lot but I am glad I can ride it



and I was even able to take this thing out for a few hours
