Show me your favourite monsters...

[Paranoid Dave]

Well as you know i'm moving on, getting a new canvas to play with. She has no name yet and no styling except that of the factory. I'm wondering about lots of things and directions to go...
So inspire me, show me your favourite monsters, pics or lincs i don't mind. Or even favourite bits of monsters, foot pegs, engine, screen, tail etc.

I'm looking for simplicity and style. you must have a few saved on your desktop, lets have a look please.
:D

I always liked these - especially the headlight arrangement...
Underslung twin exit exhaust is pretty cool too.

you like the lghts, I love the side pods behind/under the seat. Machined instead of dodgy plastic. Never worked out what to do there, something new or get rid? Hmmm ideas already.

This link has been on here a few times, don't know if you have it but it has some of the best monsters I've ever seen. And MANY of them:

that Demon looks so radical (and uber cool - i love it!), im surprised Bimota havent snapped it up! lol

well, PD, when it comes to wheels, i have always prefered 5-spokes, to the normal 3 on the doulbe sided swing armed versions. tho if you were going for a proper cafe racer influenced design, i'd say the only way to go is wire wheels!

im not a great fan of the aftermarket twin headlights (similar/ same as the ones on ~Kylie~), but i had a thought....... why not try and mount them, one on top of the other, rather than conventionally side by side?

What a shame when people have obviously put so much effort in and yet produced some horrendous bikes! Dirty, dirty airbrushing!

IMHO, of course!

You would certainly have one serious bad ass if you rode on it for a while, looks awful as well !

Ive seen that before dave...as youd expect its home made - a hybrid of 851 side panels (cut down towards back) and a standard monnie seat cowl...a man of your talent should be able to do this eh ???!!

Probably the best monster ive seen in terms of showing some design initiative and colour scheme was byrons...how cool was that (before its sad demise)???

Must be a pic in the gallery somewhere ?

[Paranoid Dave]

i remember byrons and prob have a pic myself. The thing is natty, this is a pretty carbon well made unit and i've seen dozens and dozens of them on sites on all sorts of monsters. Maybe originally it was a hand made unit and YES i have thought of the DIY again and probably will, but it must reatil from somewhere.

They're called Diopa and make all sorts of custom things. German company I think.
