Nice bike Nicky.
Now all you need to complete it is this: 12444

George. :mand:.

[MonstaChicky]

Is that yours? And are you selling it?! :)

[BluprintZ]

Check your PM's in ten mins Nicky, i'll send more pics etc.
Yes it's up for grabs.

[Pedro]

Hey MC

post your pics up on the UKMOC Bikes gallery sometime

[MonstaChicky]

Erm...how do I do that Pedro?! :)

[Panther]

The drop bars look good (any more pictures of them)

I think a belly pan, with a white strip, would be a nice addition.

[MonstaChicky]

Yeah I think you're right...here's the drops before screen went on...not sure bout mirrors yet, the old ones look silly now...

Sorry Nicky, i can't seem to upload the pics in the PM area, so i'll have to put them here, why can't i upload the pics Pedro?

I'm not putting the belly pan back on mine after the re-build, so it's your's for £25, plus postage/courier.
It's not perfect, there's a small amount of damage to the underside, re: pics, although it's easily fixed with a trip to halfords for a touch of fibre-glass, it isn't carbon.
All the brackets and fasteners are included, so you could fit it straight away if you wished.
Anyway, check the pics out and let me know what you think.

Care,
G : )

Looking good Nicky, I like the ace bars!

[Space Cadet]

Looks good!!, very similar colour scheme to mine and a belly pan really made a great difference to mine, would definitely recommend you getting one.

Also a cheap mod was to replace the orange indicator lenses with clear versions; this again made a great difference.

My imola bellypan burnt through in exactly the same spot. They don't mould it deep enough to clear the downpipes properly IMO. I took a dremel to mine and cut out a 2" W x 8" LG slot to clear pipe and aid cooling, before I got it re-painted - sorted :thumbsup:

Hi Gary.

Yea, weird one that!
How come the manufacturers haven't picked up on that problem?
I suppose that most people can't really be bothered and i expect it takes a year or two to burn all the way through, bit odd though eh?

G. :thumbsup:.

Well mine only took about 2 weeks to burn through - depends how close it fits I suppose?

The problem with the Imola is you can't see the down pipes when it's fitted, making it very difficult to judge how close it sits. I also think the full length, solid bottomed design traps heat under the engine making the pipes run much hotter.

Looks good but drop bars looks a bit extreme. Do you find they restrict the already limited monster steering lock? I had to adjust my own drops a lot before getting a good compromise between looks/comfort, and still manage to avoid loosing any lock. I found full-on drops too low for comfort on long rides. They put too much weight on my wrists - although they may be more bearable if used with rear set pegs.

[MonstaChicky]

Yes was considering rearsets...have only ridden him a short distance with the drops so far...they don't restrict the lock though...and I much prefer the riding position...if weather ok will be going out this weekend so will let you know!

Nicky

[MonstaChicky]

Have decided I'd never get my feet up on rearsets...at least not in my leathers...they're new and don't bend too well yet haha. Loving the drops though :o) and the screen makes a huge difference! Bellypan has arrived (thanks, George :) ) and going on this week I think. Will get piccies up when done.

Had a total mare of a ride today though...but that was my fault not the bike's!!! Spose we all have off days!

[scrapps]

Looks great.i like the style and look of your bars but i would not be able to ride it for long.
you pipes would look great with a bit of a clean up and a coat of heatproof (manifold) paint.
I gave mine a good clean up with brush and pianted them black,i have a small belly pan but the pipes still show,so it was a quick and cheap fix.(can't be arsed to polish them)

[paul33]

looking good its my cup of tea :)

[jimz750]

been a while on this thread but when you changed the bars did you have to do any other jiggery pokery or did it all slide in (don't be rude)

[utopia]

Nah, don't paint those stainless pipes, polish 'em. It only takes a quick attack with a strip of emery, then wet 'n dry, then solvol to get a half decent finish. Perfection takes longer, but isn't neccessary.

Careful when you top up the master cyls.

Anyone tried flat bars ?

[utopia]

Ah, spoke too soon...I see PhiLew has tried them.

[gary tompkins]

Paul33's previous reply was posted in July 2009 - 18 months ago

Also the original poster (MonstaChicky) sold her monster ages back

[big pete]

Those bars look great as well, id love to try a pair but dont know if this old back would take it.

[utopia]

Spoke too late then, in fact.:fou:

[slipper40]

the cans are great same as a new set that came with my little 600...

[Mick E]

Looking good :thumbsup: I fitted a belly pan to Dawns 620, i think it tidies up the bike a lot.
