You've got a good eye, BRD. It shows up even more now it's surrounded by shiny bits. Like Albie, I did think about trying to make a carbon replacement but never got around to it. I did make a replacement front reservoir bracket from brushed aluminium so will have a go a making one for the rear too.

I know, Yusaf. I did think about a Ducabike replacement:

but then I'd probably want to match them up with some LSL bars - where does it end?!

Noted, Darkness. I did consider it for all of 30 seconds. EVR used to make gorgeous carbon airboxes for Hypermotards and Streetfighters amongst others. I never saw one for the Monsters though. Probably just as well since they were going for over £1,000!

Sadly true. Do you have the phone number of Carboholics Anonymous?
