Hi, my name's Vincent and...
You've got a bad case of carbonitis! Good job of matching up the carbon parts, ot can be a cosmetic nightmare with different shades and weaves. |

I know, Yusaf. I did think about a Ducabike replacement: but wasn't sure about the carbon inlay (ironic I know!). I also looked at the CNC individual risers: 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? Last edited by Luddite; 01-07-2019 at 12:33 PM.. Reason: Escape from Photobucket |

Just a hacksaw and file and a drill. Wear a mask though You could use a dremel mind. It's not as hard as steel

+1 for the K&N oil filter. But you do have to put the spanner or socket onto the "nut" properly and hold it on. I have rounded one off very easily and also torn one right off the filter body... That's removing, not fitting.
Mostly they work very well, but don't tolerate any hamfistedness.

Mate, you've got it BAD! Looks really great though, well done.
So often you see people go too far or, just as bad, buy a bike and immediately list all the things up front that they're going to do to it, without a hope of knowing what actually 'goes' with what and invariably it ends up like a complete dog's dinner. You appear to have taken a more measured approach though and the results are obvious. It's super nice. Having said all that, deduct half a point for the raised badges, I rather hate those, but luckily we all don't like the same things, right?! Oh, and I think it would be a nice idea to post a couple of shots of the whole bike too, just to show off the sum of the parts... Last edited by Uncle Bob; 09-05-2017 at 11:39 AM.. |

No, I don't agree with raised badgers either, they are much better off left in the wild.

Thanks for the photo, Mart. That's much neater; good job, Albie. The button head screws finish it off nicely. I may well give that a try.
