That's nice: a bit drastic for an oil change, but you've neatly sidestepped the problem of getting a match for the bronze paint.
You need to have a word with your powder coated though as they appear to have lost your footrest hangers? Ądn pǝʞɔnɟ I 'sᴉɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟI. ???

Didn't fancy upgrading to an alloy swing arm?

Looks like the powdercoater has coated the disc mount faces on the front wheel.
You may need to attend to that. I only have limited advice to offer there, but I was once told that acetone will soften powdercoat enough to scrape it away .. but there may be better methods to remove it. |

It's a dark edition, so I'm keeping the tank, mudguard and side panels the standard kind of satin black colour, and tried to match the hangers and swingarm to them. |

It's been a while, and due to a massive change in circumstances, I had to sell my beloved Monster last year...
However, I received a message last week saying that the person I sold it to, is looking to sell it on as he has too many projects and would I like first refusal.....ER....YES PLEASE!!! So I have her back, still in the rebuild phase but with the engine fitted. Carbs are peeing fuel out but that's minor. Currently painting all the crappy bits satin black to go with the yellow & black theme. Slowly slowly...but I'll get her back on the road!!! Last edited by Max724; 06-08-2018 at 02:08 PM.. Reason: Links didn’t work. |

Good to have you back with your Monster Max.
Looking good in Yellow and Black.. A very striking colour scheme. Hellcat from Ipswich has one in those colours, also a 600 I think, but it might be her M400?

Nice looking project, mine was originally an M600 dark with a red frame. Three engines later and it looks like this:

I've made this bike my own, hacked the back end for a tail tidy, removed the horrid green engine paint and cam belt panels and they are now satin black. My only failure was not to paint the centre of the front disc and both calipers, as they are that sickly bronze colour still. But hey...with the twin disc conversion left to do, I'm sure I can wangle something. Thanks for the love guys! I'm busy on it and will get photos on it as I get it sorted. P.S. If anyone knows the location of a 675 big bore kit, please let me know |
