Only had a Monster?

Ha ha! Thanks for posting that Darren, it's the funniest thing I've seen for a long while.

He's painted the engine.... and the oil pressure switch... and the starter motor...and the oil filter and all the cables... Have paint. Aim. Fire. Ha ha!

The rubber gaiters on the non-moving part of the fork leg, leaving the stanchion exposed is a good one, I couldn't have thought that one up.

The wrong seat radius to the tank almost seems okay in comparison.

Is this Barry Chuckle's old bike?

Touch of genius...

This one nearly as bad, not quite, but really?

Looks like he got a pipe fitter to make the exhaust

Mr Gazza · 12-06-2020, 06:31 PM

It looks as if it's made with standard mandrel bends from Everyexhaustpart?
I've considered this myself, but it looks like they've just been used as they come and not trimmed to get the desired angle. Hats off to who ever did it, for having a go, but points deducted for not throwing it in the bin. Not sure I could do very much better. Which is why I haven't!
The giggly exhaust apart, it's saveable, but not for three grand!!

Darren69 · 12-06-2020, 06:34 PM

No, not for 3k that's just stupid, you can get a proper nice one for that!

Darren69 · 12-06-2020, 06:56 PM

Oh, did you see that hideous bright luminous green and orange one for 3.5K? I'll have to post that one in the 'What not Monster to buy category' thread. Just beyond horrible.

Darren69 · 12-06-2020, 07:02 PM

Sorry, But just why you would paint anything in those colours is beyond me, but maybe I have too conservative tastes? No bids, no surprise then!

Well done Witchfinder Darren, you have a nose for them!

It almost didn't make me feel nauseous, but the yokes, fork bottoms and footrest hangers are a Green and Orange step too far! Swinging arm and hoop too...

Darren69 · 12-06-2020, 09:05 PM

Witchfinder, lol! Lets seek out those evil bike shed Ducati and see if they float? Personally I hope they sink!

Darren69 · 12-06-2020, 09:07 PM

Where on hell's earth do you even get orange anodized studded footpegs?

I'm sorry to say, (because I really rate the company!), they're from Oberon. I think we can blame KTM owners for their existence.

Just don't hit a bump when your mudguard is fitted solidly to the fork leg while the stanchion is able to move up the way!!!!
