New Toy New Toy New Toy New Toy

At long last my new toy.
It originally lived in Leiston, Suffolk. If anyone knows a Caroline Denny over that way tell her the monster says hi!. Then migrated north to County Durham way.

OK it's yellow, I'm not totally sure about that but theres not much to have repainted. I'll live with it for a while and see if it grows on me.

I was worried with standard pipes it would sound a little fart in a bucket but

we have cored pipes.

Seems to run nicely but saturday I'll go over it, balance carbs, stick on new belts etc.

Feels soooooooo nice after the FZR

Sweeeet

I've never heard a stock can on a Monster

Looks sweet clean and tidy one. It looks fine in yellow too.

Nickj · 12-08-2009, 07:29 PM

Oh yes very very clean, some little scuffs but nothing much for a 9 year old bike.
One great appeal was no complex electronics and a simple reliable mechanical speedo

The bars I'm defintely dubious about, I may be visiting my local bits and pieces emporium and getting some renthals.
Now I just need one of those fancy parts with the LED bar tacho built in or maybe some mini clocks.

OMG its started already.. modmania

BTW anyone want the shield on it? It's one of those Fabbri things, it's being oiked off at the weekend and ohhhhh some carbons going on

Albie · 12-08-2009, 07:32 PM

i loves carbon too. want much more. hope you enjoy it.

LOL Its a bit of a disappointment, you fire up the beast and it lets out a sad asthmatic cough

They need a bit of snarl

Nice bin, Nick!

If you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, check out this thread on Ducatisti. You need to be a member to see all those pics of the gorgeous bins.

Oh, and the bike's not too bad either.

There's so much iron ore in the water around here that it's slow leech into the environment makes not the slightest diference!

It's also been a very handy staging post for cans of old oil destined for the recycling gloop tank. I seem to be changing the oil on something every other week these days

That hedge needs cutting and your dog needs some new toys too!

next years will feature upside down plated matos. You literally plant them upside down though the base of the basket. Put something decorative in the top as normal
