Fenella finally finished!

MerlinPV12 · 06-06-2015, 09:50 PM

Paint, seat and instrument fairing added to complete the project. Fenella now safely at TT after horrendous trip including a 4am force 7 sailing which left a number of bikes damaged, despite the Steam packets best efforts. Atmosphere on the Island is great despite the weather.

Been curious about late monsters and never too sure when they went fake tank
But that looks sweet!
Its raised my game when I rebuild my M900 (when I have to) to deal with flaking paint

Gorgeous. Hope I spot it during the week. We are here too.

Zimbo · 07-06-2015, 06:42 AM

That looks amazing, the best new style monster I've seen yet!

Dirty · 07-06-2015, 08:37 AM

That looks great.

Very sweet of you to put my name on the grips

alan s4 · 07-06-2015, 10:32 AM

Looks fantastic.

TT weather looks good for the rest of the week now - chance of a shower on Tuesday - other than that wall to wall sunshine........and 12 degrees!

MerlinPV12 · 07-06-2015, 11:06 AM

Thanks chaps, an Dirty, you were my motivation throughout so it was the least I could do!

Just been on the Simon Andrews legacy lap, so many bikes! great fun and perfect weather. Bring on the racing!

Albie I will PM my number so we can arrange to meet up

MrsC_772 · 07-06-2015, 11:11 AM

Ooh, I like that!

The Manx logo on the seat is a nice touch. I dread to think what all that custom carbon and paint cost, but it was worth it.

The word "stunning" does not do your bike justice Merlin, it has to be a contender if not the winner of Monster of the Year if there is such an award. Who did your rear shock?

Thanks very much..I have had huge fun "doing it up". Tony and Perry at HM Racing have done pretty much everything on the bike, Steve also chipped in on the Dyno. They have all looked after me really well. Snells fitted the NCR cover as they got it for me. Piers Dowel did the paint, trust me, the phone pics don't do it justice! Rather frustratingly on the way up from London to Liverpool my new rucksack has taken the paint off the seat hump, gutted! I had no idea it was rubbing :-(

I had the opportunity to try out (legally) the quick shifter on the mountain section this morning, baffles out nailing it from second up, what a sound!

This is what customising is all about for me. I absolutely love this one.

proper proper tasty..

ChrisC2925 · 13-07-2015, 04:24 PM

An absolute beauty, if ever you feel the need to part with it let me know!

13-07-2015, 06:54 PM

Stunning. Simply stunning.

That's gotta be the best looking Monster I've seen. Unique.

Couldn't begin to imagine what it cost, but as said earlier in the thread, worth it.

Enjoy owning it, people are certainly gonna enjoy looking at it.
