Bit of an update on my 620 =)

A big DOH! as i've put 520 on the title haha (just changed that - Ped)

Hey folks.
Not sure you'll remember me, but i posted afew progress pics up of my Monster 620 afew month back.
Basically it was a CatD when i bought it. It had been repaired but not much love had been put into it. Then it had obviously been used as an everyday commuting tool and had sadly got into abit of a state.
Anyway, after getting into my hands, me and my dad have given the bike the tlc it deserves and are slowly getting it how it should be.

Some pictures of how it was when i first got it:

And how she stands today

:

Lots more plans yet. I'll keep you all updated

Yes, cans are 80mm shorter than standard and de-baffled. I took them off tonight and prepped them. My dad is in the process of painting them black now

I bet it sounds sweet!

TBH, i've never managed to find out what car it is. That the only picture i've found of it. But it's purely stunning! Perfect stance! Shame you cant pull of that sort of stance with a Saxo

lol.

And the bike is already repaying me, thanks. I really do see why people said that a Monster would be an ideal first bike. They're so much fun!

Didn,t think I was going to like the black cans, but yeah, they are OK.

Cheers matey. The rim tape and cans have transformed the look of the bike imo. Extremely happy with it. Now to get my dinner and go ride lol.
