I have to admit it turned out a lot better then I expected. Still not stoked on Gold with this bike but it what I had laying around. Additionally we raised the rear even more thanks to the SBK ride hight adjuster we installed a year ago. | I have to admit it turned out a lot better then I expected.

This bike started out as the newest and last model of Monster that still used the original styling for the monster. I hate the new models!
This bad larry was turned into and then had a little talk with a stone wall. DC bought her and I started to goto work on her.
Crashed out!
Ouch!!
Something is not right here!
Tank took a hit. Gave us a good reason to go back to the better ducati logo!
Nice rearsets there! And how can anyone leave a Ducati with a tail and pipes like that!
First Rebuild
Here she is after the first rebuild. Sil High pipes. Cut tail. Adjustable suspension link to allow for hight adjustment. Race Tires. De-Uglied from head to toe (removed all excessive covers and DOT Emissions)
Second rebuild
Right now this little bitch is getting a new adjustable front end, Bigger brakes, Floating rotors, Radial Masters, Wood Craft Clip-ons and a SBK fender.
I have a thing for the two line Ducati logo.
Second Rebuild complete
We finished up Dave's Monster tonight. She got new 1098 Master cylinders (HUGE IMPROVEMENT!), Woody Clipons along with new Bigger Brakes and frontend as stated earlier. Did I mention how cool Monsters look with the SBK front fender?
I have to admit it turned out a lot better then I expected. Still not stoked on Gold with this bike but it's what I had laying around. Additionally we raised the rear even more thanks to the SBK ride hight adjuster we installed a year ago.
It always shocks me how strange the monster looks without the standard bar but I like it. Really reminds me of the old Jap street racers of the 70's with the big dash and nothing else.
The Woodcraft clipons are excellent for this bike. Dave went with the semi rise and it payed off. Not to agressive while still being aggressive.
