Post by: djomlas on September 24, 2008, 10:25:47 AM
to go with all the gold pieces on the bike, i put on a yellow bagster, matches good with the piping on the corbin
but then again it may be up for sale hehe

Definitely NAY!  But then again I'm majorly biased against those leather tank covers....I vote for no cover.

Usually not a fan of the covers, but I think it looks ok, and even better with the patches. YAY  [thumbsup]

Why would anyone cover up their tank with one of those weird strap-on tank covers. Black ones are bad enough, but screaming yellow? I liked your bike with the little bit of gold here and there that you already had on it. A yellow tank cover would be overaccessorizing it. It's a black bike fundamentally, with gold accents. If you want a yellow bike, paint it yellow. You do take good photos though.

You should turn this into a poll and get votes...just exclude the "boobies" option.

I think it's looking sharp. I prefer the "d" logo over the other [thumbsup]

I like and think it looks good and it ties in nicely with the piping on your seat.  This coming from someone who has a yellow S4 may not mean alot, but I  am going to paint my tank and lose the yellow--so I am not a huge yellow fan.  It all depends on the bike and what color every thing else is.

Oh and I like the first logo:)

I'm not a fan of the yellow, but I think it looks OK with the first patch (The eagle)

I'm not so sure yet I dig the cover, but I'm all gung ho for the yellow.  When I first looked at the pic (my internet is crawling tonight so my connection is draggin) all I could see was the top/side of the tank before the rest of the pic loaded and I thought the seams made a great pattern in the tank.  Much better than the stock lines anyway.....

Keep up the good work and don't get rid of that yellow!

Wasn't sure when I first saw it, but if you put one of those symbols on it, I dig it!  Love the yellow and the cover definitely makes it your own!!  Some stuff's just a matter of personal preference, so you love it- keep it!!  Believe me, we've all seen things done to monsters that were just plain wrong and this, to me, is NOT one of them!

its original! ... its growing on me; why not; its like you could have 2 different colored bikes, or more ( well today I'm in a blue mood or whatever ... folresent green)  ... I think you have something there, custom colour tank bags ... asides for the S&M refrence (wonder where they've been surfin ...)

I sometimes ride with a black Bagster... I like the look, I think the yellow looks surprisingly good on your bike, I also like the look of the header wrap.

I look at it this way, using the bagster is like throwing on a hat, you can take it off easy enough and get a totally different look with it. For me, when I get bored with the look of my bike I throw it on for a few days, and of course when I need my bag it's just so handy to clip it right on there.

I say it looks good, we all style our bikes differently and that's what makes us individuals. the great thing about a Monster is that with the selection of aftermarket parts you can really treat this bike like a blank canvas, yours looks different than anything on this board but still looks tasteful, in that sense I think it's good. I see too many Monsters here that all look similar despite the fact they are modded, keep doing your own thing!  [wine]

here's mine with it before I got my new pipes...
