Yep, I've done it again.
I was always going to do it again, it just makes a Monster look amazing IMHO.
So step one is done, just need to fab some different indicator mounts as the ones in the kit hit on the cowl.
But basically she is ready now without tail.
Next is maybe a little pipe shortening just to bring things back into line.
then comes the next mod which I can't do but I will take part in by striping bits off it in prep.

Looking good Matty....... 8)
But not for me...... I'm a long tail fan, but each to their own...... ;D
Ahhhh Big T you just need to try it. Wasn't that the mantra of the 60/70's [cheeky] [cheeky]
09s Mantra......
"You can do it..........." In my best Arnie impersonation..... ;D
That's the way, I'll bring the hacksaw and you can go for a Chi-Latte...

Didn't you guys learn to use protection ???
On topic: I think this exhaust looks much more Monstery without the carbon end cap. Is it disposable? As always your photography is impressive[thumbsup]
Can't get rid of the end cap, you see there is a titanium sleeve inside.
Without the end cap it would look a little stuby and have no finish.
I will end up taking a couple of inches out of the other end just to even things up.
Ummm,
Is that a special licence plate cover doovy? With the web address on him?
Why am I asking anyway?

born to ride....born to mod! [thumbsup]
Good stuff Matty, it'll look great after the pipe's been chopped too [thumbsup]
How are your mirrors going? Does the bike fit down the hallway? [laugh]

It's just a sticker, someone we know has a vinyl cutter... Easy for a one off, not so easy for a production run (slow and painful!)
it's a specially made sticker cut before we went on the WSBK trip.
what can I say I love mod's I think that why I have a Monster, there is just so much you can do.
It just fits down to it's hiding spot Dave, still have to twist the mirrors in to do so but I can live with that.

I like the way the akrapovic looks, would love to hear how it sounds. Any chance you could post a video?
