7 years in business & my 8th custom Monster got it's first ride today. Pics & more details forthcoming, but here's the [drool] list:
'07 Monster S2R1100 (not a typo)
High compression pistons
Race cams
Nichols AL flywheel
HM1100 DP 2-into-1 exhaust
Custom AL subframe
Ohlins rear shock
Ohlins FG front forks (999R WSBK forks)
Brembo MonoBloc calipers
Brembo billet radial m/cyl's
Converted back to a steel tank
MotoGadget gauge
Marchesini Forged AL wheels shod w/Pilot Pures
And, of course, all the aesthetic and artful touches that make it a Flight Cycle...
I will be parading it around ABQ for a bit before it goes home to it's owner...
Wow.
[drool]
pics or it didn't happen
;)
[popcorn] [thumbsup]
it's really unfair to post this without the pictures Stew!
Busy today @ work, but I'll see what I can do.
There *will* be a full write-up in the General forum shortly though...
[beer] eciting can't wait to see it
Ta-Da!

it's so CLEAN. I like the 2:1 setup.. the original S2R setup blocked too much of the tire.
Very cool deöhlinized Öhlins 8)
If I get close to that bike, the belt covers are gone though :-\
Love your subframe!
[thumbsup] Finally! Congrats Stu! I'll do you a favor and post mine (One's I got when I snooped...)so all can drool... ;D

Awesome work Stu!
Love the oil cooler mount, did you move the temp sensor to the V head?
Slipper clutch?
What do you use to plug the oil sensor hole?
Cylinder head temp on vertical intake now.
Oil pressure sensor completely hidden. ;D
Oil temp sensor completely hidden. ;D
Standard clutch.
I used an exhaust system plug (M10x1.0) and a brass crush washer to plug the oil pressure hole.

I was under the impression that that STM clutch "cover" only fit over slippers since they are narrower

Thanks, need to do this on my project
I spaced out the STM cover to clear the Oberon pressure plate...
Hidden sensors? You'll have to wait until the write-up.
Thanks for the compliments!!
Ah, sure, some spacers would work. Can't wait for the other write-up on the sensors. Knocked it out of the park here again Stu, rivals the dirt track special from a while back or the SS2R from years ago.

Love your subframe!
Everyone loves Stew's subframe... [roll]
...but seriously: Beautiful Bike!!!!!!
pardon the language...but that bike is a make the beast with two backston of HAWT!!!
I saw it a few weeks ago at Scott's house and it is definately a beautiful piece of machinery. My favorite parts are the whole thing. :D I love the dark reddish accent on the tank, the front end is pretty sweet too. Couldn't really tell the forks were Ohlins except for the TiN coating. Nice touch :)
Nice work Stu!!
Shakedown cruise? :D

The phrase "elegant beauty" popped into my reptilian brain when I saw that first photo.
