I love reading and listening to everyone talk about what they have done to make their monster their own!

I'll start with saying I love the way that my bike looks now with the tail chop, integrated tail light, and boom tubes (thanks to Mark!). It looks super clean compared to when I got it, also with the EVR clutch set up I have on it now.

I like the black swingarm 

It's been raining ever since I installed a 749s shock, resprung and revalved both ends and put  Michelin Pures on but I suspect the whole package will be my fave for a long time.

As far as "bling" goes, my favorite is the 1" white paint marks I put on my open belts. I could watch this thing idle for hours. It's better than TV. Hell, it's even better than getting hypnotized by watching my clothes spin in the dryer! 

The entire front end. 999 forks with Tin coating, Speedymoto SBK tripes, 848 masters with goldline brake calipers and woodcraft clip-ons.  The bike has a much more aggressive look with the rake, brakes are greatly improved with the brembo's and galfer rotors, handling is spot on with new forks dialed in and 848 masters and the triple from Speedymoto is just sex...

Thanks! Usually no one really notices the black swingarm but I do agree it gives a very nice subtle touch. I feel ya with the rain.. Seattle hasn't been giving me the best lately.. My favorite is waking up to rain going sideways... then 60 and sunny by noon, followed by hail and some snow in the afternoon..

I'd like to powdercoat mine in red to match the tank and frame but the possibility/probability of a color mismatch puts me off. I don't think paint would hold up well in that location. I got matching paint & primer from ColorRite and I'm going to paint my instrument pod red as soon as the weather gets nice.

Favorite mod?  Where to start.  Tinkering on the bike is my therapy.  I think favorite would be my bicycle bell. 



People wont hear the pipes or the open clutch but they will hear the make the beast with two backsin bell.

Almost everything I've done to mine was to loose weight but my favorite thing I've done to mine, OZ Racing wheels!!!!!  I'd love to get boom tubes also because they would shift weight lower on the bike but I just can't get over the fact you loose some HP.

I really don't have any porn pics of the bike right now but my favorite mods are suspension 1st. 748 front end & 749/999 rear with Ohlins spring and my funky headlight which I've been needing to paint.

Spring has been changed as well as the chain long ago 

the hand built single sided swingarm!

I think the key to a good looking monster is to always clean up the rear end.  There are some monsters around here that would be legendary if they just chopped the tail and changed out the exhaust.  Here is mine!

Not too much done, just what was necessary to clean it up.  Tail chop, new blinkers, Termi Shorty, Clipons.

I like the paint job! 

My Fav...
would have to be the whole rear end project

-complete tail chop[
-relocation of license & signals
-2-1 DP exhaust w/ Yoshimura R55 can
-20mm rear risers
-seat shave and recover

What kind of sound do you get with the Yoshi system? Just curious..

It is actually a little quieter than my stock cans that had been
cut down to 10"
Still has the Ducati throaty sound
And growel under engine decel

My favorite mod would have to be just the tail chop
