bit small isnt it? the pic of the bike that is!! 

What r the pipes Vossy? good to see you got rid of the awful udder!!  Like your dry clutch cover too! 

the pic size is what was inserted via flickr. Not sure how to change it.

My pipes are - marving mid pipe with Spark carbon cans. Sounds the goods too!

ahh the rumble of the Ducati  - I always say loud pipes save lives - and people know when I am around - a little too much sometimes

Adjustable forks? Tell us more.....

Brakes and shock upgraded too?

yep, upgraded the forks to as-new S4R forks (I still have to take those reflectors off!)...as you can imagine, it handles a lot better now and doesn't dive under brakes (the standard progressive under-sprung marzocchi's are fairly crap).  I put the S4R magura bars/triple/risers on it as well.  I also upgraded the brakes to 4 spot MTS with discs from a 1000 sport - all from ebay (didn't change the master cyl and it seems fine - lever feel/pull is great and I'd highly recommend it for anyone tired of the wooden/weak feel of the standard 2 pot brakes).

I haven't changed the shock yet - if a reasonably priced ohlins or penske comes up I'll definitely consider it...
A few of the other things changed were better gearing (14T and 1 or 2 less teeth on the back from memory), DID chain, oil cooler, rizoma grips...

Wow Vossy , Very nice!!!! 

Thanks Kaz.
As most monsters here, it's a" work in progress"

I'd love to do the tail chop, but here in Sth Aust the  boys are real hot on that sort of stuff. (maybe a shorty tail)

Answers my question on that - although I thought it was more the number plate position as opposed to the chop? 

I've got a couple of cop friends who tell me that it's more a fender eliminator thing, which would include chopping the beer tray off. They call it the 45 degree rule.
There has to be some fender/guard 45 degrees from the centre of the rear axle covering the rear wheel.
I got busted for this several years ago on my Gixxer. (bastards)
At the end of the day it would probably be a shame to remove the tray, because to me it is a "monster icon"

can they back this up with an ADR?? This is the thing that annoys me about some police when they try to book/defect vehicles.  I have challenge a couple (foolishly I know) and have had them back down - like when I was pulled over for no seatbelts in the back of my 66 Pontiac - sorry guys pre ADR!!

Sorry dont meant to threadjack - getting off topic! 

The issue is not with the frame chop, it is with the mud guard cover area.
