OK, since my last mod post I’ve continued my binge:
1)  painted rear caliper bracket black
2)  black vinyl sticker on eccentric hub (TapeWorks) [roll]
3)  painted inside of fairing black
4)  Spiegler brake clutch lines (spieglerusa.com; smoke lines with gold fittings, except black fitting at clutch slave)
5)  re-routed brake and clutch lines behind gauge cluster
6)  re-routed front brake line (single line from MC to right caliper and line from right to left caliper)
7)  lowered gauges and headlight
8)  homemade Al dash (better version in the works)
9)  new side-outlet Rizoma reservoirs (pjsparts.com; old ones for sale)
10)  powder-coated kickstand satin black
11)  red rimstripes (TapeWorks; if ya don’t like ‘em, blame duc996 ;) )
12)  frame end “skull” stickers (TapeWorks) [roll]
13)  Ducati “D” sticker on dash (TapeWorks; yeah, I know it’s not centered)
14)  Tygon/re-routed tank breather hose
15)  re-routed wiring/connectors on right side

Keep it up pompetta.  [thumbsup] You beat me to the punch on the kickstand.  I was just thinking about doing that and hadn't noticed anybody else doing it until just now.  Bastig  [laugh]

Dave i thought about using one brake line down to the right caliper and then a short line across the front fender to the left caliper so as to get rid of the T piece that lurks behind the head light which i find gets in the way when you install rizoma bars. Did you had any problems when you where bleeding the brakes  ???

I use the oft-maligned Mity-Vac, so instead of 3 minutes to bleed the brakes, it took 4.   ;)

If I was stuck in the snow, I'd probably spend all my time modding my Monster too... Gotta love California always  [moto]

As far as the BOMB feature goes:  ANY bike owned by ANY passionate DMF'er is fair-game.

Write up a reasonably descriptive narrative about you and the bike and what you have done to it (might want to break that into chapters! LOL) and send it to darylbowden or squeak.

That's it.

And BTW...that bike is very, very nicely modded and super clean and drool-worthy and just plain sick and ... and ... and...   [thumbsup] [thumbsup]  [moto]
