Fransesco Baracca- what do you do with a broken Monster?

sweet and sour baby jesus, that's hot.

Well,  I haven't been posting as this goes along, but I'll cut to the chase:


Still have more rivets to add and forks to black-out and a few other little things. I rode it yesterday and AM sure I know the next bike I'm going to get a ticket on....

awesome man

well done.....very sharp

I like it, looks like something one would use for jousting after dining at the Round Table

What are you running for the rearsets? 

They look like SS or ST foot pegs and brackets?

Really nice work - hope to see it at the next GP shop ride

I haven't been checking this lately, sorry. Yes, the pegs are ST-4 as in the rear brake Master cylinder. If you look closely, you sill see where I had to fab a couple on little spacers to rotate the rear-set down/forward to clear the high-mounts. The latest pictures show the nearly finished Monsters (at this point) I've added rivets to the front cowl and the rear seat cowl. I still would like to paint some teeth on the lower engine cowl, but that is in the future. It has a pesky oil leak from one of the oil lines as it leaves the engine: I'll try a new crush washer and see if that helps. One item that has me scratching my head is how "bouncy" it is. Really, It can lift me off the seat on a decent sized bump. Sag is good, I guess it is compression and/or rebound damping?
When is the next GP shop ride, I'd like to join in (even if the Multi is the only thing running)

if the bump is so hard that you are launched out of your seat because the shock could compress, fiddle with compression. if it is so fast to expand after it contracts for the bump as to feel like a pogo stick, fiddle with rebound. 


looks like the distance between the right rearset peg and rear brake toe peg is very close, and very flat - might need to adjust it a bit for comfort, but that's just observations from looking at pictures.  might be comfortable for you or not what it appears from the pictures.

Spot on with the observation. It needs some adjusting AND some heat shields: I noticed my heel cooking after only 10 miles or so....

nicely executed   

love the theme, even the tank ding looks like it should be there...
