I just added close up pics of the bikini fairing and the rear seat cover to my original post.

Thank you!

like it!!

I have a couple magnetic tank bags for the 620. I'd like to use them on the 1100 too.

$1800?! Not bad!

Whoa, I never knew you upgraded to an 1100, you had the 620 for what... close to a decade right?

Hell, I wish I still had my first Monster 620 (or even my second).

Yup..bought a '10 in 2/10. Just rolled 13,000 on it two days ago. The 620 was bought in '03. She has nearly 80K!

I got them from the same website I bought my tauntaun sleeping bag.

That tank is s3xy!

Turns out the $1800 price tag is for non-ABS model tanks, which have already been designed/built before.

For ABS monsters, such as mine, they would have to design/build the tank one-off from scratch, so it would cost up to $3000

hmmm... $3000 is a lot of money
