I like it!  I think it would look a lot better if you made the forks black somehow and put in a silver or black pressure plate, the gold clashes a little.

I think your bike looks fantasic! I see lots of $$$$$ and mods, nicely done.
And that red frame against the black  is the .

if I were to change anything it would be:
1. Chop the cans
2. Replace pressure plate with a red one
3. Maybe black out the forks.

BIG THUMB UP! 

Although I like the bike the way you have it, a little less yellow/gold would be less "distracting".  But it's fantastic the way it is.  You don't see a black on red S4R everyday.

Forget all the above jazz.

Keep it as is.

Seriously

It's a great balance.

Haven't you been pulled over for that license plate yet? It's sticking straight out

an a fun comparison........

What kind of exhaust is that in pic 6.  and can it be put on a 696, 2011.

Thanks for the input, the gold pressure plate an the red fixie chain was on it when I bought it, I'm not a super fan of either..... So if someone wants to trade a dp gold pp for a black one??? please don't make me rattle can it 

yes, I would love to do the forks black, especially the axel / caliper mounts, just not sure how I want to go about it. suggestions??

black vinyl, soapy water and a heat gun until you need to replace your fork oil.

then take them completely apart. anodize the fork tubes black and powdercoat the lowers black. send out the pressure plate at the same time for either anodize or PC.

you could also do the tail chop bracket,headlight ring, case covers, bars, rear spring (one thats suited to your weight) and re-do any of the faded anodizing at the same time... if you felt like it

bikes looking good, nice and clean.

is that only for the 796 and 1100 monsters?

Bike looks great!

Red anodized pressure plates just don't hold up to the red frame.  The gold is nice with the Ohlins forks.  Leave it unless you do the forks different.

Looks great.

No

would this work on a 2011 Monster 696?
