It is ALIVE! My number 8... (now w/picture)

[Duck-Stew]

7 years in business & my 8th custom Monster got it's first ride today.  Pics & more details forthcoming, but here's the list:

'07 Monster S2R1100 (not a typo)
High compression pistons
Race cams
Nichols AL flywheel
HM1100 DP 2-into-1 exhaust
Custom AL subframe
Ohlins rear shock
Ohlins FG front forks (999R WSBK forks)
Brembo MonoBloc calipers
Brembo billet radial m/cyl's
Converted back to a steel tank
MotoGadget gauge
Marchesini Forged AL wheels shod w/Pilot Pures

And, of course, all the aesthetic and artful touches that make it a Flight Cycle...


I will be parading it around ABQ for a bit before it goes home to it's owner...

[herm]

it's really unfair to post this without the pictures Stew!

[Duck-Stew]

Busy today @ work, but I'll see what I can do.

There *will* be a full write-up in the General forum shortly though...

  eciting can't wait to see it

[Duck-Stew]

Ta-Da!

[ducatiz]

it's so CLEAN.  I like the 2:1 setup.. the original S2R setup blocked too much of the tire.

Very cool deöhlinized Öhlins 

If I get close to that bike, the belt covers are gone though

Love your subframe!

  Finally! Congrats Stu! I'll do you a favor and post mine (One's I got when I snooped...)so all can drool...

Awesome work Stu!
Love the oil cooler mount, did you move the temp sensor to the V head?
Slipper clutch?
What do you use to plug the oil sensor hole?

[Duck-Stew]

Cylinder head temp on vertical intake now.

Oil pressure sensor completely hidden.

Standard clutch.

I used an exhaust system plug (M10x1.0) and a brass crush washer to plug the oil pressure hole.

Tell me more!

I was under the impression that that STM clutch "cover" only fit over slippers since they are narrower

Thanks, need to do this on my project

[Duck-Stew]

I spaced out the STM cover to clear the Oberon pressure plate...

Hidden sensors?  You'll have to wait until the write-up.

Thanks for the compliments!!

[1KDS]

Ah, sure, some spacers would work.  Can't wait for the other write-up on the sensors.  Knocked it out of the park here again Stu, rivals the dirt track special from a while back or the SS2R from years ago.
