Truckers Monster Rebuild

[Buckethead]

Am I allowed to ask what megaphone that is/where you got it?

And what sort of specific legal stuff are you talking about? I'm sure there's more than enough legal expertise floating around this board, just a matter of knowing what questions you need answered.

Loving the "rear" brake! Not that we have much of one on our Monsters, but how well does it work?

are those yamaha wheels? look really similar to the xj600 i have

[Drunken Monkey]

Dude, if you ever are going to sell this bike, I'd be interested. It's just so wrong. It's right.

If you like that bike, you should check out the dirtbag challenge

With the seat that low and rear slung, you'd be surprised how much more effective the rear brake is.  The front is still the primary stopping force, but I bet it's a little more powerful on trucks bike.  My mom's Harley is the same way.

Buckethead I built the megaphone from scratch.  The rear break is very powerful as long as there is no oil on the rotor. It locks up the rear wheel no problem. Front wheel is some sort of gsxr, rear is from my m900 monster.

I didn't really build this bike for the look. I built it to be fast through the tight mountain roads where you do not see triple digits. Forward controld for my messed up un bendable knee.

A little jack is ok since there is not much ducati progress as of late.

Wow.

Checking this thread for updates just became part of my daily routine. Hell, it might be my new homepage.

I'm really interested to see how you make out with the swingarm - I'm planning to have a similar one built using a unit pro-link setup for my old CB550.  I was very glad to find this thread and see that I'm not the only one thinking along those lines.

Most of the threads that start out great end this way.

[DucatiBastard]

Yeah, but this thread has had a few slow spots.  I'm optimistic Truck will pick back up again.  (Heres hoping its not another knee injury)
