Have I created a Monster? (lots of pics!)

12-11-2010, 11:01 PM

I picked up my new headlight and belly pan from the painters yesterday, so I though I would show you guys a few picture

I quickly fitted them to my bike this evening and took a few photo's. The bike still needs some work before I can ride it like this! Head light needs to be wired, also planning of fitting a flexible white LED's rounds the lights as side lights. As well as brackets need to be slightly modified.

The belly pan brackets need to be made up in aluminium too. All the brackets will be mounted via grommets for vibration.

So here are the pics..........................

Looks gorgeous!!!

What exhaust system and cans have you got fitted?

13-11-2010, 08:29 PM

Tidy bike Panther, those pipes really do look LOUD! I'm lovin the wheels and swingarm - did you do the conversion yourself? Is that a DP gel seat? I've got one of those & they are really comfy, looking good mate.

13-11-2010, 10:49 PM

Yes the seat is DP gel seat, and would recommend one if you can get your hands on one. (not sure home much improvement this is for a pillion)

Yes the exhausts are loud, a little to loud TBH, epically as there are no baffles (The guy who made the exhausts forgot to make a removable pair) But it does sound lovely when I start it up, but any more than 10 mins riding you need ear plugs.

At the minute I am seeing slight clearance issues with the exhausts because the pipe that goes under the chain was not tight enough. It really need to be rebent or at least have a guide rail on top of them. This is only a problem when you give it full beam as the lower side of the chain goes slack.

Info on my exhausts is here

Mark yes I changed over the swingarm to an s*r. It would have been cheaper to sell my bike and buy an s2r but I liked the senna paint scheme to much

Thanks all for the nice comments. Unfortunately I'm going to have to live with looking at my bike as a desktop picture, as on Tuesday I will be out the country at work until Christmas.
