Local to you - but about 350 miles away from where I am unfortunately!

CG Coachworks in Horam (who did my green Monster bodywork too - they specialize in restoration bodywork on classic cars and stuff like that - first class! The logos are vinyl rather than painted, but that very nice thin vehicle graphic stuff... I got those done separately, but by the signwriter they use...

Hi Scott!

The swingarm is a Febur kit for the Monster (like a 916 arm, but designed to bolt straight-on without machining/welding - it also retains the original Monster wheelbase). The rear wheel is a 916 item, and everything is stripped and mirror polished, although it's getting a bit cloudy these days - I like to call it 'antique' x

There are a million other mods too (such as the exhaust, brakes, bars, instruments, indicators, rearsets, side-stand, and not least the TAIL CHOP!)...

Hope to see you all at the Monster weekend!

ps. this was it in an earlier incarnation:



and more recently:

Thanks for update Jen - do you mind me asking how much the paint set you back?

i think its still one of the nicest bikes on the forum, and it inspired my tail chop and mods to my old 600, with a little bit of help from Jen

I think it was £450 inc. vat (hark at me, I can't even remember an invoice like that!) for the whole lot including the belly pan and headlight cowl...

The graphics were extra...

Ah, I had to rummage around in the depths of my computer for that one...



Hmmmmmm, might be time to reinstate that too... or not.
