Looks nice - pity it wasn't at Arrow Mill

Very nice I always wondered where you could fit an NOS bottle on a Monster...guess this has answered it! Looks a little bit exposed, have you added any kind of crash protection under there?

The bike was built as a one off for Streetfighters Mag and I have had her restored (more work still needed)

Wouldn't save it - shorter than bottle by look of it

Needs some kind of cage

Nice - what was the inspiration or reason for the paint job - I can't see the link..Streetfighters + Monster = Raspberries - maybe I'm just not arty enough

Either way, cracking bike though and very nice resto job so far

Don't think they're meant to be raspberries, although it's the first thing I saw Looks to me like it's meant to be a white tank that's had holes burned in it to show what's underneath. Which happens to have a raspberry-ish texture! And the strips of red/white/green are obviously bits of italian flag
