Nice one Mel, hoping to make my 600 into a track bike!! Already ridden round Cadwell Park on a Ducati 900 (Yellow with white fairiing). http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=.../0/CLFMKYts7dc Slow but sure round the hairpin!!!

If I could do it, you could! I really enjoyed it! I rode the bike from the paddock to the gate and back and that was it before going on the track! Go for it!! It's a great experience and will give you loads of confidence! I got passed by loads of other bikes but, I got round safely and as fast as I felt comfortable!

Maybe when I am back to normal next year...
Id love to take my Kat round as thats a mental little thing but the thought of wiping out my Yoshi stainless system.... specially when they don't make off the peg exhausts for him now!! ... eeeek..

Tempting.. I think I would if I had a second bike... but not on the Hector.. for he is a lazy old dog.. why he's named such....

Decals on ... raised ones.
I will add the bike looks different in full sun ... night .. no sun.. rain
He changes from Black to Rainbow to bright silver or purple depends on light /weather.

So I opted for the raised ones as simple and would go with whatever his paint changes to in the light.

08-03-2011, 11:26 AM

I would be interested to know how you lowered the Monster if you don't mind?

09-03-2011, 12:57 PM

Apart from being tempted at the mo to donk it with a sledgehammer or jump up and down in sheer frustration on the tank you mean?

When I brought it the seat was a little lower .. and it had a shorter hyperpro shock on it...
But the shock was as soggy as a very soggy thing and was saggy as was the wrong size / set up not nice.

It has had a shorter shock put on , forks through the yolks and set up a bit better at the back.

The seat has been shaved more..

The hoop is standard not been cut.
I had toyed with cutting the hoop down a bit but was advised not to as it is so low as it is.
The issue is ground clearance..

Ive already hit a speed bump (outside Parkingsons Ducati of all places

) and I have a pig of a place to get my bike out of.
There is a slope and a bump stone thing that I need to get shot of but not sure how...
Sledgehammer hmmm but knowing my run of luck at the mo il wack it and send a lump of stone through my neighbours Merc!

The plan was to see if I could try a stiffer shock and get set up at MCT without getting more lower to the ground.
It wouldn't be funny if I got home and got wedged up a hill ... well not to me

so that was the plan...
Big service and change of shock... heard MCT work wonders.

However bike has decided even with that big carrot dangling to be a ... and not play so the MCT budget has been blown on fixing parts.

So big service next then MCT ..
He is still a fraction too high for me !
