I love what you've done to yours, Merlin, always an inspiration!
Out of curiosity, bearing in mind your weight-saving exercise, what springs did Maxton fit in your forks? |

12st 5lb (ish) rider GP 30 cartridge - first springs were 10, just a tad firm for me so they are 9.5 now

I guess, if you're not chasing ultimate lap times, so much depends on personal preferences. |

A nice bit of gold bling!
An Öhlins DU432 originally made for the Asian market. As with the DU737 it replaced, I've changed the spring from 115N/mm to 105N/mm. More details here: http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...d.php?p=560268 |

After this latest bout of spending, I had thought seriously about editing the first post on this thread to remove my statement "I think I've finally stopped buying things for my Monster" as it is patently untrue! But then I thought I'd leave it as a warning to any new owners of the highly addictive nature of Monster modifying! BEWARE! IT NEVER ENDS!
Here's the latest... Spot the Difference! More details here: http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...643#post563643 |

wowser Lud , that's clean as clean , love the front mudguard , I was guna ask where you got that but you had it custom painted as well ? how many miles on that looks like new ! might go for the smoked front screen that's nice as well, so what's the benefit of the 1100s flywheel ? torque engine breaking ?

Well spotted, Mr Gazza! Actually, they've been resprayed too!
No chance! Been there with my S2R - too much like hard work. Quote:
I don't get to ride it as much as I'd like so it's only done 9,000 miles. I don't know if you've ridden an Evo, but low speed town work feels much rougher than your S. Part of that is down to the restrictive emissions stuff, but I think most of it is down to the lighter flywheel. The heavier S flywheel helps to smooth out the low-speed power pulses and gives the chain an easier time too as you notice a lot less chain slap. Also, engine braking is a lot less fierce if you shut off suddenly. In theory, it will blunt the acceleration a little but, as I'm running lower gearing than standard, I've not noticed any loss of oomph.

I just tried that link I posted earlier in this thread (#8) and it doesn't appear to work anymore. However, a quick check on eBay throws up this,
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Windshiel...o/143192437128 which I think is the same one I bought and from the same supplier. Still only £10 with free postage. They also do black, chrome, iridium and others to suit all tastes. |
