S4R from across the pond...

Hi all - I'm new here, so I thought I'd post a pic of my Monster (yes, the motorcycle!). A (big) cosmetic improvement is coming along soon, but here are two pics of the bike in its present state:



Parts removed, wires and lines re-routed:

Wow! I love the cyclecat rearsets and that exhaust.
I can't wait to see the cosmetic improvements- I can't imagine there is much you can do to improve it ( except remove that radiator )

what's a radiator?? Summit to do with central heating??

Surely heated grips would be simpler if it's getting too cold for yers......

Nice bike, I'm not normally a fan of headlight fairings but your small curved fairing is really nice.
Do you have a pic of your bike from the other side? (yes I know with ss swingarm it's the not so pretty side :P)

Yes, all mine on both bikes (and another not listed).

I tour on the Bandit and its been all over the US.

Raleigh is the capitol of North Carolina - on the east coast of the US. I'm about 2 hrs. from the Atlantic coast, and 4 hrs. from some beautiful (and challenging) mountain roads.

Geoff?

"DucHead" sounds similar to a slang word that describes my sarcastic side.
