Hey, recently bought this bike from a member and love it! Have fitted the belly pan and painted the chrome headlight black and just ridden it a lot.

Here are some pictures:

I was looking at a couple of topics where people have done this, might give it a go.

Oooh lovely... nice pipes and all in my favourite colour too.

Welcome.

See? I can behave myself, despite severe provocation.

I did it to mine last week. I was sceptical but it works incredibly well and they look great.

This is the thread I did and how I did it http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=49549 and there is a couple of links in there to other threads/instructions

Finally done my belt covers in black, I was too cheap to buy dye so I just used spray paint that I already had in my garage. Happy with the finish and I didn't scratch the paint putting them back on.

Put some stickers on the belly pan too in an attempt to give it a sort of desmo challenge look ha, not sure if they will stay.

I'm having terrible thoughts of putting in a duel spark engine just because I would like that dry clutch rattle. Am I right in saying a 1000cc engine from the S2R 1000 or a later monster 1000 engine would bolt in without any frame modifications? What about the 1100DS?

Sounds good, those painted Chinese fairings are a bargain when you see the price of genuine panels or even regular fibreglass track stuff.

Monsters great, love the noise, how it looks and its got the right amount of power for me, not too fast so it's slows me down a bit
