Finally rode my monster

spent saturday and sunday making (ugly but strong) exhaust mounting brackets and seat mounts for my monster, bled the brakes and clutch, set seat hieght etc with expanding foam, and finaly rode it sunday pm.
first impesions are that the footpegs are a little high and I may have to rethink using clip ons as with standard bars the bar position was not that high . the engine pulls surprisingly stongly and the bike is so light compared to the 988 series

Dave,

Hit the "post reply" button at the bottom of the thread - not the "quick reply" box, but the one on the bottom right of the very last post in the thread.

This takes you to the reply page, which has an "attachment" box at the bottom of the reply form. Hit the "Browse..." button and this will bring up a file selector window. Pick the image you want to upload and hit Ok. You should now see the name of the file in the attachment box. Click "Post Reply" and it will upload that image into your reply.
