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

Got any pics Dave

Good to hear you got it sorted Dave.
You missed out on some good dim sum though!

Kev,I have got a few pics, but I havent worked out how to post them, we dont have any web space to host them, has anybody got any suggestions and guidence for a computer numpty!
Chi, Sorry we missed out but i have managed to loose almost 1 stone in a month through cutting out beer, dim sum would have just added it back on. also annette managed to ride her bike again after her accident so all in all a very good weekend
