It was completely insane!! Blasting across the Bayside and Skyway Bridges
That Moto would be great for the exercise regime , probably kill me off too quick .... too much fun !!
Now ..... Monsta , say it isn't so !!!! Oh well bro , you have fessed up now , so clean slate , lets get that beast refreshed with vitamins and ride ready again !! Sure is my favorite Monsta in the whole damn world , when I first laid eyes on it , I was freakin , like I couldn't type quick enough how much it excited me reptile brain stem !! That bike is something special !!

Thanks bro , coming from you , that means a lot . I got a couple of orders I'm waiting on from the States , which once fitted up , should get it to a good ride point . I'll keep you posted !!

I humbly appreciate your passion about the Monsta. It really is some machine to pilot..Hard to put into words the combination of power and control.
My first order of business before even starting the bike is to replace the fuel system.... lines, filter, send all injectors out to be cleaned and flowed etc. The thing is when I do this it’s inevitable that I will do a few more upgrades in the process because I have never been able to just do the bare minimum with anything I touch, it’s a sickness or maybe mental illness in my case.
Well , there are more than a few who share that same enthusiasm about your beast , and we would love to see you bring Monsta back up to speed .
As for the sickness to never leave well enough alone ..... crap really , is that the time !! Hahahah
PS. Gotta say bro , you have it badder than most !!

Arch you 100% on OE suspension; it is fine if 175 or less. 190-210 on a push, dialed up with positive thoughts. Now above that 230 pound mark fairly useless the springs/forks are 2/3rds of the way compressed as soon as one sits on the bike. Just for kicks add in a bad fork seal & things get real interesting real quick. Out back cranking down that spring has it's limits & too much with a rise in road with some speed will try to catapult you or in my case resulted in an endo which I don't do & haven't done since; doing a hand stand at speed with all your weight unexpectedly on the palms is not cool !!!

Not MAD at you for either bike. Busa was $ well spent nothing wasted just by looking at the parts selected; the other is pure show off fun.
Well I've been messing around with the 14R a bit of late . The Ohlins forks are now all set up ready to be fitted . The exhaust , PC5 etc. has arrived so , that is now also ready . I scored a factory manual , so I could remove the fairings easily and do any other jobs on it .
Got new oil ready and filter , I have started an in depth clean on it , then I will change the oil and filter , and fit the exhaust , power commander , clutch kit . The BST's due this week , so I am looking forward to their arrival .

Wish I lived closer, that’d be a lot of fun to help out. I’m having a shop do my fork seals and the cost for them to install new rotors and pads and a tire while the forks are off is low enough that there’re also doing that.
Woooooooo! My heart just skipped a beat. Awesome stuff Bro!
Say Arch, did you see MM’s new left side rear brake lever? A full lever, not just a thumb brake, just below the clutch.
I just got lunch for my family so sorry for this disjointed posting . Well I sure needed that manual to remove the bodywork , a little bit tricky , but got to say compared to the Gen 2 , I would have to say a little easier . I have exposed the ram air tubing , and that is a true sealed system , unlike the Busa . I still have the headers on while I am cleaning , but they come off next . The huge mufflers , I just weighed them and got 7.28kg + 7.15kg for the two . They are pretty heavy , and will weigh my ti pipe when I go to fit it .

Be good to have you around for some help Wuzza , sometimes you need two people to get it done easier . Then we could go test it out , see how it goes and sounds , maybe a roll on race or two against the L2 . I should be okay though , I think the tank will be a little tricky , but going to know this bike a lot better after this install . Man , I'm having a lot of fun with both my Hypers .
Might be a good time to have the body work clear coated a few times while they’re off. I wish I’d had the nose and front fender coated when I got mine in 06. The leading edges of the side pieces also take a beating.
Yeah , would be the best time to , but to find someone able to do a good job quickly is another thing that would be difficult , especially this late in year . I see where the solo seat and tail section is being scuffed and worn like @c10 warned me . I got some leading edge fairing wear on the L2 as well , a lot of it is insects , but then you find a chip or two from rocks etc. One day , the L2 will need a custom paint job , as well as the 14R , but it will keep for now .
I took the tank of my 79 CBX to an auto paint shop and they sprayed a few coats over it in a couple days. Told me it was a treat not having to mask an entire car for a change. Can’t recall the price but it was very affordable.
