After a year in pieces, my bike is finally back together, and is now sporting pod filters, a lipo battery, a cleaned up harness, risoma mirrors, a flashed chip, and oodles of boring maintenance items. She fired up on the first try, and runs amazing. Every step of the way you all were here to answer my questions and give pointers. I couldn't have done it without you, so thanks and happy Saturday. chug

THAT is great  Cool I've had that feeling a couple of times and wouldn't have been within a tenth of close to even trying these jobs without the DMF education  bow down

Been there, done that. And, have seen so many people just giving up the project. (Lost interest, life gets in the way, etc, etc).

Yeah, you know life is getting in the way when it takes over a year to do a few weeks worth of work. But that's just how it goes. I keep trying to convince myself and my SO how much time and money would be saved if I had a second bike to use while the first is down for mods/maintenance.

Let me know how that goes. I tried to suggest to Mrs A that if I had a project 748 rebuild then my lovely Monster wouldn’t be in bits so much. Fortunately she’s on four night shifts now,at least the dog is still talking to me

+1 again; or it didn't happen..lol  Grin


...fyi ... took me 8 yrs; bent, broaken cases replaced in pieces in the garage for 8 yrs (wife new enough not to go in there but thieves despite going through and mixing up parts didn't steal any bike parts but got 1k worth of tools ...); ... with help here, and other places; with lots of research it was on the road in 2018 beautiful piece of machinery to ride; mechanically better than new now. s2r 1K dual spark; café-ed racerized; like all my monsters.

so congrats! I know how it goes ...ride on waytogo
