hey guys, new to the forum but funny enough I found my first monster here about 7 years ago and that one bike started a bit of an obsession.
2002 M750


then I bought a 1198S, a few other monsters, a 998 etc etc

here are a couple of my current monster projects:

this one started as a M620




We took the bike apart, did the valves and belts, powdercoated a bunch of parts






we took a set of sport classic wheels apart and powdercoated them







and the final product



the garage at that point

After finishing the bike I took it for a ride, and holly crap the 620 is slow!! then right after that the bike started running on one cylinder Sad


 so I figured screw it.. lets swap a 800 engine I had for another project




When I started working on the swap I bought a hypermotard and kind of put the monster on the side; but I am fortunate to have friends with some sweet monsters that I can ride around when I want to




but I will be resuming the monster as we are also building a cool s2r and this SS

You've been busy waytogo how difficult was the wheel swap?
I guess the 620 should feel slow after some of the bikes you ride. Be great to see how the 800 transplant goes. An 1100Evo motor has quite vivid performance and holds it own against the super bikes everywhere except the track main straight where 100hp is lacking nowdays.
That Supersport looks interesting.

thank you, the wheel swap was not difficult at all once you have all the parts but it took me a bit of trial and error though it helps having a sport classic in the garage to cross reference the parts


the white frame is beautiful, it has a pearl effect to it that cant be translated in pics

this is a 750 frame with the rest being  s2r 800 parts that we have been collecting

new updates

this weekend was a great success

got some more stuff done on the s2r, got the tires on but unfortunately we received the wrong bearings and a few little parts didnt come back from powder coating so we could not get it on it's own 2 wheels



my Friend and garage partner got working on his 1098 which was sitting for a while after he lowsided at the tack last year



but the good news is that the M800 and the sport classic are back on the road!!



the sport classic is still a project and it needs a lot but I am glad I can ride it



and I was even able to take this thing out for a few hours
