THE MOVE

The Monster has been trailored to Dallas, TX where I now reside. As a welcome-to-your-new-home present, I have finally taken the time to put some parts that have been sitting around on the bike. Here's a current picture:



These include a Rizoma Clutch Cover and Pressure Plate, both provided by PJ's Parts. I can't say enough good things about the service from PJ's Parts - they run a top-notch outfit. Also in the mix are a set of aluminum shoulder bolts for the stock rearsets to fix the worn out looking zinc plated bolts.  I'm awaiting delivery of a set of titanium bolts to replace the clutch cover's bolts and some of the controls bolts as well. Here's the clutch side of the engine up close:

And an up-close detail image:
