The bike also sports reverse, or GP shift pattern using a Motowheels reverse shifter in a champagne color. Due to the Monster's rearsets being set quite forward, the elliptical adjustment of the shifter is completely forward, and the unit works well. The shift pattern is much easier to use when riding the bike hard, and it did not take long to have "up is down" ingrained in memory.
Comfort has also been increased with the addition of a Sargent Seat - long rides are not an issue at all anymore, and the bike swallows 100-150 miles with out a batted eye.
Future plans to upgrade the suspension now lean towards Penske and the 8983 (provided by Traxxion), with several bells and whistles. The fork treatment is still up in the air, but the ultimate goal may be the Traxxion AK-20 cartridges.
