BellissiMoto's Custom Ducati Monster S4RS

[BellissiMoto]

Hey Guys,

You may have just spotted the beginning of our ST4 custom build in another thread, but our Monster S4RS build is just as cool, and has progressed a little further so far.

You can see all the details, latest and greatest info, and pictures here - BellissiMoto - Exotic Parts for the Beautiful Italian in your life.

But of course I will try to keep this thread updated pretty frequently as well.


The bike in question started out as a nicely equipped S4RS:

Unfortunately the other side looked like this:

And the real damage quickly showed itself among deconstruction:

The crash damage included:

Rash on: front and rear fairings, front fender, rearsets, frame slider, mirrors, radiator guards, etc...

Along with Bent or Broken: Forks, Axle, Wheels, Frame (yes - one of the frame's steering stop tabs bent and cracked off).

And a few other things I'm sure we are forgetting.

For a short period we considered a quick fix option, and even added a few mods as we began to get her back ready for road action:

Then we got all crazy, said screw "fast" - lets do it "right!" and the tear down was completed.

Then the real fun began...

Marzocchi RAC 50's were ordered to pimp out the front end:



Here's a shot of their triples in the freshly repaired and re-painted frame:



We rattlecanned the rear shock link:

And the re-build has begun:

Here's our resident shop monkey (Lyle) with the new frame and swingarm installed.


The painted linkage installed:


And the Bitubo XXF31 rear shock installed:

Once we get a few more parts in we will start on the front end
