The bike is a 2000 MY Monster 750. It started off life as a red bike but the color change was necessary (that will be cleared up in a bit). My girlfriend loved to go for bike rides but she is a TERRIBLE passenger...so I suprised her with a Monster.

She is short and even after I lowered the bike as far as I could it was still too tall, so had the seat dished out and recontoured by a local auto interior shop. He had to do a custom seat cover for it as well.

This helped but still not enough, now the footpegs were digging into the back of her calves...so a call to Alex Ortner was in order. He machined out the rearsets that are on the bike now, and with them properly adjusted for her she could not only be flat footed at a light, but was more comfortable when riding....but the bike had no suspension travel in the rear so Alex cut the hoop between the swingarm and rocker, took 3/8" out and made a new threaded insert for it.

All of this helped but now the seat/rearset assembly was trying to force her body forward, and the bars were trying to hold her upright so Alex installed a set of 916 clipons and that was the finishing touch..she loves it and says it feels more stable now (more weight over the front tire)....now as for the paint. We took a group ride to Frankenmouth Michigan and went to dinner. A lady walked in and asked if those were our bikes...and that they had fallen over.
