| This
month's featured bike - Troy Woodard's "BostroMostro" |
 |
|
Here's
my 1999 M900. I believe it is an "S" as
it had clipons on it. I bought it salvaged with no wheel,
no footpeg hangers, no shift levers, broken rear light,
tailpiece, bent back wheel and 4500 miles.
|
I put
a superbike wheel on the front, got all the pieces
and Voila I had it at DRA. It was red with a cut superbike
fairing with the carbon fill piece where the lights go,
and fog lights behind showing only through a 1 1/2" hole
in the carbon piece, and a white corse stripe.

My
brother wrecked the bike again only 3 months later, while
visiting. It dented the tank, broke the fairing and some
scratches. My friends all said, "Wow, you don't even seem
pissed".
I
had seen the Bostrom Superbike replica at DRA and thought
it oughta be a monster. I thought "IL BostroMostro" as
a theme was a natural! |
| It
has the wheels, frame, footpegs and hangers, and other
small bits powdercoated candy sparkle blue. The paint was
done by a local guy who had no idea what the real Bostrom
was so I spent a lot of hours laying out the lines and
patterns. I got the paint back the Sunday before Superbike
weekend at Laguna Seca in 2002. It won best monster at
Ducati Island in 2002. I had Ben Bostrom sign the tank
at Laguna Seca, and it looks exactly like the Superbike
signatures. It has "IL BostroMostro 001/001 " engraved
on the handlebar clamp. I added Marchesini wheels since
as well as the side flames and some other decals. It has
41mm FCR's with UNI Filter Pods, but otherwise stock engine! |
