Hi!

Stumbled upon Monster.org and registered.
Living in The Netherlands and owning a Monster 600.



Things to do:

- Upgrade brakes from single to dual discs
- Ducati performance exhaust
- Some carbon parts

I'd carefully assess your current braking performance. If you are riding it hard enough that you are experiencing brake fade, then by all means go to the double disk. But if you are not, then the extra disc will do nothing for you but increase unsprung rotating weight, and thus degrade your handling and your suspension response.
