Members Bike - Monster Learners 2001 750 Dark

[Lucazade 749s]

Well I have a Monster 750 Dark 01. Love it but will be changing to bigger model next year so not making any big upgrades. Need bigger as current one is getting sluggish when fully loaded and/or me on it (my weight 100kg). I treat losing weight as an option but it is easier to buy bigger bike.

Before sale planning to do:
- Paint foot rests in black
- Putting it on gas analyzer to adjust mixture and if possible open the box a bit
- change mirros to the new model one
- maybe indicators and rear light to led versions
- replace rev counter if found a cheap one, or the glass as it is cracket. Still water proof and not fogging.
- paint or replace bracket holding the gauges (which ever cheaper)- is it possible to paint carbon bits?
Have a look at attachments to know what I mean.

Looks great ML, a real classic looking Monster... but I'm surprised you refer to it as sluggish?

Not slugish when in the city, only when fully loaded with luggage. Longer trips are a pain no passing any one going faster then 80m. Motorway mostly left lane and from time to time middle.
I will probalby replave it with 1000s I love low pipes and aircolled. Yet I must say S4 is growing on me but will most likely not buy one..

Very nice ML - does it wear the coat to stop it from catching colds?

Oxford water proof but still breathable. Well was as it got ripped by some bad youth so now it’s leaking a bit on my passenger seat. Waiting for new one but this time a heavy duty tarpaulin.

Sorry - I meant the Baglux tank cover.

A ok. Well cover is great and what goes on top of it is even better. Bagstar bag consisting of 2 bags zipped together. Bought bags can be used as stand alone bags + a belt converting it in to a cary bag is added.
