Bill Johnson's TurboMonster Production
Project bike in production.

Bar Clamp
The ideal is to make a 3D bar clamp to cover up the scratches on the handle bar (from the old boost gauge mount). The design will be the stacked version of the Duc Cutters logo. The starting point will be from a old FBF aluminum clamp my buddy milled flat.

"Desmo Opener" Crankcase Cover
My ideal is to make a 3 dimensional, multi-functional crankcase cover. I've never seen one that didn't look stock with a logo on it.

Thumb Brake (w/Tom's Italian Tune And Service)
After changing the rear sets on my Monster, I had trouble using the rear brake lever. The lever position was just to far off and with the rear set position a new lever wasn't going to be a simple solution either. So, I switched to a Brembo "GP-Series III" Thumb brake. Works great and really cleaned up the right foot peg area!

uCluster (w/Rick Murphy)
I want to make a new instrument cluster to better integrating the boost guard and incorporating LED's for the tach. I saw instrument a cluster on a bike made by "Chica Custom Cycles" with two 2.25" gauges I like, so I'm taking that design and Monster sizing it to 3.5". Should be big enough to act as a wing screen as well.

The ring was off the first LAW's rocket I fired in OS training at Fort Bragg's JFK SW school.
DucFoot Kickstand
After many years of want to make a 3 dimensional duck foot kickstand I taled Mark into helping me produce my ideal. With help milling the ruff shape and weeks of Dremeling we where able to weld it onto the stock kickstand leg. It also increased the length of the kickstand .75", give the bike a better lean angle.

Mass Production: November 9, 2008
I recreated my original design in eMachineShop's CAD software and placed an order for a dozen units in 6160 T-6 Aluminum. I will be hand finishing all the pivots.

Tubular Rear Sets (w/MotoCreations)
Designed to work with "Street Sweeper Exhaust". Incorporates the rubber foot pegs from the 50's Ducati singles, a secondary brace for the upper kickstand bolt and Ducati 748 style rear break master cylinder. From the stock peg position these are 1" down (X), 1/2" forward (Y) and 1/2" in toward the case (Z). (01/05/06)

Street Sweeper Exhaust (w/MotoCreations)
Modifing the orginal turbo exhaust created by Mike Lee and JB Racing. We removed the final section with the cans and switch to a straight multi-port output with limited baffling. I the new design was to imulate "Road Racing" under bike exhaust, plus reduce weight and back pressure. It's a cross Road Racing exhaust and the Ferrari F40. (10/04/05)
