Showa Motorcycle Customs's MONKEY

0909_Monkey_01.jpg

With a dual rocket cowl made to look like an endurance racer with a single headlight and a one-off single seat, this Monkey has a totally original silhouette. The overall paintwork boasts a unique color choice of gray, orange and black and is done by the owner himself.

Not only the exterior but also the engine has been fully upgraded, and the wheels have been made super-wide. The front wheel is 6.0J and the rear is an astonishing 8.5J!

The CIBIE Visage II light, originally used as a fog light for a four-wheeler, is used as the headlight. The paintjob with lines and racing numbers on the uniquely shaped dual cowl succeeds in showing off the original modeling.

It is a recent trend for full cowl bikes to swing the carburetor sideways and have the funnel protrude through a hole in the cowl. The OVER Racing Side Cover is also boldly painted to match the lines of the body!
