Stretched Monkey......

Check out this Monkey (built by Bamboo Japan), it has an aftermarket extended frame, killer candy powdercoat, anodized brembos and sports a CD50 seat.. I love the stuff these guys do, a perfect combination of funky and cool.
The Cd50 seat is way cool, much better look than having a big gap between the gas tank and the triples...

Re: Stretched Monkey......

Seen a few other streached frames like that, the long seat does the trick. Im normally not a fan of the look cause most of the time the tank is pushed back and there is a huge gap in between the neck and the tank.

NOt sure about the pink on the frame. Its a cool color but the mismatch between the reds and that frame looks strange.

Thanks for posting it up DT.

I agree,
The other stretched framed Monkey's I have seen had the big gap in front of the tank and it looks weird. The powder coat looks sick, but they should have gone with red.

Looks very unfinished with the tank set back like that.

A streched tank would look SICK if done tastfully.



The pink has got to go!
