Lamonster ST-S Project

[Lamonster]

I've been pretty much running around like a madman trying to get my ST ready for Spyderfest. Sadly it won't be finished by any means but at least it will be a little different that the other yellow ST-S out there. As you know I can't leave things stock for very long so the first day I took it apart and got it ready for paint. I just got the call to pick up the paint today. It's nothing fancy just painted some of the yellow parts black and I have Pete with Powersports Wraps working on some graphics. To dress it up a big and tone down some of the yellow.

The plan right now is to get the ST back together next week and head to Pete's in Erie PA on Friday. Work a little Friday and finish up of Sat., then head toward Spyderfest in Springfield MO. So I took a 680 mile trip and tuned it into a 1400 mile trip. I love it when that happens. :doorag:

I'll be updating this post with progress pics.

We are ready and waiting... :popcorn:

Lamont, I like how you're toning the yellow down some. That was my first thoughts on the Yellow STS. I like the yellow but a little too much for my taste.

[SpyderWolf]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new Spyder.

I also toned down the yellow on mine. :roflblack:

[Chupaca]

Can't make the fest so will depend on photos...don't forgets us left behind..!! :roflblack:

:thumbup::thumbup: The yellow and black combo will look great. I'll be following this with great interest, I plan on buying an ST-S as soon as next year.

[Cattman]

If you need somewhere to sleep on the way from PA give me a call we've got plenty of room. ;)

[Lamonster]

Picked up my parts from the new painter and as expected there were some issues. Four out of the seven parts are being fixed over the weekend. I gave myself some time just for this reason. I hope the rest comes out as good as these fenders. By the way there are 15 bolts and screws holding each fender.
:yikes:nojoke


First painted parts installed.

The light is bad for a good pic but once I get the graphics on it should look pretty good.

[daveinva]

That's no Spyder... that's a Yellow Jacket! :thumbup:

[SpyderWolf]

Wow, that is really interesting. I haven't seen the ST in person yet and had no idea how big that riser on the fender really was. Having the black background really sets it off and shows how high it sits as well.

[pro10is]

Incredible paint job, looks like mirror gloss black. :thumbup: :thumbup: Really sets off the yellow. Can't wait to see it finished with the graphics.

[Kratos]

Would love to see a before and after shot in the final pic post. Very neat ideas on this...

[GloryRyders]

Looks like a "new" BumbleBee in the making :roflblack:................see you at Spyderfest, have a safe trip!

[Bob Denman]

Well now you've REALLY piqued my interest... :shocked: What are you guys cooking up?? :bbq::bbq: C'mon; we can keep it a secret! :roflblack:

[SpyderRx]

Looking awesome!!

[Lamonster]

I went ahead and added my Corbin rear fender that I kept from my GS/RS and because it's such a pain to get to the bolts on the back of the fender and to get to the license plate wiring I decided to pull the rear wheel to do it right. Got the fender bolted up and wired and got to looking at an Elka rear shock I forgot I had so I decided to bolt it up and give it a try. I can't give a full report yet but so far I like what I'm feeling. I'm just now leaving to pic up the rest of my paint and I was told that my Lamonster Cut Corbin seat is shipping today so I should have it in time to put it on before I leave for Erie PA. I'm getting pretty excited. :doorag:

The chrome wheels looked out of place on the trailer for the ST so I gave this stuff a shot. Couldn't find the Plactic Dip around here.

I'm going to need to get a stouter SD card for the camera... http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_13_13.gif

Here I am sitting at Pete's from PowerSportsWraps and we got a lot of work done last night. I drove in yesterday and the weather was great. Doesn't look like the weather is going to play nice on the way home. :banghead:

I'm not going too crazy on these graphics seeing the paint already looks pretty good. The plan is now to leave here around noon or so and drive 600 miles home and then in the morning go pic up some parts at my dealer and come home and mount my seat and a few other goodies and then head out to Spyderfest Sunday morning and arrive Sunday night. That will be about 1800 miles just getting there if I count the ride to Pete's. Seeing I haven't slept much in the last week or two I'm sure I'll sleep good Sunday night when all the pressure is off. Looking forward to seeing you all there. :doorag:

Lamont, get some rest and don't take any chances :shocked: I'll look you up at the fest. Does Eliz. ATV have any of your Spyder Emblems? I'd like to pick up some for the front wheels on my RT and also my trailer. I'll be going by the dealer tomorrow to get some rain gear. Hey man! Above all be careful getting home!

[clueless]

Lamont, If you need a place to stop overnight on way back feel free to pm me. I will send you my number. Live south of Pittsburgh by 45 minutes. N of route 70. :D

Great! thanks, hope to see you at dealer.

[Sny]

I like the way the front fenders came out... and the paint work looks fantastic.

Figured out how you're going to get all the gizmos mounted yet? I do notice there's a lot less dash available to work with on an ST.

I'm thinking of going with ram balls mounted similar to how you did your RT. Unless someone creative comes up with something better?
