Really dig the minimalist instrumentation and the graphics!

Add a chin fairing and you have a mini-Di (avel). ; >)

Really like the instrument panels. Nice work.

sick!!!

This is very nice indeed!

instrument panels are down right ridiculous...

Glad we could help Ryan, I'll admit to having a few doubts about how projects like this will end up, but you pulled this off beautifully.

Here's to a ridiculously good job buddy!

:)

The bike looks pretty cool but how does it feels in corners?

Love the exhaust...would love to hear a sound clip....

Thanks Ryan.

The sound must be insane with those shorties though... :)

I truly believe ya Ryan...can't wait for the clip...

Love the fat tire and the flat black, Nice bike

Wicked cool.  Well done

Dig the speedos! Where did you get those? That thing is SLICK!!

Whoa. Just whoa. I haven't put any aftermarket exhaust on my bike yet because I can't figure out what I'm truly in love with... I think I found it! Love the instruments and headlight as well! Strabiliante!!

I had to join the site just so i could comment on this bike. The best monster i've ever seen! i love it! way to bridge the gap between the sport bike scene and the chopper crowd. Totally jealous that this isn't my bike. I'm getting ready to hopefully buy my first duc. All the ideas i had in my head rollin around and then BAM i see a pic of it. Good job bra! 

Totally addicting.... You'll replace one piece after another until one day you realize you've spent just as much on parts as you did the original bike! If not more! I now have three bikes with plans for two more... I did stop the tattoos though, so I'm saving money there :)

I agree Its purely addicting. Watch out for those test rides too Last one i took ended with a Diavel, Now I need carbon , more carbon  and pipes, I need pipes, what about levers ....help

Easily one of the best looking Monsters I've ever seen. Nice work!

WOW!!

HOLY $H!T, I don't normaly like the big rear tire thing, but your bike is BAD A$$!!

I've gotten on here and looked at your bike every day now. even made it my PC desktop background hope you don't mind lol 

wow - a lot of time went into that bike!  how long did it take to get to this unbelievable show quality?  (btw, I think I voted, but not sure, let me know if I need to do something different - you deserve to win)   :)

I used the one showin off that big ol ass! the back right. Hey you got the specs on that swing arm or did you just wing it? I want to do the same thing on mine but probably only a 250 in back, yours is a 3 right?

LOL sorry bra i know something as critical as a swing arm can't be "winged" i meant did you two come up with the design or copy an already existing design? Does Wayne have a company where he makes these? i've looked for extended swing arms without much luck. 

tell me about the paint too? it almost looks like you drew that on a piece of thin paper like plastic stuck it down and shot over it? am i close? lol 

very, very Nice!!

Awesome.

Amature!?!?! :0  

 Vary sweet ;)   u stole my idea on fat rear and I now know I luv it thanks to you.  How does it handle, just curious.   Really nice details-makes me wanna stretch n slam one, but not the Beast because he would lose his fun on the track and forest hehe   nice job!!

meh-- if you qualified as Amature, you are where you need to be and did a kick-arse job.  I am of course bit torn from "the purist" side and my normal disdain of the stretch-n-slam, must admit it-BUT I can also appreciate the over-the-top imagination, creativity and skills it took to "Create your Monster"  hehe   As far as competing with me n the Beast, you have NO worries and we actually belong more in some class of competition, maybe something like "Women who actually RIDE their Monsters"   ;)     Good luck, but you don't need it and Ohh Yesss, truly hoping one way or another to meet you and a LOT of others at Indy (a girl can dream)

@ryandanger, I advise you put yourself in the category you belong in according to the rules. If you are an amateur with no ties to the motorcycle business that would give you a competitive advantage, than leave yourself in this category. However, if you do feel you qualify as a professional, I will work on a solution for changing your category and starting your votes over.

All contestants should know that we will do our due diligence to ensure everyone is in the category they belong in before we reward any trips to Indy. If you are found to be in the wrong category when we award the semi-finalists, you will be disqualified.

I had a concern that you listed "Wayne Ransom" in your bike title, which gives Wayne quite a plug, and then in your comments you say " Gotta give thanks to Wayne, Kevin, Edgar and Randy @ Belissimoto for helping me get all this together" which is a plug to them.  If either of these companies gave you a discount because they knew they were getting visability in this contest, then I think you should be Pro, but if you paid full price like anyone else, then it seems you are a fair and square Amatuer  (one crazy ass, talented amateur!).

If you are moved, I agree, you should carry your votes over with you.

Arrick, its getting a bit late into this contest, do you think there are some Pro's out there that are still working on bikes and will enter them in the next 4 weeks?

I think I already said, if you didn't get speical pricing, I for one fully support you as an amatuer.

nuff said.

147 on the street?  you are lucky they didn't put you in the slammer and keep the bike, they do that in a lot of states.

ryan you don't have to justify any thing, you did an awesome bike and you should be proud of it!  It stands out so much that people automatically think your a pro. You just have the skills and funds to create a beast! For my bike even if im listed as pro im no mechanic. I just like to take time and do things myself with some imagination and help from friends! only difference is i get discounted parts and i have a shop at my disposal. 

Just pass by all the crap.

You would had been in the lead being in pro or amateur. 

@ryandanger, it seems to me that your bike is in the right category. Because of this, I suggest you leave it there. Here is a quick explanation of why we would need to clear your votes of you were to move to the pro category: At the end of the day, “A vote is vote” is not really correct as some people may be more compelled to vote for a bike they feel is great for an amateur build, but more critical if it were labeled pro.

@kurtfriedrich, I have no indications as to whether any pros will come forth in the coming weeks. Only time will tell.

Good luck to everyone and I hope you are all having fun with this! As mentioned previously, we will investigate all of the semifinalists to ensure that their bikes comply with the rules before awarding any prizes.

You have such a good black theme going, have you thought about getting the pipes and cans black ceramic coated?

Not at all. I just want to ensure that EVERYONE is clear on the process. Unfortunately, this has all been brought up in your thread. I believe that everything should be clear to all parties at this point, so we can put this conversation to bed and get back to talking about your bike!

Incredible work!

congrats. It's really impressive!

I'd like to see it in real! It's just incredible.

@ryandanger, My bike will be at both Laguna and Indy. I look forward to meeting you there.

anyone wanna start a Charity Fund Pot to get Bella and the Beast to one or both events ;)

I really don't know how any of the other bikes even get votes...  this is the sickest custom bike I've ever seen.  Everybody does hogs and even sport bikes now.  But to take a Duc in this direction is like exploratory surgery...   KuDoS to You...

Its a sick looking bike man. Hope you win this thing!

I wouldn't call it exploratory surgery, much more like very successful plastic surgery.  As for performance, thinking this would not be so good for a road course, but if you start messing with the engine that extended rear end and tire size should make for a hell of a drag bike.

Can't get more naked than this - the instrument panel, the lights, no mirrors,... love it all Ryan!

You need to be careful when riding this bike, people will be getting into fender benders trying to turn and see this beauty......

Go Ryan go Ryan go!

EPIC BIKE! Did you built all the kickass things yourself... exhaust, swing arm, gauges etc?

@ryandanger, Still amazing. I am a fabricator in SoCal and your bike has definitely given me a lot of ideas/inspiration. I work with tubing for baja and off road trucks mostly but I'm going to put my talents into my M750 dark. I have this cool new way of bending/shaping tubing (or at least i think its cool lol) and I'm going to use it to make a new type of pod filters. Going to be a while before I have it complete, I have to re-position the carbs, but I'll definitely post it when I'm done or closer.

I appreciate the effort but just doesn't not seem right for a Monster.

"Fitting" of a typical Monster or not, this is one of the most unique Monsters I've ever seen.  Fantastic job and good luck tomorrow!

tight man - love the big fatty in the rear.

Wow! You have a vision. Very nice.

Congratulations.  I believe you won in great style.  Your bike really leads the pack in what I believe was the true heart of this competition.  Customization.  There are others that are really nice but this bike has broken barriers that haven't even been touched on reality TV...  You can now fit in with everyone...   Cruisers at 1:00 then Sportbikes at 6:00...lol    Now off to Indy...   

Love the bike!  But is it your belief that fron turn signals are over rated?

Congrats! nice meeting you this weekend.
