Since the last errata, you can flurry with a monk weapon. How does it work for a multiclass Monk 2/ fighter 5, who flurries with his Kama? Does he have extra attack?

There is nothing keeping you from getting your normal extra attack out of FoB as long as you are using a monk weapon. The way the FoB math works out you will basically treat your BAB as +7, apply the -2 to hit across the board as though you were using Two Weapon Fighting, use any other modifiers you have + your d20 roll.
Basically yes, you can still use Flurry of Blows as a multiclass character as long as you use monk weapons.
Thanx all :)
As a side note maybe take a peak at crusaders flurry feat. 4 lvls of paladin (or one of cleric if you don't mind the bab hit.) might very well be worth more then fighter to flurry with a better weapon. Like say a glavie.
where is that at?
so good for a monk/paladin build huh?
so you can still flurry with monk weapons.
Could a paladin/monk of erastil flurry with a temple sword in melee and a longbow in ranged combat then?
monk/paladin couldnt wear armor before.... so it's not a 'new' restriction.....

No, since TWF only applies to melee attacks, and Flurry is based of the functionality of that feat, the only exception to this is pointed out in the Flurry rules and is for Shuriken.
having the proficiency isn't that same as the build being able to use it.
There would be no point to going monk/paladin and wearing armor. Especially any decent armor.
It's basically a saving throw melee build. But now, with that feat you can flurry with some more interesting weapons.
Monk/Paladin (or cleric) with a glaive could be a fun build being able to both AoO with reach and upclose (elbow, knee, headbutt)
It also opens up the possibility of a dervish dance monk to lessen the monks horrid MAD. Not really fleshed out the idea or anything but its possible.
Isn't that Shelyn for the glaive?
(I just had a horrible image of someone building a monk/cleric and flurrying with a great sword aaaaaaah nooooo make it stop!)
There really is no point in flurrying with a twohanded weapon that does not offer some other benefit (reach.) as the str mod while flurrying is limited to 1x. Sure you get more out of power attack but is it worth the feat cost and dipping for just that? I would say no.
Also with dervish dance you might not be able to have a weapon or shield in your off hand but there is still other uses. Perhaps take dangerously curious trait and not dump CHA so its a wand hand. Or there is Flagbearer feat... Or I am sure someone can come up with better ideas then this heh! Still you get my point.

I didn't know there was a monk/paladin build. Seems like it takes MAD to the next level.
Ya it's shelyn with the glaive. Cayden is a rapier. I just like the idea of the drunken duelist.
I thought about that too for Seranrae, and scimitars, having a heavy Dex and wis build means lots of AC, keeps damage up, and reduces MAD huge.
A single level dip of cleric, weapon focus, and flurry. Can also pick up weapon focus from the crusader archetype I think.
Good catch on the crusader archetype there. That's perfect!
