Hammer, chisel and hack saw. Judicious application of sticky backed plastic and 'heres one we build earlier'

Could even be a 750 although not too many about.
On the suspension front, well rear really, it's an IE.. That's what they're like

Basically the old ones had a hoop, the later ones don't.

That phot0 looks like an injected 620, 750 or 800 dark - wet clutch lump
As others have already said it won't have a hoop - different frame/rear suspension on later model monsters ;)

I have had many a question asked about the hoop on my old Monster;
"What's it fot?" "why have it?" ect ect
My answer has now been fine tuned too "If it wasn't there, my arse would've worn out by now"
:D
It's a 620ie since 750/800 would have an oil-cooler. those mirrors say 2004 or later if they're standard.

you mean i was right, paarrrrtayyyyy! The reason i wasn't sure is it looked like the slim frame rather than the fatter frame of the later non hoop models.
