New to Monster ownership - hi!

[Goofle]

After ummmming and ahhhhing for about 6 months I've just bought my first Monster. It's a 93 year M900, and isn't in bad condition for its age. I've just got to resist the urge to modify it (too much)!

All the best,
Goofle.

Welcome to the forum Goofle; forget resisting urges are good! - I hear Frankwell car park flooded again :mand:

Welcome along.
I lived in shrops myself for a few years.

While a '93 900 might be a bit of a classic monster, they were made for modding really, so don't resist too much.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get on with the bike - it's my first that's not encased in plastic, but I'll give it a go! I've done a lot of work on and know there's been a lot more done on the bike - my Boss owned it prior to me. It had a full service last summer, chain, sprockets, tyres, front master cylinder, pads, and other odds and sods, and this week I've done the belts and raised the suspension back to somewhere near normal. It's in Hampshire at the moment, as am I. I'm hoping for a decent day for my trip back!
(I went into Shrewsbury last Friday. Much of the centre was flooded, the Severn had turned much of it into a lake! Saying that much of Shropshire is the same...)

I really want a set of high rise pipes. And then a open dry clutch. And then....

Noooooooooo…...

Sorry - excuse my ignorance. Is this a typical newbie boo-boo, akin to asking where to put the tax disc or what pressure to have in the tyres??

Nah… just ignore me. I'm allergic to belly pans, white wheels and high-rise "wheelbarrow" pipes.

Oh, and dry clutch rattle. :D

I should be shot, really.

Sounds like the ideal monster if you know it that well.

Hi-level pipes are fine. Bob just has very particular views.
Personally, I like them, partly for the way they clean up the back end and make wheel/chain maintenance easier, but also because I reckon the extra length of the link pipes improves low speed running.
Max (Pompone.....Desmoperformance) will probably be along in due course to tempt you with some titanium options.

Welcome to the club and I hope you have fun on the bike

I'm listening and open to ideas....
My main aim is NOT the clip on route. I've got sports bikes already and want to steer away from replicating that.
I also know I need to change the oil seals on the front forks prior to mot time in June.

Hi and welcome. :) If you want high-level pipes sil-moto made some nice ones which avoid the wheelbarrow effect (which really only comes with a combo of tail chop and longer pipes, like Ducati Performance/Termignoni)

I'm sure it would have happened by now if you didn't look so cute in your white boots :mand:

I think the bag of spanners in a biscuit tin IS rather a Marmite noise!

To me it's a Ducati noise, as much as a bellowing V twin exhaust!

[gary tompkins]

Silmotor pipes are a good buy - I've had three sets so far. The trike has titanium WRP cans, which are identical to the Sil's

They are really loud without db killers in though

Actually, they do look quite good. :)

Just make sure the boom is much higher in the mix than the rattle.

I think there are some Hi-Level Silmtor pipes for sale atm if you're still looking?

[Goofle]

I think I've got something sorted, but thanks. I'll bear it in mind!
