So, searching breakers and ebay etc I started acquiring some of the 'few' bits that I needed and started a test assembly of random parts as & when they were sourced;
Metallic silver tank, alloy swingarm & termi high-level cans.
I then discovered that the 916 forks were the wrong size to fit the Monster yokes (916 are 53mm top and bottom, Monster are 50mm top, 54mm bottom) so I took the yokes to a friendly engineer who bored the top to 53mm and turned some (0.5mm thick) bushes for the bottom;
Forks now fit;
Up until now I was planning a fairly standard Monster (other than the forks) but then I got tempted by the dark side of modifcations just as I did with the 916 (owned since new and very far from 'stock').
I then realised that resistance was futile and that I would only upgrade the standard parts soon after fitting them anyway, meaning I'd be buying double the amount of parts so I had a 'bugger it' change of plan moment.
I started to deviate from the plan...
