I am back in the fold of Il-Monstro

Picked it up on Friday. Have no idea for a name yet as need to ride it to get a feel. It is defo not "nice and cuddly".







Some little mods:

944 big bore
Race exhaust by D&D, half is 55mm, rest 44mm.
Open airbox with K&N
Dyno jet
Ohlins fully adjustable rear shock
Front forks - well front needs to change
Belly pan & seat cowl
Oddly harsh gearing which makes it go up and up all the way to the end of 3rd gear. Stupidly easy to do it (15/42). Any idea what is a stock gearing for 1993 m900

Oh yes BTW it is a 1993 m900 with 16k miles on it.

Cool

Nice looking bike! Enjoy!

The cut down original rearsets looks a very tidy job!

Northern Ireland (NI).

There is more there as when I was looking for that vintage m900 I seen 3 in uk. One was so ugly, one had 30k and one I did not manage to buy as I was outbid (now I think it was a good luck). In Ireland I seen 6 for sale during the same time, 4 moded more or less and two bang on stock. All of them between 14k and 23k.

I have chooped the tail one time and it did look cool but I did not like the fact that mud from my rear tyre was ending up on my visor ... I am all weather rider on any bike.
Besides I have other idea for that tea tray which involves it staying just in new form.

Belly pan is a maybe.
