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. |

Nice looking bike! Enjoy!
The cut down original rearsets looks a very tidy job! Yorkie.

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. |
