Tank sorted
Some days luck is down. Some days luck is with you. I spotted an early tank on Ebay start bid £30. Looked tidy albeit 2 not hefty dents but dents needing some work to pull out shall we say. All underneath clean and tidy and with the seamed front.
I will say the last few moments no one had bid so whacked on a final bid of £136 because I wanted it whatever. Won it for £43.30 or £30 plus the postage. Happy..... Very. It can sit and wait to be done at my leisure when I can afford the respray.

That isn't the Agip one on the clutch housing of my '94: Mine is silver for their 4T Super?
Of course it was sold originally in Japan, or may have been changed: what's on the other early Monsters?

I might have a suitable bit of stainless hanging around so hold fire with sending any for now.
And... while its in the lathe, I could easily bore out half of the hole to save you having to drill it afterwards ...if you like. ps. those look like PR2s. I had excellent service from my last pair of those ...7 or 8 thousand miles from the rear. Last edited by utopia; 15-10-2015 at 09:09 PM.. |

In case you were being serious and not wanting a small frontal pic lol
Here is the early tank with a seam I think up to 97 ? And possibly after 97 until plastic tanks or I.E's . Its got a smooth front area and this is mine fitted to my bike. And just fitted that Agip decal too.

Ah! Gotcha now.
I honestly didn't know what this seam thing was, and what it looked like. Now I do...Thank you. Thank you also for not posting a full frontal........

You seem to be collecting more than one monster with all these parts!
My 1993 m900 is sorted and clean and would be used on nice days like today but a recent project has taken my focus: All the fairings are being slowly refurbed so I am running with a fly screen for now. |

You know it is sometimes disadvantageous to follow the torque.
Many of those settings are quite light. For those, I go with ring spanner hand-tight, quarter turn and check with torque wrench - usually right It is so easy with poor threads/old bolts to overtighten with the torque wrench as it does not give you the feedback of the rigid and light spanner. ....just saying.... |

I was reckoning on doing this one right as far as by the book BUT wasn't going to crank up using a long bar. My s4 conversion never had anything more than arm torque. I went out and got a small torque wrench and was amazed on the price tbh and its a Draper with a certificate of calibration that's pretty good if honest and well within those tolerances. I posted purely because I have wanted a list in one page not every chapter of the manual and as a guide and I always see peeps asking this and that torque and realise its really an early version. There were some bolts I tightened by hand and just did a check. On the click or just under so I am happy. I paid just £22 for this on ebay inc post and is approx. 12" long and handy size to use.
