My New to Me Monster 1100 Evo

Blimey you do ask a lot of questions

if the quality was bad they would not be in my bike

Haha. They look really nice on t'web.

Sorry another question, any tips on replacing them or is it pretty straight forward ?

Cheers !

even you could fit them

yep they are very easy to fit

Buy some threadlock though

Thank you !!!!!

Hi Cobra88,

first of all: what a gorgeous bike that you had the patience to put together. Or should I say: the passion to put together?

I am thinking of building from scratch a 1100evo project with Oehlins suspension front and rear. You have very nicely detailed some of the important steps to do so. Thank you very much for that!

I was wondering, the 1100evo comes with ABS as default. However, most 1100s models that I have seen do not have ABS (if I remember correctly on the the last year - 2010? would have had ABS). Hence, my question: did your Oehlins fork come with ABS mounts? Where does the sensor go? Or did you get rid of ABS altogether?

I know that this sounds a bit like nit-picking, but in my experience it is these small details that can cost me months and a lot of (unnecessary) cash.

Have a good ride - and safe!
Mike

Hi Mike

I kept the ABS as it works great and even after 34 years riding it can stop shorter than I can first time
in an emergency .

All M1100 evo have ABS.

the ABS will fit fine as it's all mounted on a sub assembly that fits between the mudguard and forks.

Good luck finding a set of Ohlins S forks as it took me 2 years to find a set (eBay.de)

your only problem will be finding 848 brake discs as the Ohlins forks have the calipers spaced 10mm
further apart.

I ended up fitting 330 mm 1098/1199 Discs as they are far more common on eBay.

Thank you Cobra!

I will see what I can find. Wow! It took you 2 years to find a set of Ohlins forks! I can imagine that it is most risky to find a set that is not damaged - hence, not bent or scratched. I know from a friend, that there are people who had accidents and then try to sell as much of their bikes as possible - even damaged parts.

Have a safe ride!

Hi Mike

The biggest problem finding the Forks is they are sought after mod for the Sport Classic Ducati
so they go for £2000 plus and straight to the USA.

they are pretty rare for that reason I think
