Amen to that - you don't want to restore it yet again any time soon.

Don't need to change the stand: just change the pivot bolt for one without the central boss and the spring plate slides across the top of it. That way there's no fulcrum for the spring to pull the stand up, it just helps lock it in place. You have to push the stand back a couple of inches quite hard against the spring before it over centres the spring and then pulls up.

Really pleased for you Albie as I know how hard you worked on it. I remember when mine came out - it was like Xmas lol. Now do me a favour and promise never to park it next to mine as you’ll make it look properly crap lol !!

Your bikes were always an inspiration to me. I think I saw the light at the meet when Rally and Jim you and Pedro all had them for the weekender. I was offered Rally's bike not long after but didn't have the funds.
You do know its going to be in bits again hopefully in a few weeks time as I have to replace rings in rear at least. Its not all glamourous right now.

I've just posted on another area that I have 93 m900 for sale 7500 miles standard condition mint correct exhausts ECT original Bill of sale. Just taking advantage of your article, and the nostalgia the sight of the factory fresh 25 year old monster generates.
