anyone tried to attach a newer, post 2000 windscreen cowl to an older, pre-2000 monster? is there a bracket i need to be using with a searchable name or part number?

belly pan looks sweet -- which seat is that?
i have the windscreen from an s4r, trying to attach to m900. looks like it will eventually work, i just need to be less lazy.

Lol!!!
That's what I am running now!!
I ll post pics later
dude -- how on earth did you get it to fit? ??? did you buy a bracket, or fabricate one? my life won't be complete until it's attached to my bike. :'( i have a blue one with a white stripe, *and* the matching blue seat cowl with white stripe, thank you ebay.
of course, my life won't truly be complete until i get my cycle cat RIPS system completely installed. or until the penske shock i ordered is put on. or until i get my front-fork situation sussed out. then, when i have my sargent seat, and my new gp gel "capirex" pro grips, then all will be well in the world. [wine]
Yeah...it never stop...
Unfortunately, i just crashed mine and need some time to clean it up after my shoulder heal up.

Really hi tech.....currently just using heavy duty zip ties!!!
I have DP tach/speedo that sits higher than the stock so I have the fairing siting atop headlight then resting against the speedo/tach. I do plan to do something stronger and more permanent
Later
Will post pics when I get home

Too FUNNY!!!
Sorry, never caught your question about the seat....it's a stock one that I handshaved down and recovered with Alcantara (fake suede) & carbon graphite vinyl.

Assuming you mean a non-696/796/1100 windscreen.....
You need the late model headlight mounting ears, the special bolts that hold the turn signals, and the rubber grommets.
I'm assuming that you still have the small L-brackets that are attached to your upper triple.
That's what I've done to fit an '02 windscreen to a '98 M750.
i do not have those l brackets, though it oops like they would work. i will look for the parts you mention though. for now i may just use some sort of zip-tie/bungie solution like 118811
i made it work with 10-inch bungie cords from home depot -- quickly becoming my favorite store on the planet. and they work so well that i can't imagine any reason to find a different, more ``permanent'' solution. i'll post pics in the morning [thumbsup]
Minor threadjack......118811 what clip ons are you using? Nice tach/speedo and belly pan!

Thanks JohnEE
The clip ons are Apex with 4'' risers which I have set just below stock height.
here are some pics, as promised, if a little late. by the way, i am switching out my city bars for cycle cat clip-ons in t-minus 10 days! doing it coincident with the gixxer fork swap and new penske shock. can not wait [drool]

oh, and those fcuking lame old stock foot pegs and can hangers need to go ASAP. not cool at all with the awesome new sargent seat. my seating position is a gazillion times better -- higher and more stable -- but my knees are knocking the gas cap... please, dear god, let me find a rearset solution soon! not easy with a 99 monstie and low cans.
It actually makes me feel better that 118811's awesomely customized Monster's keychain is the same Ducati logo one that I have on my bike! ;D
