Me neither.  Looks dead-stock outside of like 2 short tubes just above the front engine bolt...

Meh.  I'd pass.

That tuning house built a special run of warmed over, lighter M900s. They built "factory" Elefants for the Dakar iirc. I read an article once that featured these bikes. Lighter oval tubed frames, FCRs, suspension upgrades, light wheels, SP/SL style brakes. I dont know how far they went into the motor.

Looks to maybe be a stiffening technique for the frame maybe?  Kind of like welding gussets on the square box framed Suzuki GS1100s and 1150s in the mid 80s.
