Potentially stupid question. Fromm 1993 to 2000, are all monster frames the same, I.E. 900, 750 620, ect.

93-99: yes
2000: it's own special frame
2001: it's own special frame yet again on 2V and then the 4V comes into play.
2002: frame swaps over to an ST derivative

93-95(?) frames, some had a tab near the right rear motor mount to hold a fuel filter.
Others had a tab that a manual fuel petcock was bolted to.

'00 and '01 900 frames were different from the smaller bikes, as they were fuel injected, airbox mounts were different, and ignition coils mounted to the frame.

'01 and later have the 12mm engine bolts.

was wondering due to the amount of 620, and 750 frames available vs the 900. will be removing most tabs. Geometry and motor fitment is more along the lines of my interest
would like to keep original frame unfettered with, and chop up the spare.
What about rear sprocket carriers for the monster line, dual sided swing arm.
Oh custom work....... sooooooo fun

The carrier from the 4.5" rear wheel is a different offset than the 5.5" rear wheel.  Then you get the fun of axle diameters.  Early Monsters (up to 2001) are 17mm.  2002 up to 2008 is a 25mm axle.

I believe the 99 monster m900 is 25mm yes?

All '99 Monsters are 17mm rear axle, regardless of engine size.

Geometry and engine fitment is the same on '93-'00.
