friends,
I am currently viewing a post for a part out on a 1995 monster 900.  The parts i am interested in are the aluminum top clamp (made by DPM?) and the clip ons.  Will these mount up to my 2001 m900 dark?  What sort of challenges will i face.  I currently have a cheap EMGO drag bar (with pullback) installed.  Rider position and component fitment/location should be similar.  looking for a cleaner look. 

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Should be a bolt on, I think. The '01 and '95 are both 851 style frames.

Cables/hoses might take a little fiddling.

While you're fitting clip ons consider dropping your clocks for a neater look overall, I did mine years ago and am still happy with the set up.

May be slightly different arrangement to your clocks but the main bits ought to be the same.
