Had to sell my M900 despite the very generous assistance to help me keep it earlier this year... :'( (MUCH thanks again to those peeps...)
Arrived in Albuquerque bike-less... I hate being bike-less... Well, this is what fell in my lap and what I've done to it for the $567 thus far:
$250 for the purchase of the bike
$50 for the used SpeedMaster gauges *(note mileage is incorrect. Bike has about 36K on it)
$205 for the new Michelin Pilot Road's (Love these tires!!!)
$25 for a new rear tube
$20 for an oil filter (oil was a donation)
$0 for Ducati Multistrada 620 handlebars (take-offs)
$0 for used grips (old ones were shagged)
$0 for CRG bar-end mirrors (these were off an old project of mine)
$60 for a Kawi ZX9R rear shock (BEST investment!!! OMFG what a difference!!!!!!!!!!)
$7 for some PVC and a hack-saw to add more pre-load to the front
$0 to swap the LH passenger peg for the rider peg
$0 to add an M8 bolt, nut and some vacuum tubing to repair the shift lever
$0 to straighten and paint the mangled gauge panel (old speedo was completely busted up in the get-off)
$0 to drop the front forks 0.725" in the triples
$0 to trim back the horn cover
$0 for used Ducati Monster front signals
$0 to drill 8x 1/2" holes in the air-box to help rid myself of the rich carb condition that existed before
$0 for a used D675 3-into-1 header (yet to go on)
$40 for 1x used Remus muffler from a Ducati Monster (also yet to go on)
Complaints/yet to do:
Tach only reads to 8K, but it reads correctly so I don't care. It's an old bike anyhow and 8K to 8.5K isn't that much more power...
Speedo reads slightly high but what OEM one doesn't?!?
I'm in the desert SW and on a hot day...boy does this thing throw heat! (I'm used to air-cooled bikes).
Would like to do a tail-chop on it and rid myself of the 'alien-head' tail-lamp, but for now...it stays.
