He wanted high mounts, but Dad Dill mentioned stock.
How about low mount carbon cans?
Needs new chain and sprockets.
Maybe cleaning of the carbs and possibly new/different jets.
There was talk about an oil leak and bad fork seals.
When he's comfortable with working on it, I hope Dad Dill will tell us what he needs

I've got stock forks from my 2001 M900. Perfect shape. Where do I send them?

Gather a list. I've got a bin of 2000 900 parts that should bolt up.
Bars, risers, cans etc
And just wondering - should this be in GMF for max exposure?

All joking aside guys..Ive got a couple sets of stock pipes..original and new generation Monsters. Stock mirrors. Rear mud guard. Etc.
Also, I may be taking an extended trip to Florida from Arizona next month. I'll be taking I-10 the whole way over in case there are members on the way who may have parts. The idea would be to deliver them to Mr. Dill in Orlando.
Let me know!

I have a bunch of stock stuff in the attic. I'll crawl up there and see what's available.

Hey everyone! I don't know any of you and am very new to this site, but I wanted to take a second to thank you guys. I knew Zach here in Orlando and losing him has been very hard. Just seeing you guys come together for him means so much..I can't even imagine what it means to his family. I hope you all know how appreciated this is and how much it means to all of us. Thank you!<3
