FS: Local Sale Only, 1999 M900S, $4500

Hey, I'm back again.
My Monster finally runs again. I spent many months chasing one bad lead after another (mostly out of denial). Finally I trucked the bike up to Eric who proved to me that the problem was the tank coating flaking off and clogging fuel flow. So I then spent months trying to strip the tank so I could re-coat it. In the end I had limited success and I ruined the paint by spilling tank stripper on it.

So I finally capitulated and took the tank to Nate for professional assistance. He took out the two handlebar dents, stripped and recoated and put on a stunning new paint job. So the good news is that this bike is no longer a project. It's all up to date, sharp looking and running strong. But it needs a new home. My wife got tired of me working on this bike (and a 2002 Triumph) for the better part of two years and "persuaded" me to give up both for a brand new bike with warranty. So to make good on my agreement, the Monster must go. Here are the details:

I'd much rather sell to a lister than some clown on Craig's List.
