I've just finished a full nut and bolt restoration of my 1993 Monster (photo below)  I'm interested to know who has the oldest surviving Monster? & how many 93's are still out there? Mine is number 1413 off the production line (built June 1993).  |

Beautiful job.
philB probably has the oldest looking monster. Certainly the most miles.

 He must have over 200,000 miles on it by now. |

Good work. Nice to see 'em around.
Some good mods without taking away from the classic style.

Thank you for all the kind comments, I have put a lot of time, effort and way too much money into it. It's a beautiful bike to ride feels like new (I'm still running in the rebuilt motor).

Restoration is incomplete due to the missing FORK reflectors.  |

Restoration is incomplete due to the missing FORK reflectors. Not required in Australia  But you are correct it is still incomplete - it has my spare engine in it at the moment (it's a 97 900 SS engine) the original engine has been rebuilt, reassembled and sat on my workbench while I work out if I should just paint it or pulling it a part again to get it vapour blasted. Poor planning on my part, I thought I'd be able to get it blasted once reassembled but no one is willing to do it as it may damaged the engine if any seals leak!  |
