I've been very naughty and brought Monster number five! It's a W headed 97' M900 it's been tail chopped and re-sprayed black by a previous owner to the guy that I brought it from. I got it for an absolute bargain as the guy that sold it to me brought it six months ago and only rode it once as he scared himself riding it stoned!!! It handle like a pig as I rode it home, the front tyre only had 12psi and the front suspension was set up all crooked (low on left side!) 

Anyway, here she is parked in front of my 95' M900 and my 78' Classic Mini  Grin

Seems you're well on your way to a comprehensive Monster Museum.  chug

That oil cooler looks to be in harm's way mounted like that.

Someone's swapped the valve covers, so the cooler is much lower, and further forward.

That general area is occupied by the front wheel at full bump.

After all the bikes and all that's said & done, I kinda wish I still had my '98 Monster.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

He stated "Haley's handle better when wasted" I think it may just be the open faced helmet make it easier when you have the munchies! Personally I think it was the suspension set up that made it feel like a pig!
