every body's gotta have a build thread, an M900 story

Wow! What and overhaul! I cant wait to see how this turns out

Would you like to share the specs of your mods for the real wheel? The alpinas are 25mm front axle 25mm rear right?

Yes, 25mm rear axle and front. Although front axle on 95 is 22mm, the bore on the fork is 25. If you remove the threaded slug from left, you will need to bore the right to fit the 27mm side of the axle, use the same spacer that the sport classic uses (GT1000, Paul Smart)front done. Offset rotors that come on the 95 need no shims. The rear is just getting a later monster carrier, using gt1000 rear caliper carrier flipped, st3 axle adjustment inserts and boring out each side of the rear swing arm to accommodate for the 25mm axle.

Thanks! Thats a different approach to the rear wheel than i have seen before.

I have seen people using top hat axle spacers with a 17mm rear axle, and using the brake hanger from the monster.
The surface that sits against the swingarm needs to be taken down by  0.5mm.

Cant wait to see your bike finished!

Love the spoked wheels on a Monster - missed out on some RoadRacing hubs last year in the UK but building a complete bike means no $$'s for too many trick parts.

Are your silencers mounted correctly as they appear to kick up slightly more than they 'should'?

when the frame fab is done, the angle of the exhaust will make more sense

[Pinion]

when the frame fab is done, the angle of the exhaust will make more sense, and honestly at this point, nothing is set in stone with the exhaust. looking at other options such as keeping it under the motor. just got tread on wheel, so fender fab time. and the more chopping of the frame
Some other goodies are in, custom GPS speedo, and custom tac. a donor tank to chop up and play with. and a few other old school Duc bits the might get incorporated.
oh the funn

Just noticed you've got the same belly pan as me! 

Build looks like it's coming along nicely mate

[Pinion]

a bit slow, but that's because its my bike, lol
might move it to the shop and punch it out

[Pinion]

No, I didn't die or wander off into outer or inner space. Much busy at the shop and renovating my house. So my little beastie suffers.
Will be sparking it back up. New FCR 41mm coming, as well as some new shwanky bolt ons.
and she sits desolate in the corner. Frame fab to start soon I swear.

P.S.,
fork and swing arm done, wheels set, yay.
trying a bar set up, these look weird.
