Looking really good, you are building the bike im dreaming of!
I got a '94 900 monster as well, black sport classic wheels (not mounted yet).
Is this the headlight you are using?

looks the same, different vendor, nice price on that one though

Were the Alpina's a direct bolt-on? Specifically the front 17mm axle? Hope to have a set someday also on my '98. Enjoying this.

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

17mm rear axle, front one side of fork will be milled out to accept 27mm end of new axle and a spacer will be made, rear a sleeve will be made and some modifications to caliper hanger.
I have offset rotors so calipers up front are fine. Not direct bolt on, a little moding
