That tuning house built a special run of warmed over, lighter M900s. They built "factory" Elefants for the Dakar iirc. I read an article once that featured these bikes. Lighter oval tubed frames, FCRs, suspension upgrades, light wheels, SP/SL style brakes. I dont know how far they went into the motor.

Looks to maybe be a stiffening technique for the frame maybe?  Kind of like welding gussets on the square box framed Suzuki GS1100s and 1150s in the mid 80s.

Geoff, you got me excited when I saw the title and your name next to it..... I was jumping in the car and heading over to your place with cash $$$$. Alas, it wasn't your beast up for sale!!!  bang head
