I've realised that the calipers are not the "Goldline" ones as they have 40mm centre mounting bolts to suit the earlier forks.
1999 is an interesting pre-facelift year. as noted, it has the new remote reservoir clutch and brake masters and a twin clock dash.
In 2000 the M900(ie) got electronic injection, "superbike" forks with a different mudguard to suit the strap round mounts and the Goldline calipers with 65mm mounting centres. The tank and seat got a bigger radius in the kneepad area, the seat catch changed to a spike instead of a loop and the filler cap grew in diameter to get the fuel pump in and out.
The indicators changed to elliptical ones and the tea tray became more curvaceous. (Yours has been chopped off anyway!)
It also got new lightweight Brembo wheels with the thin end of the spokes at the rim end.
In 2001 it got a new frame without a hoop link on the rear and a more complicated ECU.
Yours looks cock on for a 1999 though apart from the tail dock when it was a kitten! Truly the last of the carburated M900's.
