New biker, new Monster

Hello everyone.

Having passed my DAS in April and deciding that a small Monster would (hopefully) be an ideal first bike I put a deposit down on Monster 620sie this weekend

Really looking forward to picking it up in the next 10 days or so. Having only ever ridden an inline-4 Jap bike (ie what I did my training on) I'm keen to experience a nice throaty v-twin!

I was pointed this way Chris from the MV OC and will keep you updated on my experiences and impressions. I'd also like to use you guys for all sorts of useful info if that's ok?

Initially I don't want to do anything to the bike other than a set of new mirrors and replace a few screws/bolts/bungs to tidy it up a little. In fact this leads me to my very first question if I may...

I noticed that a few screws were a little rusty/mismatched and this upsets me . There was also a plastic "bung" missing on one side of the tail section and one part of the frame. For replacement things like these is there a particular go-to place or will any DIY shop do?

Thanks in advance and look forward to reading this site.

Dan
