Newbie to the forum btw.

Hi Chris and welcome to UKMOC.

You've got a good starting point for a classic m900 there with many of the specific early bits still in place.

As Albie notes, the indicators, mirrors, brake lines and handlebars have been changed, as well as some paint, but the 888 alloy swing arm and hugger, fuel filter and alternator cover to barrel oil lines are there, as is the right front mudguard with fragile fork mounts. Be gentle with those as they crack at the fixings: later they are thicker and later yet have bigger bolt spacing.

A rolling project of refinishing on engine cases, wheels etc. would be how I would go with it, but that's your choice for your monster.
