THere's not a lot of info on the 400 Monster anywhere, even Falloons Monster bible doesn't have more than a short paragraph on them which mentions production from '94 to '98 so I don't know if they were made after that. It does say that the 400 from 94 to '98 was a monster 600 frame and running gear with the 400 supersport engine and included changes made in line with the 600 monster with the exception of the alternator update to later '98 engines. The fairing and rear tail would suggest a '00 Terblanche facelift model as would the tank graphics, the fairing as you said does not look fitted correctly to the front subframe, siting much higher and the engine cases and belt covers would suggest a much later engine. I'm no marque expert, but sure doesn't look like an early 400 ss engine to me. I'm just quoting what is in the book and I'm sure some one will know more than I do but engine #s mayhelp identify production dates what you actually have. Interesting bike by the looks of it.
