Project M1000ie DS

My new project rocked up in the back of a van yesterday, so I thought I ought to introduce it, and the plan.

My recently completed 1000SSie DS/900 Superlight project ( http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=58987 ) made me realise just how much of a peach the injected 1000 Duel Spark engine is, and how much of a development it is over my old M900 carburated engine, yet it’s still the air cooled 2 valve engine I like.

I initially thought about dropping a newer engine in my M900, but thought better of it, so my M900 is up for sale ( http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=59070 ) to make way for my new project.

The bike is a 2004 M1000ie DS.
I specifically wanted a conventional swingarm bike, that I can make look similar to my M900, but with the later engine.

It’s a very basic spec bike with non-adjustable forks and a steel swingarm, but not for long as I already have this lot to go in it, which apart from a lack of a small flyscreen, which I don’t want, will bring it up to M1000S spec.

Fully Adjust able Showas, Aluminium Swingarm, etc.

I’ll also be adding some of the other bits I took off my M900 and replaced with standard parts.

I will be after a decent rear shock for it as I can’t fit the Hyperpro I took off the M900 http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=59050
So if anyone has a used Ohlins or similar in 305mm length please let me know.
