The RoadRacing number plate holder arrived safe n sound from Nasher. RoadRacing appear to get some criticism for average build quality but I've got to say this seems very well made and definitely worth the money!

Well done so far and echoing what others have alteady said 'about time' but then it really is all about time isnt it? If you need any bits let me know on here or mobile. You never know as a lot of S4 and S4R bits will fit the M900

Cheers probably will need some bits but I'm at that think I've got it all phase but deep down really know there's some odd stuff still to find.

Things that I can easily address but not visually is the fatbars into the stock clamps, the 900ie motor into the 900 carb frame, the 900m speedo with 916 spindle for the forks and finally the Brembo radial master cylinders onto original braided lines...

Had to resort to buying a set of tired indicators on ebay just to find the mount brackets. Even these are missing the locating lugs on them but can probably be rescued somehow.

Not sure what the lugs were like or fi glue would be good enough, my vote goes to plastic welding.

All you need is a soldering iron and some cable ties.

I think Albie did this with some plastic number plate bolts somehow.

Probably similar to what I was thinking but could be an ideal solution as I'd imagine the plastic screw being strong enough for the job but sacrificial when required

Drill and tap holes m6 in the same place. Take 2 black number plate screws the ones with the reduced front locatirs. These are the same size as the original lines.. Frome the back then screw the bolts through until the threaded portion stops the cut off the back with a chisel or sharp knife flat. You can glue but not necessary as plastic taps tight. Done a few now for customers of Proteam. Cost about 10p for bolts

Carbs now ordered from Allen's Performance with delivery expected anytime between 3 weeks and 3 months from now.

They have the Keihin FCR's in stock and didn't try and convince me to swap from my chosen Mikuni TDMR's to them and even said that the Mikuni uses a higher quality bearing system (assuming throttle slide here) and agreed that whilst not essential the choke function was handy for everyday use.

I have some indicator mounts that I have no use for if you need some? The mounting tabs look similar to the ones you’ve pictured however.

Typed out a long entry then the forum crashed

Need some angled risers to fit my stock bored top yoke and to clear the 916 forks I'm using whilst also allowing fat bars to be fitted - need to see where I can purchase or commission some so please feel free to make some suggestions?
