Currently looking at black frame with satin black components (probably cerakote) and black bodywork with some candy red dropped into the paint. I will most likely have dark candy / cherry red wheels as well. I would like the 5 spoke wheels but its easy in a project to constantly buy new, more trick parts and never actually get enough money together to complete the thing. This Monster has been in my garage for 10 years now! Currently I'm going with the following spec from front to back; 916 forks re-valved by Maxton Remote reservoir rear shock from Maxton Sport classic front mudguard Headlight lowered 25mm, no chrome and carbon back Braided hoses Brembo radial MC's with smoked pots Fatbars Mikuni TDMR 40mm faltslide carbs Ignitec ignition for 900ie engine in carbed bike MWR airbox lid air filter CCW coil upgrade Exact Fit starter cables Alcantara seat LED tail light Original style smoked indicators RoadRacing tail tidy (uncut) Renthall sprockets Oil cooler cover in SS Hypermotard oil lines (both up one side) Swingarm / spindles caps in grey alloy (German from memory) Silmotor 45mm headers and 2/3 length oval carbon cans (SP Engineering) Hoop extenders Centre stand Givi rack kit (not to be kept on bike) and tank bag Things I'm looking for; 888 hugger Floating rear brake RoadRacing front brake scoops Stuff to spend more cash on; Paint Powder coat Cerakote Plating Fiddly parts Something I'm considering; Taking front discs apart and coating carriers and then rebuilding with new bobbins

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

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.
