M600 Forks

So then, which forks will fit a 1994 M600 without needing any mods? I'm looking at a set off an M900 but they dont appear to have the mudguard brackets on them like the 600 has.

The Monster forks changed in my2001(I think?).The mudguard brackets are the same as the Superbikes/SS's and St's,.....ie they are plastic brackets that clip around the fork bottoms.The '01< mudguards are slightly longer to suit.

Cheers Keith. So if we go down that route we need a front guard as well then.

Note that the wheel spindle is larger diameter & hollow on later front end, where as earlier bikes have solid spindle. Also the caliper mounting bolt holes are further apart (different type of calipers used) Hope that helps?

That was my next question! So i basically need a whole 900 front end, both forks, caliper, spindle and if the spindle is bigger won't i need the wheel as well?

No, just a change of wheel bearings should do it Paul.

Cheers Andy.
I think the pattern fork tube that Nelly has ordererd is going to be the easier option.

There are a pair of M900 forks on ebay at the moment for not much money but i know Monsters have a habit of popping the left hand seal so they might not be any better than the ones on the bike at the moment.
