Hi guys,
my name is Ugo, I'm originally from Italy but living in Glasgow since...arh, I don't want to talk about it :-\ [laugh]
At the moment I'm having a long distance relationship with my M600, which I left in her nest in Italy when I relocated here. In the last 4 years I seldom got to ride it, but one day I am going to make up for all these missed miles [thumbsup]
I've been riding motorbike since I was way too young to do it legally on the road and I got my M600 when I was 18, so nearly 11 years ago...
Few years ago I started improving the suspensions and I got rid of the stocks exhaust cans which had the bad habit to kiss the tarmac a wee bit too often.
The problem of working on the motorbike during the holiday is that I mainly want to ride instead on being stuck in the garage, so the project is taking ages.
At the moment it's in a transition phase, I'm trying to find the best solution for the front fork, which is proving a more difficult and time consuming task than I had thougth at the beginning.
P.S. imageschak does not allow me to access my images. I will post some pictures later on as soon as I find out what's going on

Welcome,
Hmm an Italian picking up English with a Scots accent - that's something.
Regarding your fork issue - do some hunting in Accesories and Mods or Tech. There might be some illumination there, ad if not you can always ask.
But there should be good donor Monsters with better forks that would allow you to swap them in with no modification at all.
Thanks :)
ahah, you're right, mi current accent must be a interesting mix.
Regarding the fork, well, I bought the fork of a 996s only to discover one of the compression adjusters is locked in "closed" position.
Next time I am in Italy I will have to take the fork apart to see whether the adjuster is the only broken thing...
