There are at least two iterations of DP fairings for the old Monster (pre 2000).

My first Monster had that version purchased from the DP catalogue, but my current bike has the rounder more curved version used on the 98-99 M900 S and some '97-'99 bikes. Both DP ones are carbon.
I think your version can clear the clip on bars easier. They were worth a fortune in 1996!
The S4R fairing will be a good compromise, and the stripe is fine.

TOO FUNNY!!  I just spoke with a friend and he has the DP 98'-99 in Carbon Fiber offering to sell to me.

But I would have to custom fit it & possibly cut it down in areas to make it work with my DP gauges & Cycle Cat triple clamp,  no longer as attachment points for the brackets.

This is mine a while ago...I have shorten the windscreen a bit.

Is this black fairing a stock one you trimed down on the sides and screen?

Also it looks like you attached to the headlight bracket...correct?

I think the OP had the rounder one.

This is the one I have

The S4R fairing fit ok? I think it captures some of the curved styling of the old oem fairing which matches the curves of the older tank and and seat cowl.
The latest one is too newfangled for me. (old fart smiley).

Agreed.... It looks much better on this bike than a 796. I took mine off the first week of owning and never put it back on.

I removed mine over the winter; I can't say I notice a difference at speed, but it certainly looks better.

The fairing is carbon.  I didn't trim the fairing itself, but just the screen (the glass looking part)

Yes the fairing mount at the headlight mounting screws.
