It's winter here in the Netherlands so it's mod-time.
I'm busy building a 696 headlight on to my '93 M900.
I know, not everybody likes the 696 headlight and it's mostly done the other way around.
There are quite a few 696 and up Monsters with an old, round headlight.
I'm probably not the first who does this but actually i've never seen pictures of an early Monster with a modern headlight.

Imho the new headlight looks great but i don't like the way it's mounted on the 696.
It's too close to the frontfork legs.
So first i 've machined a few aluminium holders which provide some extra room between the fork legs and the headlight.



to be continued..

Blasphemy 

Nice job on the mounts.

Don't judge it untill you see it when it's finished.
A small Koso tachometer comes on top of the headlight together with a homemade carbon flyscreen.
This is how it was:



The new set up will be in the same style but it will have a lower profile.

Not judging at all. It is a correct Monster after all. 

That's a nice lookin' classic right there!

You can swap headlights with Ung.

Nope.  I like my headlight.

Got me own headlight from a crashed 696!
The brackets that hold the standard tachometer are gone, instead of these there's a machined bracket which support the much smaller Koso tacho:



Now i 'm busy sorting out the wiring, anybody did this before...?

I'm not at all a fan of the later headlight, but I think your custom brackets are AWESOME!

Thnx for the nice compliments, too bad you won't see the brackets with the headlight and flyscreen in place....
I've pretty much sorted out the wiring except for the low fuel light. Best solution is probably a seperate fuel light.

@ Tim: i really like your SS-project! Very inspiring project. I'm planning a similar project.
