Changing your Monster's frame geometry!!

[Rufus120]

Come on guys........A bit of duct tape here and there and you're good to go

Get a hammer and tub of Bondo, and whala! a custom Monster...
Glad you're OK, and May the force be with you.

Hmm - anything can be repaired, it's just a question of repair cost vs replacement and/or whether or not you want to modify the part (different frame geometry, etc.). If some bracing is added, you should end up with a frame that is stronger & straighter than the original. Definitely put a dial indicator on the axle & forks, and, as mentioned, check the motor mount areas of the motor for cracks. If there are cracks, these can be repaired as well.
Your best bet is to find a friend who owns a tig welder and owes you a big favor & feed him lots of pizza & beer. If you have to pay by the hour........................

Genius! I've been looking for a way to do this.

Does this belong in "Accessories and Mods?" 

I think this definitely belongs in "Tutorials".  Sorry to hear what happened.  I am glad you are ok and seem to be in good spirit.

I'm actually going to be parting out a 2001 M900 as it had a cracked engine mount and my buddy got a BMW instead... it's a clear title frame

If you're interested in any parts, I've probably got them. PM or email terryc34@yahoo.com works best.  I'm in the north east.

I was speaking with someone else about this (who is knowledgeable) and they specifically wanted an FI frame with a hoop swingarm as they're slightly different than the earlier carbed bikes. I believe the cross tubes are in different placed on the earlier carbed bikes.

Good luck with what ever path you choose.
