Hi All, I've got an early M900 that I'm currently doing a resto-mod build on and need a fuel tap. Unfortunately the main places I've checked dont have any showing as available. Its the very small type that attaches direct to the side of the tank and I think has a knurled ring to turn it off n on. The SS one looks very similar but has a different part number... Anyone know if the SS one fits the very first Monster? Many thanks - Ben
No sorry Ben, I'm not sure regarding part numbers, however I'd head over to Stein Dinse as this is a vast source of info on parts, with microfiche for many.models and you can often view the part images too
Cheap enough from Stein Dinse though. Worth ordering other parts if required as postage from Stein Dinse Germany is high
Thanks again - I'll check them out and see what else they have that I need as there is a myriad of small rubber bits etc that I need to order so I'll see what they can do price-wise
They are one of my go to places, when I need a load of little bits, they have a hell of a lot of stuff and the microfiches with part numbers have helped me out so many times
I haven't read thread completely, but I guess you found this already?:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40431475...wyph3upnbOYacq8dLFlLpELJpP|tkp:Bk9SR6L58MPZYg
sorry got side-tracked by DQ post.. yours is for a Monster.. this was a rarity on early bikes only from memory? - will have a search. do you have a picture of yours?
There is a horizontal outlet on the tank which is threaded on the right hand side as you sit on the bike which faces to the left
That would only work if there was some kind of adapter bolted onto the tank to create a way of then having a fuel pipe to that style of tap
yes, that's the one I remember, other than that I can only recall a simple threaded outlet that possibly went to one or two inline filters at the back/under the tank. i.e. - later versions of the Monster dispensed with an on/off fuel tap altogether.
