And the frame on the Montjuich is different from the Laguna Seca/Santamonica versions. The difference is that the rear frame brackets on which the exhaust attach are "horizontal" on the Montjuich but "vertical" on the other two.
The Laguna Seca/Santamonica also wear a rear wheel plastic shroud that attaches to the swingarm, whereas the Montjuich is bare and so the swing arm does not have tabs to attach the shroud.
Only The Santamonica has braided steel brake lines.
Only the Santamonica has the black front brake calipers ( like the 851 tricolore)
Some Laguna Seca (97) came as biposto, all Santamonica were biposto and no Montjuich were biposto.
The decals on the Montjuich where different and diferently placed to the other two limited edition models.
I have seen two very low km and original LS bikes with braced rear swingarms, like on the 750 Sport.
The master cylinders on the Montjuich are round, those on the others are rectangular.
The front fender on the Montjuich is unque to that model, the LS and Santamonica share their style, which is kinda like the 750 Sport.
The original tyres were diferent on the Montjuich to the other two.
The screen was diferent on the Montjuich to the other two as is the fairing.
The original exhaust was diferent on the Montjuich to the other two.
The front forks, and fork decals,are different on the Montjuich to the other two.
The rear shock is different on the Montjuich to the other two. Different does not mean better.
I had a great LS and tried to make a Montjuich out of it but it drove me crazy. I ended up selling it, and all the parts, and kept my Montjuich. I feel now that a LS should be kept as an LS as it a fantastic bike. At most I would change the wheels to 900SL Marvic wheels (not 16 inchers) and put 320 mm floaters on it, put a verlicchi exhaust and that would be it. Still not a Montjuich but what else is?
