I've recently got hold of a 2001 fuel tank for a monster 900 dark.
is it possible (or has anyone done this!) to modify it to fit a 1999 carb version (my bike). I wanted it to replace my dented original.
Whilst it looks the same initially and will offer up to the bike ok there seems to be a number of major differences:
The filler hole seems massive? with no apparent fixings for the fuel cap?
Inside the tank there is a lot of piping and also some spring clamps which I'm guessing is for an internal fuel filter? The filter on my original is outside underneath the tank.
Finally, there are four metal pipes which come out of the underside of the tank. Is this something to do with the tanks suitability for later fuel injected models? what do they connect to?
Any help/advice would be great as this tank I got for a bargain and is brand new (New Old Stock)
cheers
