[scrapps]

A tank for a 900ie (2002)
condition not important as long as it can be repaired and resprayed.
want a new look for my monster but dont want to remove the metal flake and 8 coats of laquer from my tank.

Thats a very nice job and good that its painted on.

Yes GT the bike is running well now and I have lots of dyno prints to see what was the problem and how it runs now.(5bhp down but smooth thru all rev range)

No PD the metal flake is ott but I still like it. I just had a idea I wanted to try and also a new look monnie for the mill next year.

Sorry HC its not going to be very shiny :look:

What was the main culprit in the end - was it the throttle bodies as suspected?

Hi, If you still need a tank, I've got one for sale with no dents if interested. Please let me know.

Nice work (as usual) Johan.

It was a mix of things mostly a mismatch of parts. after lots of test rides with baffles in/out race/normal air filter and open/normal air box tops being moved and a few dyno runs a good comination was found and the fueling tweeked. It now runs smooth but around 5 bhp down on the set up I had.
The race pipes and air box gave more power but messed the fueling up at the bottom end. I am happy to loose the bhp to have a smoother ride(untill i find a cheap power comander that is)
I would like to thank Pro-team DHR and Laguna Ahsford for all the fantastic help they all gave and all the extra time they spent sorting the bike.(I will try to stick with DP parts from now on)
