Great Stuff!!

Am going to enjoy this as I have a '97 900 too and after eighteen years of ownership am quite attached to the old girl.

Nothing wrong with sending bits off to get done either as long as you are confident they can do a good job.

One thing I would say though is if you really must get the whole tank re-sprayed (I think personally I would just have it repaired - unless it is bad elsewhere as 1997 was the last of the factory hand sprayed tanks and you won't see the repair underneath) take lots of photos and dimensions of where the decals are positioned as all too often they get wrongly placed because of how the tanks sits off the bike and then when it's fitted are at the wrong angle and ruin the whole look.
