Not hard to fix. The gold paint on the original holds up only slightly better than the engine paint, LOL. I like the appearance of the grey caps from later Monsters a little better.

There's also a Chineseium cap/ignition/seat lock replacement that fits some Yamaha models on Flea Bay for ultra cheap - looks identical, I had the idea of pulling the lock barrels out so one key did everything.

My yellow 2000 Sie came with nearly maxed-out chain adjusters (and a terrifying amount of chain slack) because someone had replaced the chain with one that had too many links... Yeh, I counted 'em...

The DP cans will probably require a DP ECU to run well - my other 900ie came with open cans and ran like hot garbage below 2000 RPM with a stock ECU. Could barely keep itself running with any load and had to feather the clutch/rev in traffic all the time. DP ECU made it pull like a train from idle.
