i think you need a replica tank. pic your favorite race car/bike/rider and paint it as a tribute.

I love the orange set.  What will you do about your orange painted headlight shell when you switch tanks.  You need extra headlights to switch along with the extra tanks. 

I like this dark green for your next tank.  I saw it on a new Jeep today.

Green is bad luck for a motorcycle.

Are you good at forming metal and using a welder? Why not try something more custom than just a different paint scheme on Tank No4? No matter how creative you are with paint, it's still the same basic canvas as every other Monster tank. It's an iconic shape, but not unique to your bike. How about doing some modifying to the lines, shape, etc. and then adding some cool paint scheme?

If you're not keen on reworking the tank's lines I'd suggest an industrial look. Remove all the paint and decals down to bare metal. Polish a la 1198 Corse. Add some vintage Wing decals or reproduction Scrambler tank badges in metal. Maybe add a centre stripe in black. Then clearcoat the whole thing. It'd look really good with your medium grey/Ti frame colour.
