I have a 900i monster 2001 does anyone  know if the more modern tanks will fit  as I am struggling to find a replacement for mine.

Stay away from the '05 up plastic tanks.

On that note, i have a 2006 s2r800... did ducati make any bikes during that year with metal tanks or do we all got the bad plastic ones?  If so, where can we get a metal one?

Did you check that thread?

A new tank will run you well over 2K as all the internals are different.

Just my experience, but I called pro italia and they quoted me for a tank for my 03 800sie and the red is about 1K cheaper than the other colors. not sure why but there it is. 1400ish is what they said.
