Long story short, I lent my bike to a friend who decided it was a good day to wreck it.  The mechanic says the dent cant be fixed and now I'm looking to get a new one.  I found these two on ebay but am unsure if they will fit my 2003 800ie.  Any advise would be appreciated.

He also ruined the headlight bracket and handlebars so I'm looking to upgrade to some clipons and a new headlight unit if any body has any recommendations on these.

no on either of those tanks unless you convert the whole fuel pump assembly as well, as your '03 m800 has a metal tank with an internal pump, whereas these tanks are for a later plastic tank bike with a bolt on fuel pump flange unit into the bottom...

Is your mechanic a body repair man too?

I'd have a pro look at it.

He doesnt do body work but has a guy come in for that stuff.  The bike is at his shop so I cant take any pictures but the dent is the size of a softball and goes across two of the creases in the tank.  I also found this tank but was hoping to find a red one to match the other parts.  Any ideas?
