I believe Grifo has posted photos of the mount kit on this thread. I'm too lazy to look for it.

The solution sucks doesn't it. That seat will end up being cut down to accomodate the tank swelling, then if the tank ever goes back to original shape the seat won't fit properly. FWIW this FU band aid approach is all spelled out in the settlement, but it is my understanding that the dealer should do the correction at no cost to you. Seems strange to me that they would allow you to do it, then you could claim the kit if faulty. I'll defer to Ducatiz. - Gene
last I checked, Toronto is not part of the US. The settlement does not cover Canada. In theory, there could be a Canadian class action against Ducati.

Sweet, thanks! Grifo, did you experience seat clearance issues? I am assuming this only happens if there's a lot of longitudinal expansion...

Yeah and other corn prodcuing states are the same way. None of the gas stations I went to in Indy had any E fuel, nor did the 2 stations I stopped at in West Ohio. - Gene
Those two states do not require labeling. Here are two lists of states that do and do not require labels at the pump.:

Thanks, I had no idea. Look at that stuff, looks to me like there is a whole bunch of places where you won't know unless you test it on the spot. What a mess all because of something that makes no sense anyway. - Gene

You can pretty much assume if the part of the US you are in is populated you are filling up with E10.

Seat problems will occur if you have to slide the tank backward so that the rubber bumpers on the tank fit the frame. That is why the rear tank bracket has slots. Everytime I post about this the more pissed off I get what a FU solution, settlement.

Did you send Tiz your objection to the settlement when he requested it? if you did, then you should be pissed. By that point I was not in the country, so my objection was irrelevant.

I sent mine directly. And I also sent a lengthy letter directly to DNA. They have lost the sale of two new ducati's, I'm keeping what I have, except for the S2R1000. - Gene

Like I said, in that case you should be pissed simply because you did as much as possible.

I was at my local dealership the other day, ordering tank #3. I asked which new Ducati models had their fuel tank made from the same material... The answer was "pretty much all of them". I love my Monster, but am I afraid I will not want to buy another Ducati until they find something better to use. I try to buy the higher octane fuel to avoid ethanol as much as possible, but there is always some fuel in the hose left over from the person who pumped gas before you. If there is approx. a half gallon of fuel left over in the hose, I am getting 1/6th of a tank of Ethanol "enriched" fuel with each fill-up...

With my Sport 1000, I fill up my truck first, then fill a gas can, test the gas in the can for ethanol, then fill my Sport 1000 from the can. I have successfully avoided ethanol, but this method would be quite a hassle with a daily ride.

For those of you who have uncoated tanks, I wonder if it would be possible to add a drain petcock to the tank.
Using E10 fuel is fine provided it doesn't sit in the tank. If there was an easy way to drain the tank after a ride into a can, and then pour it back in when you're ready to ride, would you?
One of the "features" to be included in my aluminum tank is a drain.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
