Here's the proposed settlement for the Streetfighter, it's a real laugher...Shocked

2009-2011 Streetfighter Class Vehicles: Fuel tank expansion on these models can on some motorcycles cause the painted, exposed tanks to contact the upper triple clamp3 and the radiator cap.As necessary to address any such problem, Ducati will install a newly-designed fuel tank with slightlyreduced dimensions to accommodate expansion and prevent such contact. (Id. I.6.d.; III.F.)

Sorry I don't have any info on other models with expanding plastic tanks...

A smaller gas tank. Yep. That's the ticket!   laughingdp

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Girard Gibbs.  They are the law firm that brought the suit against Ducati.  Really sad thing is, Ducati was talking with Izaac (Ducatiz) about this issue, and they were working on a solution that would work for all involved.  All that basically stopped the moment GG filed the suit.
