+2 on the steel tank, as long as you can find the right one. there are too many problems surfacing with the plastic tanks IMO.

Just to clarify "what the right tank for your bike" is.
(this is for any/everyone that wants to swap from their current plastic tank to a steel tank. the only exception is the testa engine Monsters as they're VERY different underneath)

Any steel tank from 2002 or newer or a 2001 S4 tank will work fine as long as you also get the fuel pump, fuel filter, gas cap ring and hinge assembly.

The tanks that will NOT directly fit are:

any carbed tank or any M900 FI tank from 2000 or 2001

The carbon tank is different than the steel.

I think you need an '03 or newer steel tank for the S4.

I might be wrong.

That should be correct. I have an '02 M900 and when I was looking at new tanks for it I was told an '01 S4 tank would be an direct match. They have the same gas tank internals, frame and they use the same air filter box, which determines the cutout under the tank, so it should be an exact match.
Two wheels good. Four wheels bad.

Ok, after reading through the thread I have two questions.
1) is an 07 695 tank any different than the +02 monsters?
2) is an 07 695 tank plastic like the new S*R or metal?

Both, plastic... As long as is not an S4RST ...It's totally different. downloaded all parts catalogs from Ducati webpage and compared tanks, S4RST, not compatible with any other except S4RST.
