So Ducatiz, how's this looking?  What would you say the chances are of this venture coming to fruition?  I just got my '06 S2R and love it, but find myself concerned with the expanding tank.  It's not so bad that they will give me a new one I'm sure, but it probably will be (at this rate) when I am no longer eligible.  Between that and the proposed E15 and the effects on small air cooled engines has me a little stressed out.  I have to say thanks for even attempting to find a reasonable solution for us.

Tank is going to the mould in the next week or so.  I'd say the 2v tank will be close to 100% and the 4v tank 75%, depending on the fitment issues. 

I'm having trouble finding someone with an S4 and an S4R to try the S4rs tank on.

"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.

Didn't Venom... offer his S4R?

I have an S4 in Lancaster PA if you need to use it. You're more than welcome to.

Will you replace the flaking rockers, set the valve specs, belts, replace fuel lines/filter, reassemble and set it back untainted?

If so, you've got a deal  coffee

I know the idea is to build a stock looking replacement tank, but another option is to have them (or some of them) built like the desireable RoadRacing aluminum tanks.  The rise at the bottom of the tank exposed the entire vertical head, which looked really trick.

It has that weld seam part of the way, but not where the larger opening is on the Roadracing tank.

anyone know if the S4 has the same tank as the R?

looks aren't important in a Ducati catalog :-)

they are both later style steel efi tanks...  there is a chance they're the same...
