That's the S4RS tank.  Totally different.  It's plastic for one.  S4R (no S) had a metal tank.

Here is the S4R tank http://issuu.com/ducatiomaha/docs/ms4r_usa_04_ed00?viewMode=magazine&mode=embed

and it looks identical to the S4.  Anyone?

I am going to say that it is very likely identical save for the decals.  Fuel pump and all the guts have the same part #s

EDIT::::  http://issuu.com/ducatiomaha/docs/ms4rtestastretta_usa_07_ed01?viewMode=magazine&mode=embed

Looks like the 07 models have the same tank as the S4Rs.  So the early S4R bikes have metal and later have plastic. 

No issue, since I am making an S4RS tank and it fits the S4.  We are good.

I am confused on the S4, S4R & S4Rs descriptions in the posts above.
My understanding is that the 996 based monsters were all "S4".
When the 999 Testastretta monsters were introduced they were S4R or S4Rs if equipped with Ohlins. Both the S4R and S4Rs models came with plastic tanks.
I follow this thread with interest but I can't figure out if there will be a tank to fit my 2007 S4Rs.
Any help in clearing up my confusion would be appreciated.

Never mind - the edit above posted while I was pecking away at my post above......

The "problem" is that the early S4R bikes had a metal tank -- same configuration as the S4 models.

The later S4R had a plastic tank, same as the S4RS.

S4 had the 916.

Correct...people also refer the non-Ohlin versions as S4RT to differentiate from the earlier 916 S4R's.

Just to be clear..

2004-2006 S4R models had a metal tank (916 models)
2007-eom had Plastic (testastretta models)
all S4RS models had plastic

but these tanks are totally different on the bottom to mine . . .
Here is an S2R from 2005, p91, that's just like mine . . . Is the shape you're looking for? or the S4R* shape?

I don't know.  Models may be different outside the US.

Is your fuel flange round or oval?

No.

2001 S4 = 916  - Metal tank
2002 S4 = 916  - Metal tank

2003 S4R = 996  - Metal tank
2004 S4R = 996  - Metal tank
2005 S4R = 996  - Metal tank
2006 S4R = 996  - Metal tank

2006 S4Rs = 998  - Plastic tank
All S4Rs and S4Rt after that = 998  - Plastic tank

2003 S4R = 996  - Metal tank

I'm really just interested in the tanks here, but I'm going by what Ducati says on their website.  I don't have one.
http://ducati.com/bikes/monster/s4r/2003/tech_spec.do

2003 S4R = 916cc, 94x66

2004 S4R  = 996cc, 98x66

and here is a screen capture from the Owner's Manual I have on my hard drive:
