Yah, but download it now, and it'll say 996.
Shouldn't really matter, as the under-tank configuration is the same as the 916/S4, and the head castings are same externally.

it's so annoying that they still do that in the manuals!

Fun times sorting this all out. Thanks for everybody's input on the model designation. Using the nomenclature S4, S4R and S4Rt (or S4Rs) for the various iterations seems to be the clearest for my simple mind.
And it looks like I'll be in luck should this work out.

My biggest confusion was that the original S4R had a metal tank and they switched to plastic. The metal S4R tank is identical to the S4's and the plastic S4R tank is identical to the S4Rs, so you'd think they all work, but....

At this point, I am waiting on the prototype.
I plan
three
four versions of the tank:
A. Straight replacement for the plastic-tanked two-valve models. Just put your tank parts on the replacement (pads, latch, filler, and pump assembly) and go.
B. Modified replacement for the metal tanked EFI two-valve models. Updated design for the fuel pump MOUNT. Fuel pump will be mounted from the BOTTOM in the same fashion as the plastic tanks. You will get a bottom flange cover that has a clip and wiring plug hole for your current setup. Minor work required to move everything over.
C. Modified replacement for the metal tanks CARBED two-valve models. Same as B above except you will need to source a low-volume pump from a carbed SS, a wiring plug, a filter and some hose. You'll need to splice the wiring into a switched power source on the bike. Directions will show how to do all of this. The flange cover will be similar to B above. Alternatively, you can just leave your current pump and filter in place and use a pickup mesh in the tank.
D. Drop-in replacement to fit S4RS models with flange cover and instructions for use with metal tank models S4/S4R.

Do you plan a straight bolt on replacement for the S4Rs?

Yes.
I have an S4RS tank and have found it will fit both S4R and S4 models with little modification. So there will be one 4v tank coming.

Finally a metal tank will be available for the S4RS! Thanks.

Ready for tank 3 on the S2R1K, but thinking about waiting for one of these...any update on when these might be available? It sure would be nice to have a tank that isn't gonna swell.

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
