Nothing final, got the model in and sent it back with corrections. Coming along nicely. Weight was much lighter than I expected.
Awesome!! My tank is swollen up tight again, so I need to have it fixed under the settlement...or better yet, not screw with ducati anymore and get some metal that doesn't swell.
And I hope that I'm at the front of the line for one of these since I'm both a neighbor and a former purchaser of Ducatiz's stuff.

Once I have a final design that I'm happy with, I'll post photos and start taking nominal deposits. I don't have the pricing yet, the mold cost will determine the price. That should come soon.
The main thing I'm looking for is a drop-in replacement that you can paint or not. You just put your S2r type fuel pump flange on and the filler cap and go.

"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.

I would also humbly suggest trying to add a bit of additional fuel capicity to the tank.
I know I modded my 620 with the 14th sprocket and I'm getting 35-40 mpg. It sucks running to the gas station every 90-100 miles and it's starting to piss off my riding buddies too...

get a tune up and a powercommander. you can run it a bit more lean to get more MPG
in fact 35-40 for a 620 is really low IMO.

The subject line asks, "Would you buy an aluminum tank...?"
Would I? Yes, I would, if I could.
Just sayin'.
