Aluminum Fuel Tank for 848/1098/1198 - Ducati.ms

**desmoworks** · Dec 8th, 2009, 8:00 pm

Another new part of the 2010 Ducati Performance Catalog that will be of great interest since it has +10% capacity and -20% weight from the stock plastic tank. The best part? No expanding like your plastic tank! Second best part? The price is great at a retail of $1552.40 - compare that to aftermarket tanks at $2400 for Beater and $3500 for Wilcox (though both have greater than 10% capacity increase, but you get the idea).

We ordered the first 5 that are coming into the US - 2 are sold already so 3 are available. If we see that we need more we'll order another batch.

Place your order now to get yours before anyone else in the US!

I'll post a better image when I can, but this is a scan from the 2010 DP catalog.

Hey Anthony - How easy will it be to swap tanks? what all needs to be ordered along with the tank or swapped from the old tank?

I've removed my tank once but am not sure if there's a fuel pump inside that I need to swap out ...

That price doesn't include paint does it?

Swapping tanks will be no problem - it is a bolt on. You'll need to strip the pieces off your old tank such as the fuel cap, fuel pump etc... Ducati said the tank comes with some hardware, but I'm not exactly sure what is included as I didn't get an itemized list. One of the first ones coming in is going to be mounted on a cusotmer bike here so I'll have more info when we do that.

Hey guys, any update on when these will be available for shipping? I keep himming and hawing but I def. want one. My dealer said they can get them but 'currently unavailable'.
