From what I understand, yes, dealers were allowing ppl to get whatever color they wanted. 

Everyone should get something other than yellow, even if they have a yellow bike.

A friend showed me this place.  Not that I want to spend money on my own tank but it'd be nice if ducati just gave us aluminum tanks

I read that Al causes problems in an uncoated tank as well.

uncoated?  in what manner?

if it is properly anodized, it should be impervious to any solvents, including gasoline, ethanol, etc.

Thanks for the link.  I have an e-mail in to see if the fuel injected version of the tank fits the testastretta models or not.   I'd love to get one of these, have DucPainter paint it in oem colors and striping and lettering, and then put my oem replacement tank on the shelf until/if I sell the bike.   I honestly don't expect the oem replacement tanks to last any longer or perform any differently than the ones they are replacing.

that sounds cool.. maybe leave one stripe unpainted to show the metal underneath..

or anodize the whole thing.
Got a kid in private school, so the last thing I'll be doing is forking over 2k+ for a new tank.  Sad
I hope the new ones are better- anybody heard of a replacement going bad yet?
