Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 DUCATI MONSTER S2R-1000 (PURCHASED NEW 11/2006), AND IT HAS A PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT HAS BECOME DISTORTED FROM ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE. MY FUEL TANK HAS BECOME DISTORTED ON THE LEFT/ RIGHT SIDES OF THE TANK IN THE AREA WHERE MY KNEES TOUCH THE TANK. THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEMFORMATION AROUND THE GAS CAP, WHICH IS CAUSING THE PAINT TO CRACK. THE RUBBER PUCKS, WHICH ARE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK, SUPPORT THE TANK ON THE FRAME. THE PUCKS NO LONGER SIT CORRECTLY ON THE FRAME, AND THE TANK DOES NOT SIT SECURELY ON THE FRAME. *TR
