Can anyone tell me where to purchase the gas tank and seat pictured on this bike.
http://www.vintagebike.co.uk/Bike%20Dir ... 0-1962.htm
I just bought a 1961-62 Ducati Monza and the red bike pictured is my goal.
I am also an amateur and would appreciate any help.
Thank you,

Hi,

Best regards

ah... I assumed the ohter tanks listed were non-metalic too since "polyester" was part of the name.
I don't know of anywhere that sells that tank done up in metal, other than custom tank builders. Certainly an option but not an inexpensive one.
I have thought about building a similar bike out of my 250 but thought I'd go with a Benelli (Wards?) tank instead. it's not as square looking as that one but it is a bit longer than the stock monza tank and narrower than the (more expensive) Mach 1 style tank Ducati used on the, well, Mach 1 and other bikes.
I have a slightly abused version of the tank I'm talking about, but apparently no pictures of it. They show up on eBay occassionally....
Here's a bad pic of what I'm talking about.
No, it isn't similar to the shape you've shown, but I'm not sure the tank you've shown has ever been mass produced in metal.

Hi,
I am afraid it will be very difficult to find a racing fuel tank in steel.
Another solution, if it has to be street legal, is to make the same trick as Ducati did with the 900 Mike Hailwood replica.
They made them with a smaller steel tank within a fibre-glass outer shell to meet new legal requirements.
Maybe not a perfect solution, but at least You can keep the "racinglook" and still meet legal requirements.
Best regards Per
