One definite worry I have is with the gasohol attacking that fiberglass tank. Seems there's not a lot you can do, even with the internal coatings available eventually the ethanol gets to the glass. I do have that original 860 steel tank that I picked up years ago, and might just use that for daily riding. Either list the glass tank or keep it for shows and bike nites. I've heard of folks running ethanol-free gasoline in fiberglass Norton tanks, but I've never seen a pump displaying ethanol-free gas in central Texas.The other thing I really want to do is get rid of that damn ducktail seat. I've seen other Ducatis with a regular seat and the lines look so much better. My research seems to suggest this was a pretty common mod as well as cutting off the frame loop in the back.
