How many people have had there tank develop a crack!?

Pretty much everyone! (well not quite) The lucky ones catch it before it costs an engine. My RX cracked and I caught it in the fall. I tried to be pro-active on my RS and was going to mount the tank on rubber grommets, and I cracked it while drilling the holes.
Not sure if it is still out there, but there was a guy making absolutely beautiful welded aluminum tanks, selling on ebay. They were a little pricy but cheaper than an engine.

Ya I saw that but couldn’t find order or price. I did order one from partszilla $260 with tax.

Mine started dumping oil in the middle of a trip up north in Ontario. Made it to a dealer on the trail. They didn't have a new tank in their stock of parts, so they swapped out a tank from a sled in the showroom. That dealer was very accommodating. However, cost me a few hundred dollars for something that clearly should have been a recall issue.
