I just bought a new OEM when mine was leaking around the seam. It's been good now for 3 years.

I did see some lovely ProAlloy header tanks when I was at 1320 the other week. I think they're about £132 + VAT. They have an alloy twist cap rather than the plastic OEM with rubber seal that you can damage if you over tighten.

I think the facelift ones are stronger, could be wrong though
