As well as swapping the swollen tank over this weekend I changed the wheels on my 2004 M1000 for a pair of 5 spokes. I've had the rear one for a while and found a front one at a decent price recently. A while ago I did buy an Aprilia 5 spoke front wheel which is very similar, I ground the Aprilia name off it and sprayed it to match the Ducati rear, but didn't get around to fitting it before I found the Ducati one. Both are ST4R in origin and look soooooo much better than the original 3 spokes. The bike has evolved gradually over the last few years with many small mods.
@Ducbird, note the playful rear shock remote reservoir cover, especially for you. It's more me these days than the Guinness can I used to cover the coil with on my old Hillman Imps as a 'Yoof'.
