Too bad.  I've had that experience recently myself. My wife's Monster's tank rusted out very badly. That took a lot of repairing. I was going to throw it in the bin and replace it but same as you, couldn't buy one for her model.
I've had my pantah for 27 years so far....

When I got married my wife and I had been living in various countries and she wanted to stay in the UK for the honeymoon. I naturally decided on a motorbike camping trip round Scotland on my XJ900. It pissed down. I think it was nearly divorce by day 3. Hey ho.
