No, the blue tank was a factory original, bought to replace the orange one which took a dent when I thumbed the starter button while the bike was in gear on the sidestand (shortly after I had bypassed the sidestand cutout switch).
The bike lurched forward and toppled into a lampost.
Turned out to be a blessing in disguise though because I love the blue tank.
The other orange bits (seat cowl, mudguard, bellypan) were replaced with carbon, largely to avoid a costly respray.
That too was a blessing in disguise when I later managed to bag matching carbon wheels at a discount price.
