Just shop around.
Many places will let you select the make and model of your bike, so no worries about whether it will fit it or not.

Depends on what you call "better looking".

Ebay or any local swap meet. Great finds to be had. you might even go a motorcycle graveyard (salvage yard) and look around. Remember, most any tank can can be bondo/ re-painted if it is still in decent shape. What kind or tank are you looking for?
