Need ANOTHER part!!!

Ok...as some of you know, I've had problems with my Tank Vision 250
2i. They are:

1) Mirror mount vibrated off while riding due to no locktite (unable
to get part so far).

2) Front tire is actually a REAR tire (unable to get replacement from
Tank).

And now for the 3rd (I'm REALLY getting pissed off):

Fuel sediment bowl (glorified gas filter) CRACKED (very cheap plastic)
this morning at 0200 when I started the bike while leaving work!

I start the bike, smell gas, look down and gas is just GUSHING out. I
make sure everything is tight check the the filter and there's a nice
crack there!

What the hell is going on with this bike??? I wasn't expecting the
quality of "The Big 4", but I WAS expecting a RELIABLE machine when I
bought it.

To make a long story short, I didn't get home unitl about 0645 thanks
to a co-coworker with a pickup who came in at 0600 (no tow truck
company would help).

Ok..this is REALLY starting to get ridiculous. I've only had this bike
5 months!

I swing by the Honda dealer this afternoon at about 1530 on the way to
work. They can order the part, but they need to know what year the
engine is! Which, of course, I don't know because it's an older design.

I can try checking with Keihin (they manufacture the carb). However,
if I can't find this, can anyone out there get their hands on one?

As always, I'd appreciate some help!
