Guess I got lucky. Dealer submitted a recall claim for mine 2-3yrs ago and cat sent a new one.
Check out twisted tunnel out of cle elum WA. He may have some, has tons of parts for various makes and models.
I've got the same, cracked filler neck on an '11 Crossfire 8; Looking to get it plastic welded (best fix) but have yet to find a welder who does plastic welding.
U can use a soldering iron to melt the plastic back together.

Hey BradM8 can you explain where the bracing needs to be done at? I am having a hard envisioning where a brace is needed.
Are you using HDPE plastic for filler rod or something else?
I didn't use any filler.
Just a soldering iron and melted the crack.

It's easy to repair yourself. I used filler from a HDPE plastic bottle (was a common cleaner spray bottle). Cut the plastic up into strips and applied with a soldering iron. Not hard...just make sure you are getting the plastics melted together...almost like laying a bead weld but much easier...just kinda d And mine was almost off the tank...only about an inch left holding it together. Works great now...no issue with anymore cracking or problems.
Soldering iron to melt the crack together then I used 2 part epoxy. Worked awesome.
