Is there any other tank  that will fit  on our bikes or any other year that will work on the 5th gen

I think  6th gen tank will work for the most part.

Yep, you can persuade a 6th gen tank to fit, will need to trim the edges of the upper fairings a tad as they interfere with the 6th gen tank.

Also, the rear flange of the tank needs to be drilled to fit the 5th gen hinge.

Front two bolts line up perfectly.

You can use the 5th gen fuel pump and sending unit, plus fuel cap in the 6th gen tank no problems.

Here's my bike with a 6th gen tank mounted (slightly disassembled for winter wrenching session):
