mocking up the new tank 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Here is a link to my first tank mock ups. Tank is sitting a bit high as the motor mount interferes a bit but its close to how it would sit. I also have comparisons to the stock tank. I tried the new one forward and all the way back to the seat. I have a number of things I will change like the stock fuel pump which is under the side cover will go away. Fuel outlet on new tank I made sure is on the right side, distance from petcock to carb is a couple inches so I can get rid of some plumbing. Notice how much more engine you get to see with the smaller tank.

That is Mr. Cancilla's air kit : home made bracket, a custom badge of your liking and what appears to be the RA-066V k&N universal filter. I did the same thing, no badge yet though.

Here is the original thread...air cleaner

It's something that you can put together yourself, but I'm pretty sure he would whip one up for ya if the price is right.. You could shoot him a pm...
