Was looking for something narrower at the back and a bit smaller in physical size. Failed in both departments as the 1R tank is actually not that much smaller when held side by side and only fractionally narrower across the back! It could be made to fit but there are other issues with it too that; the fabrication involved would not be worth the tiny advantage it would give. Combined with the fact that Shed tanks go for upwards of £300 i'll look elsewhere!

Does anyone have any specifics regarding this fitment? Photos?
I love the look of the Z1R tank, so have sourced a 21 litre one from Italy which should be here in a week or so. Cheers, Vin.

I thought the USA Z1000J and LTD had the rounded tanks?
I Like the "slab" sided look of the Z1R tank. The standard tank was in my opinion a little small.
