They are not a direct fit and will need suitable mounts etc welding on the frame but anything will fit anything if you know how.

The tank is quite straightforward to fit, I put one on a z750 (this has the same frame shape around the headstock and engine) and all that was needed is to weld a piece of bar across the frame for the tank support rubbers.
