anyone done this? How was the fit? Did the cups and mount line up right?

Looking to fit a breadloaf type tank and between this and the RD400 tank, I like the simplicity of this tank a lot.

Opinions, experience?

Thanks.
 
On my XS I fitted a XS750 tank. It fitted very well, cups and mount lined up fine, but on the underside I had to dent the metal one or two centimeters with a rubber hammer, to clear the cylinder head.

Here more pics of my XS and me. I've been racing the bike since August 2010 in Dutch historic regularity runs. A lot of function, not form. We have about 65 HP. She doesnt have a speedo, but she'll do 195 kmh on the straight. That's 123 mph, I think.'
The frame, forks and swing are extensively strengthened with bracing and cross tubing. She steers very good, although the forks are a bit spongy. But okay, I'm not a light guy.
