Hey Jahimbi, Seems you are in a unique situation here and can give a definitive answer. Does a LTD tank fit a CSR frame? (and does a CSR tank fit a LTD frame???)

Yeah! I've been wanting to ask. What are the differences, if any, between and LTD and CSR frame?

The two frames are identical other than the VIN.

The main differences I've noticed between the bikes:

CSR - laced wheels, front discs designed for the laces wheels, mechanical speedometer, upper triple clamp, more simplistic gauges
LTD - mag wheels, front discs designed for the mags, electronic speedo, more complex upper triple clamp, more advanced gauges
