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?
'78 Z1-R in blue , '78 Z1-R in black, '78 Z1-R in pieces
My dad's '74 Z1
'00 ZRX1100

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
