kz1100 tanks

Hey guys, ive tried posting on this topic before and got no feedback. Please help me out if you have any insight. Im looking to replace my stock tank with another shape that came on all the other 1100 models. Does anyone know if theses shapes will fit my frame?? I dont want to drop big bucks for a tank to find it doesnt fit. Below: my bike, bottom tank shape, tank i want to switch too, bottom of new tank

.

Buehler? Cmon, i see people throwing turbos an superchargers on bikes here or building beautiful customs but nobody has swapped a different tank onto thier bike!?

anything can be made to fit. there is nothing about those 2 tanks that lead me to believe they are a direct swap. take yours off turn it upside down and compare it with the tunnel on the one you want to purchase then compare length width etc... allot of altering goes into mounting points either on bice or on tanks to make the incorrect tank fit such as a simple rake in frame can change the mounting point on the correct tank so I am sure a different tank will take similar inganuity

I suspect that you haven't received any answers because no one has swapped out an 'LTD' style tank for a 1100 A model tank. One issue that you'll run into is that these 1000/1100 style tanks that are a bit more 'boxy/angular' e.g. 1100 Standard, early GPz1100, and ELR/SBR tanks, are longer than the smaller LTD style tanks...and long enough that the seat also has to be shortened or moved rearward when using this replacement tank. I do not have access to a 1100 A tank, as you pictured, but I do have standard 1000A series tanks, 1000B (LTD) series tanks, GPZ1100 tanks and GPZ750 tanks...but these won't answer your questions.

Thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully it'll get the ball rolling. The hardest thing about it is that i don't have a model a tank i can measure and haven't been able to find dimensions of one. Based on the pictures of the bottom of the 1100A tanks, they look really close. And i would assume that the frame of the LTD and A, B C models isnt very different in the front except that the ltd has a longer subframe and swingarm. I got pictures of both undersides below:

That square tank is from a KZ1100A and should fit in the tank mounts on your bike, the only issue is how the seat fits with it.

After looking at what you've already done to the bike I guess moving things around won't be a issue.

Thanks guys, im looking into finding an 1100a tank. The problem is finding one thats priced decently and in fairly good condition. Let me know if anyone has one for sale or sees on on ebay. Im looking to stay under $250
