Is a Roadster tank a direct bolt on for the R3T?

[BigNorm]

Is it a direct fit or is some fiddlin required? I like the look of the Roadster tank over the touring tank. I also believe the Roadster tank holds more fuel.

I'm going to go out on a limb here but I think the simple answer is No.

But with enough time, torches, grinders, etc. anything is possible.

edit: You are right about the quantity, the specs say the T tank holds 22.3L and the Roadster 25L

I've seen it done. I'm just curious to the amount of fabrication that is required.

Hmm proably the hinge mount I don't think the touring has one. I bet the front section of the frame is the same all the way back to the square tubes under the seat then the frame changes width.

Here's what the rear looks like.

Well heck that will make it a bunch easier.

The seat will also need reworking.

Would'nt the instrumentation and speedo be a problem?

I believe the front mount is different. On the touring the bolt holes are side by side with a spread between them. I *think* on the other models it is a fore and aft arrangement of bolt holes on a tab. maybe a non-Touring owner can confirm.
