Trailer it to a wrecker and see what's going to look the best.

SVs have great looking tanks.  It'll never work, though.  The B4 is pretty flat underneath.  The SV drops a lot in the back.  You'd have to tilt it up really high in the back to fit it.  You're right, the Gixxers have super-wide tanks.  That's one of the reasons I went with the F3 - I wasn't comfortable on the Gixxers of the same vintage.

I  need air box space under the gas cap. I can remember but I think the bandit tank isn't like that.  If I get positive feedback from some gsxr guys I'm going to get another bandit tank and use a external fuel pump like from a 900rr or another bike bike.
