and for comparison:
M900 Eti fuel tank ( I know it's carbie but the mounting points seem the same)

It will probably fit the frame, but the seat, and ignition might be an issue.
I have an 888 tank in the shop if you need some numbers.

thanks for the response
for the seat I would go for something like this :

didn't even think about the ignition though
there was a pic' a while back somewhere here on the forum of an old monster with a 851/888 tank
it may have been some prototype, not sure what was involved
I haven't been able to find the pic now, don't remember the thread
I was initially considering a 999 tank but doing the research it requires quite a bit of frame modding
Was this what you're thinking of?

If so, it came from this thread: Did any of you tried to fit SS tank on monster? (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=60375.0)
yes that's it !!!
