Too bad.Maybe you can make a big curl in your exhaust like the new YZF450's and route it out the other side so you can use the plate tank.
The only issue I see with the front and rear fender mounts is that that's a lot of shifting weight carried high.
On the other hand,I once strapped two 2l coke bottles to the front plate of my SX on a long ride once.They looked almost factory TM
