Fuel Tank 600 vs 1000 are they the same (or very nearly..?)

Posting to general in the hope that someone lucky enough to own both bikes can answer this :



I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere...[/size]Is the fuel tank on the final 2002/3 FZS600 foxeye the same external size and shape as the tank on the FSZ1000? As far as I am aware there is (I think) a 1 litre difference but don't know if this is down to something internal like the length of the filler head or something similar. I don't have a 1000 near me to compare but from images online the tanks look very similar.Reason for asking is that I'm looking for a tank cover (Bagster) for a 2003 FZS600 and don't know if tank covers for the 1000 will also fit either exactly or very nearly..? I know that covers for the pre 2002 FZS 600 are totally out of the question because the tank shape is totally different.

Actually you’re wrong about the different versions of 600 tank cover,
I bought one that came off a 2003 model for my 2000 version, and although at first i thought there was no way it would fit, once it’s all pulled into place from each sides it fits absolutely fine.
