I'm sure some mods will have to be done but it this the right overall size to work?

Thanks!!!!!

In the words of our 'chopper buddies', "You can make anything fit."  I know this first hand as I have had to perform serious surgery to make a vintage '70's Tracy body fit on my CB750.  You can tell by the pic that I had to cut then 'glass the tank tunnel to fit the frame spine and remove the original side panels then 'glass and bondo in stock side covers to fit over the oil tank and electrical panel. A lot of time and energy.

The Dunstall knock-off is a total of 57" long.  The tank is 30" and looks to extended about 9" or so past the tank tunnel.  Break out your tape measure and determine 'how close' it fits.  Then consider the cost of the Dunstall knock-off, a new seat and your time.  Could be very cool or a hornet's nest.  Good Luck!

Having just gone through a similar (and heart-breaking) quest, here's what I would do; e-mail the seller and get as many measurement as you can. Next, take off your tank and compare it closely with the picture. If you imagine you might have to mod the tank, I vote for leaving it alone.
Dude- your 8 layers are showing!
