No need, figured it out. Things get though when your engine is out for a service.

Hi JB, thanks for the measurements. They are meants as a width reference for a Petrol tank I am building from scratch, fiberglass and kevlar over polyurethane foam, that sort of thing. If the tank was bigger/wider than the engine the bike would look podgy IMO.
