My second post and already making questions.
There are dozen of topics about tank swaps between different xs400 models. Although almost every topic deals how to swap teardrop tank to bulkier one. How about the other way round?
Our bike is probably from 1981 (xs400 2A2) and has an original boxy fuel tank. The vision is to create tracker or scrambler so teardrop-like tank is needed. Project has not started properly yet but short introduction can be found here:

Original XS400 teardrop tank does not look bad at all and could be the easiest option/solution. Will the teardrop tank fit without (or with small) modification in place of orginal boxy-like tank? How about differences between XS´s teardrop tanks (size and looks?) Is there any?
Could somebody identify tank used in this sweet bike (XS400 by Herencia Custom Carage). For me it looks like original (quite) xs400 tank. Thoughts?
