If your X1 is still FI you may have your hands full, if carbed my not be so bad.

I have seen an X1 with an S1 tank. The owner did switch to carbs, too, though.

If you can squeeze an S1 tank on an X1, then a late model S3 tank with fuel pump might work as well. Just a thought.

The S3 tank would be just as wide as the X1 tank, though.

The X1 files had something but it was SICK money. Fabricated aluminum! looked sexy.

I have a narrow S1 tank on my X1. I am running a carb though. The seat doesn't match the tank very well at all. Someday I plan on making a new seat but....
