Chris' wooden blocks to fit the 40 litre tank would be enough to put most people off! having seen it close up, I reckon you might have to relocate the battery earth strap on the XRL in order to move the tank further back. the earth strap wasn't needed on the XR6 (for which the tank and frame were designed) because it was kick start. moving the tank back would allow more steering lock, but less seat space. the big brackets that come with the tank rely on lugs that aren't all there on the XRL. maybe you can get lugs welded on? better than lots of cans or running short!
