"where'd I get the tank for the XR and will it fit the Dominator?"
well, I got it from Bert Harkins the UK importer for Acerbis stuff. Both he and Acerbis tell me there are none left as it was made for the XR600 about a decade ago. You might find one on ebay? Its almost 45 litres and the coolest thing is that the bike still handles really well: I've ridden it hard on the MX track with that tank, but they made me take my luggage off!
it didn't really fit the XRL - I had to modify the tank (against Acerbis' recommendation), shorten the seat and have fittings welded to the frame. I also had to relocate the regulator rectifier and raise the bars. you'd have to do all that and more on the dommie.
you're probably better off with the 23 litre Acerbis + 10 litre jerries or getting something made specially for you. I have a contact in Russia if you want a funky titanium one ... but you'd have to go there for them to make it while you wait ;-)
