19 Litre tank

I just take the tank off. I don't drain it, take it off and stick it in the corner on the carpet

So you need to keep the fuel line pinched otherwise you will have a rather flammable carpet. I only drain mine cause it makes it easier to work with. Less chances for accidental mishaps.

All you need to do is unbolt the tap from the frame and disconnect hose that feeds the carbs, only a 8mm head bolt, done it a few times with Carl when we removed pair system and stick coils

That means you wont need to change to a varadero tap

on the off chance one can get one's grubby Geordie fingers on a larger tank (2004), can all the fittings from the smaller (1997) tank be reused?

Don't forget that the smaller tank has a fuel level sender unit not a float. The later tank had to accommodate the digital dash with fuel level gauge, not just a light.

You beat me too it.
