Replacing tank on a R1200R 2008

Hi

I'm thinking about replacing the gas tank on my R1200R 2008. It's got a dent (please don't ask :oops:)
I really love the look of the new R Nine T scrambler! And I wonder if you think that the frame on that bike is similar enough to my bike to be able to fit that gas tank on my bike. If I'd be able to replace the seat at the same time I'd be a really happy chappy. :biggrin:
Thanks for any feedback on this! :D

Here is a link to my bike on Instagram:

Not without serious modification/fabrication. It'd be far cheaper and much easier just to have a custom shop make you a new tank to your taste - not that that's a particularly cost effective solution either. Maybe just buy a NineT Scrambler?

Thank you for the reply, Karamazov!
Anyone know of a good custom shop in Sweden? Preferably near Uppsala.
Thanks!
