Has anyone tried fitting the Camel Adventure rear tank on a 450l?

I want to ride in some Rally Raid races around central europe. In those I need 150-200km range minimum. I ordered the nomad 11l Tank, as I personally find the IMs tanks too wide and bulkyWhile doing research I mostly found tanks for full blown rally machines costing 10k+ or kits for KTMs/Husky and 300L/rallys. This made me wonder if I could fit a rear tank to the subframe similarly to how its mounted on the 300L.
Id ofc have to modify the mounting brackets but otherwise it should work right?
For the fuel transfer I thought either a second fuel pump or a fuel transfer pump could do the job.

Looking forward to some good inputs or ideas

Hi all!
I got the 5.7 Gal (21.5l) Tank from IMS. Mounting was a breeze and the quality feels decently high. However I do feel like it has a bunch of caveats that shouldn't be overlooked.

1. Weight distribution

with the tank being the way it is the bulk of the fuel sits above the saddle, wich makes the bike very top-heavy. When fully tanked the bike feels noticably sluggish

2. usable fuel volume

I was surpsied to have the fuel light light up after around 12l of use, riding downhill, doing stoppies and wheelies on a closed course ofcourse helped it and after around 16l I had the first bog. I was doing mostly calm street riding for a few days but still I feel like only being able to use around 4.5 / 5.7 gal (16l/21.5l) is a bit of a design flaw

3. Cost

living in central europe as a petrol head is hard enough and the tarifs of the orange man defo didn't help. on top of the 400.- for the tank I had to pay almost 200.- in shipping and fees, for EU riders please keep that in mind.

I'm looking for some alternatives now, preferrably in a rally style.

I've looked at the MST rally tanks wich look great, however they only come in a kit and I dont think they would fit around the original exhaust (wich I cant swap because of EU laws yey)

does anyone of you have an alternative or will I have to lear aluminium welding to get the desired result?
