05 R6 Tail Swap Questions

Hi all working on my Covid bike project and looking for some feedback. I need to redo my subframe and wanted to see about fitting the 08-16 R6 armour bodies superbike tail as opposed to the 05 one that looks like a block on the back.

Generally I am trying to see if the fitmit around the tank is the same on the 08+ as the 05 R6. Best case if someone in the Richmond, VA area has a 08-16 tail I could test fit on my bike would be great!

Assuming fit is close I would have a custom subframe built to adjust for the new seat/tail bolt locations.

Also let me know if you have ever done anything like this or if I am going Corona Crazy....

They look very different. Newer one looks a lot smaller.

I have a 03 R6 with the block type tail. I have seen some that are more rounded tail.

Good luck with it.
