Now use Part Number 8090
This will now require a little work to fit but instructions are below to see and is not a lot of work to do.

the ‘Long Ride Kit’ in seven simple steps. The kit includes a manifold, a fuel tank, three fuel lines, saddle, brackets and bolts.
Ref # 8580
Fitting Instructions:
1. Look at the normal plastic tank how it slots in.
2. Take the front mounting plate for the tank and cut the
front point off it. You need to cut the front so it is a V at the front. This is
so it slots in but clears the map switch. You might need to reduce the external
width as well.
3. Use roughly 5mm of spacer between the plate and the tank,
so there is a gap large enough to slot in the front. Do not use the front
mounting screw, or it will not mount far enough forward into the frame.
4. Unlike the TY there's no mount for the petcock on the
frame. If you want the petcock out the way without building a mount.
5. Use a long M5 bolt with penny washer and 5mm rubber
washer.
6. Slot this through the front drain hole in the tank under
the seat.
7. Mount the petcock to the bottom of the tank, again with
rubber washer, and with a nylock nut. Don't overtighten.
8. Route the tank-petcock fuel lines short without kinking
9. Route the petcock-carb fuel line long enough to allow
tank removal and fitting.
Putting the petcock on the bottom of the tank is fiddly but
the best to keep it self-contained. This way it's very fast to remove when
necessary
