It's not easy to measure - there are compound curves all over. It's not actually a tank of course, it's a pair of plastic covers, the actual tank is a much smaller steel one under it.
I vinyl wrapped mine, and used two pieces that were 100cm x 30cm, plus a small (maybe 15 x 30) offcut from those to cover the small strip that goes between the two panels.
That was quite tight on size, a couple of extra cm on both directions would have given room for error.
I think that's about as close as you'll get to measurements, the panels change width/height/contour constantly, there is hardly any part of them that is flat.

Thank you for your reply. Thank you for the measurements. Could you show a picture of your bike, please?
There are some photos in >this thread<
I've since taken the wrap off, as everyone thought it was a horrible colour

I'd love the decals from the Yellow MT07 for my Race Blue/Silver bike...
To be fair, it looked much darker in the photos of the wrap, when I bought it online.I must admit I kind of did think that too

I thought about Yellow, but now it's an official colour it's not so appealing. I might do something a bit more fiddly for the next one.
Fairing?
Apparently the 'guidance' now is that if you change the colour of the vehicle with a wrap, you need to get your V5 updated.
I didn't, it would be a pain in the arse to have to keep doing that, but presumably I'd have got a ticket if a copper stopped me and was in a bad mood.
