There are the total of 3 tanks:
KZ1300: 20.5 & 21.4 litres (peanut-tank/ the round one and the more cubic one as shown on the photo)
Z1300 & (K)Z1300 B1: 27 litres

sorry, no idea about the dimensions though I believe that the square-ones can be easily changed.

If you fit the LARGER Euro / Touring tank to a KZ, the R/H handlebar switch is different as the throttle cables comes out of the BOTTOM on the KZ switch and out of the TOP on the Z switch, to allow for the larger tank.
