The "mechanical" interface is a couple of receiver channels on the under side of the front end and a bracket with a bolt hole on the back end. If the dimensions are similar but not the same you'd not likely see a difference.
The fuel interface is with the fuel pump, not the tank itself. The fuel pump is part of an assembly that also has the float and sender. If you are swapping out the tank, you'd ideally want to use the same pump to save money.
The easiest way to tell (I would think) is to look at the part numbers for the tank and the pump for those model years and see if they are the same. Even if they aren't, things still might work, but if they are the same, you should be good to go.
Update. I looked on the Samurider site and their K10 tank fits everything from 2010 to 2021....so the mechanical fit underneath the tank must be the same and the fuel pump hole pattern / gasket must be the same.
@tommymck
That helps a lot !!! Because each tank comes with a different Honda part number (for manuf.year and color), which is confusing and doesn't help to know which tanks fit a bike or not ... apart from the obvious change in 2017.
From what you say I take that if my pump fits the tank, the rest is easy. If my (new) tank doesn't fit I could buy a matching pump too, and make it fit that way. And with your update it seems that even this is all worth a try with little risk. But it would still be great if you could send me (or post) that picture.
Big "hug" in advance !
