One of my buddies has the carbon fiber version (or a very similar one at least).

Check my thread. You will see one. The only way you can turn that into a tank is removing the airbox and makin a cubic shaped insert tank. Eventhough it sits higher thank the stock faux cover its not high enough to get extra room for an actual tank. I thought of that (gravity fed tank to the lower one) when i was in process of buying it and even discussed that with the seller and ended up not doing nothing... The initial thinking was making the stock cover as lower face and this one as upper face of the tank and fiber everything up. I think you wont get even a gallon...

See, great minds always thinkin'!
I am not sure where your thread is. "Yeti" album is devoid of pics, would you please post it (the link)?

The shape is interesting, but I would like to see one on a bike to see how it flows into the lines of the bike w/stock scoops. From "WW's" post, it doesn't sound like it is a good choice for extra fuel. Too-much work to be done & not enough capacity. Doesn't Exactrep have some aux. tanks?

I don't think either one is a good choice to make an expanded tank out of really, the Over is super thin, flimsy carbon fiber and the Manta Ray is fiberglass.
Exactrep has expanded tanks but to me they look like the head on a Beluga whale or a knot on a dogs ass...But that's just me...

I like those Ti turnbuckle frame braces in round tubing from OVER. Pay to play!
