The fitment issues are really only with the '09 and later models. A slight repositioning of the fuel line and pushing the main wiring harness down even with the frame backbone is all that comes to my mind. The '06/'07 KLX250 is basically just like the off road-only KLX300, so fitment just isn't a problem.

Yes, but....
You'll need to use the pull cable only. Ditch the push cable. On the carb, the push cable bracket on top will need to be ground down for the tank to fit. It's fairly well documented. See the FAQs in my sig line.

There's been a few reports of subframe breakage while carrying fuel and in every case I recall they were in rough terrain. Here's the latest. ADVrider - View Single Post - Long term KLX250S review
It looks like your method is much more robust than just setting the tank on the little rear rack.

you may not need extra fuel all the time, which also adds weight
so you can choose when to carry it
then the rest of the time keep it off, have a lighter bike
