Hi.

It can be done, but you need to make some modifications to your frame.New brackets to hold the tenere tank.
The Tenere allso has it´s airbox on top of the engine,Im not sure if you can stick with the original one on your bike or if you have to get one of those as well,maybe someone else here knows.
Why not go for an aftermarket big tank,like acerbis or something?
