Neil, you said :

"I only say this as I've never seen any action shots / complete bike shots with the tank open like a sharks mouth !

Now have a look on the following pics.
This shark mouth started on 851 models till 1992 and some 1993.
In order to modify the air intake, the mechanics fixed some adhesive tapes.
According to the shape of the tank, the carbon plate were different between 851 and 888 generations ...
