Hey thanks,

I think you might be right... doing a side by side on the pics with a '81 looks pretty spot on. Does anyone know if I'd need to do any bracket mods to fit it on an XJ650?

Not 100% on that either but most likely if the tunnel is close the rest is easy

Might just not be "boxy" enough. Anyone know a nice blocky looking tank that will fit on an XJ650.
