Thank you

Pattheswede said:Really like the style of your build!
Rearwheel looks bigger than standard and looking good
Only thing that might could be a bit more interesting is gastank... we got 3 xs650 bobberkindof builds in our garage, all with same gastank (or style) .... not saying it doesn't fit your style... but there must be others...
Anyway, will follow your build.... like it!
Tim said:Not sure if you're done with the frame yet - have you added any bracing between the plates where the swingarm pivot mounts and the center downtube of the frame?
It's a common mod - the frame flexes a bit in that area, especially on the earlier frames. After '72 they added a bunch of extra bracing but still could benefit from it.
You can see mine in one of the pics on this page - from my XS build thread. You'll see the bracing tubes running from just below the swingarm pivot holes to the down tube.

jdizon said:Photochopped another tank on the bike. What do you guys think? I was planning to use it on my other bike but I think this
might work. Problem is frame is out for powder coat and mounting this new tank would mess things up. What to do.

jdizon said:Thanks for the positive feedback
Rich Ard said:Ha!
I think the tank looks cool. Or silly. Maybe both, but it's definitely cool too.
