Hey Tunz, what happened to the other seat you were working with? I like carpy's seats, I have one of this in one of my bikes, but I don't think this seat looks that good on a XS. To big a rear IMO

I decided to go with a pre-fabbed seat just to save some time really, but I'm really diggin on the carpy seat. I'll eventually use the other seat pan on a future project. I really gotta get me arse in gear and get this bike back on the road, startin to get some good weather here now and will soon be movin into my house. Gonna need the bike for transportation! Did I mention I worked a 1978 VW Camper van into the deal with the house...inspected and everything 68,000 miles...cant wait to rip round in that rig!

havent been on here in quite some time, I actually bought a 2001 sportster and have been spending most my time messin with it...but alas I started the old XS650 up again today...new plugs, battery and clean carbs and she started first kick! Check er out...still need a seat setup, sold the carpy seat to a buddy of mine with a cb750...think im gonna go with somethin a lil lower profile.

lemme know what you think! ideas??
