I like your approach. I draw what I can too and find it does help work things out. Is the frame a scratch build? My $0.02 cents worth is I'd consider rounding the boxy shape so at least from a side profile is has some curves. Good luck!

Congratulations, nice job!

I like this one too!

Nice job! I just got started on a 78 XS400E. It was helpful to read through some of the things you had to figure out.

Thanks for the comments. First shakedown run complete. No major problems noted. Now on to a bunch of little details before paint/powder.

Very nice! Can't wait to see it fired up.
