Hi fellas, Has anyone had experience with an eBay seller called City of Collectibles? Mines a 1980 XS650, and the frame is standard with back hoop. Do they fit well? And are there many mods needed for them to bolt on? Any help is greatly appreciated. Ta Will

I've finished just about everything else on my rebuild but left the scariest bit to the end like a lot of people - so on with the wiring.
