Hey Randy, it looks great! I have a 72 and 75, and haven't studied the newer bikes or specials, but it appears that you used the fender mounts for the signals and modified your fender mounting. I love it. Very clean and simple.View attachment 170882
Well, my "Doomy" project has been completely ignored lately unfortunately. As a matter of coincidence, just this weekend I cleared out my too small garage just enough to get a current pic.
All the wind has left my sails for my motorcyling garage time during this pandemic shut down. That and Summer time came. Some of the XS650.com members should realize after the years. I contribute bike threads that I mostly work on my bikes after the holidays. During winter hoping for a spring completion. Well, that just didn't happen with Doomy. It got to difficult to source and complete the project for now. I still have no usable front brake lines or even a usable seat. I have however continued finding a few bits such as a nice front fender to replace my cut down one. And I've sourced Triumph shocks and a great rack for the 78E. I intend to start a new thread about both of my XS's together in the future. They are kinda like sisters in mods now. They will be quite a pair someday.
For now, I can just continue slowly ahead. Playing in the summer time as usual, hoping as we all are for motorcycling to return to a more normal state.
I truly miss bike shows, swap meets, and parts sourcing in person, meeting up with other motorcyclists and enjoying all that.
Pray for those times again.

Current XS Garage times just keep on altering what "Doomy" will turn out like. That little custom seat has taken quite a bit of thinking as well as time.Still trying to bend the stock trim to fit my cafe seat. The needed profile radius is very difficult..
Sure wish I had a 22" Cafe seat ready.
