Amen savior. First xs650, first build.

That's a sweet amen can you do me a huge favor and measure your axle spacers. I want to hack off the foot control mounts just not sure how to set up mid controls. I have foot boards I wAnt to use too. It's riding season....trying hard not to rush it.
 
ok so i got some more work done. i cut the foot controls off and will put in some floorboards by wed. i hope. started on the battery box and made skirts for the rear fender. i hope to have the frame ready to paint wed. ill try to take more photos of the build. for now i have a new photo.

its been a while since ive been on, but ive made some progress. ill get more detailed photos up later but figured id so whats been done. ive been able to get the floorboards mounted using the peg mounts. matter of cutting them up. i used all the stock mounts for my 75 engine into my 71 frame...had to cut them up a little but got them to work. Some a hole wants 100 plus for his mounts and thats each mounting point...not going to be 300 into just mounts. i got the front end mounted up and the brake as well. hopefully this weekend i can get down to just the electronics. still need to make an exhaust and mount the bars. i guess i bought the wrong bar mounts..oops. i think ill re mount the light its a little high. let me know what you guys think. the rear fender is a bit ugly but like i said learning to weld on this guy. once again upside down photos? not sure wwhy this is happening to me, if someone can help me turn these around that would be awesome... thanks a lot
