The width of the tires is almost exactly twice the width of the wheels, and they're made to go on these wheels. Just so's ya know.

What year 750 is ur tank from do you know? Did you have to modify it to Fit the frame
77 tank. Tanks not modified, but the stock front mounts on the frame are removed and new ones need to be made.

Cleaned all the paint off the tank.
Put a bit of primer on the frame just so no rust forms until i get the time to make the
rear hoop etc...
Also got my tires mounted and installed the new rotor.
What kinda rotor is that your using on the front rim?

I was didnt notice if it said anywhere who made that rear cowl? The shape is perfect with the 750 tank.
This bike is featured today here http://motorivista.com/yamaha-xs650-cafe-racer/
That tail is from Carpy, but my brother made a cooler one if anyone needs one hit him up.

Love this bike. Had a question for you though. I am doing a build with a 750 tank and was wondering if there were clearance issues with the forks/ handlebars and the tank? Did you use the stock rear tank mount location or did you move that towards the rear for more fork clearance? I have seen other people's build threads who have used the 750 tank and it seems like things are pretty tight near the forks at full right or left turn. I was going to use clip-ons and wonder if the clip on bracket would hit. Thanks.
