xs750 tank (not the special tanks though) looks nice and fits with relatively few modifications.
This one is from a 1977 xs750.
no welding is required. Just cut the cups from the stock 650 frame and drill one hole thru frame. Use a long bolt and the stock 650 rubbers and bolt rubbers right thru the frame in the place that you want it to match up with 750 tank cups. There are threads on how to do it including measurements of where to drill thru frame
