My latest build - Ronin 1979 XS650

I would really like to see more pics of the seat too. I have an '80 special that is stripped down to the bare frame right now an the rear hoop on mine look like it is much higher than yours. Did you modify it, or are they different year to year?

I'm out of town for a bit, so I can't take any photos at the moment. I've got some pictures from the build process though, maybe they'll help for now.

Any more build picks of the seat? How far in does the rear fender sit under the seat, I'm trying to figure out how much arch or wheel clearance is needed at the back of the seat.

Here it is as of now, lowered the headlight and the bars. Still feel like something is off with the light. May go and try a smaller bucket and setting it closer to the forks.
