Started this in Nov just haven't had time to post any pics. Just got all the parts back from powder coaters and starting assembly. Spend a lot of time making the seat, first time, didn't come out to bad. Found a guy, locally who will do the upholstery. Hope to have it done for spring.

Like that a lot! Is that a Benelli tank? What XS did you start with?

Its a 77 that I picked up locally that was in need of some serious work. It had sat outside for a long time, but it ran. Always a good start. The tank is a Benelli I picked up from a guy in PA. It had never been used and was dent free.

What is the rear tire and wheel width?
What size wheels and tires are you running, front and back?

That is killer looking. I'm in the middle of a tracker build but im going to have to get another xs and do a cafe next. VERY NICE!

Both bikes looking good. Looks like black is taken but red would great on the unpainted one. 
Did you retain the frame loop and make the seat hump to fit over it?
I assume the earlier post is a typo and the tires are actually 100/90-19 and 110/90-18, correct?
The end result looks well worth the effort. Nice job!

Yep, typo. You are correct they are 100/90-19 and 110/90-18. Yes cut of the loop and I fabricated the seat myself. The only seats I could find had a hump that was way to high and didn't follow the lines of the tank. Just waiting on PAMCO's advance unit and should have it up and running. Thanks.
