Hi Dog,
peering at the future through the murk in my crystal ball I see - - - leaf springs.
Oh yes, your next XS650 build will have leaf springs like on a late 1930s Indian.
Except the front leaf is round t'other way so the suspension is a leading link instead of trailing.
And the rear has something cantileverish with the leafspring kinda upright behind the seat tube.
And big ol' multi-disc elbow action friction dampers.
When you gonna start cutting metal, eh?
