It just occurred to me -- I also really like the early 70-71 fender, always wanted to run one of those too. Not sure how that will work with the later fork legs -- one more thing to muddle through...As for the front brake -- I have always wanted an XS650 with the drum front brake, so that stays.
I guess I dreamed up that adapter. Apparently, you can modify this adapter:I'm gonna be doing the same with my next build. Can you give me some info (a link) on that adapter plate?

and maybe modify your leg too, and get it to work. I haven't read all the way through, but the answers seem to be here, in 2M's post #2:
