What do you want it to fit? A 400 or a 650?

A word to the wise "universal" is probably a misnomer when it comes to tank fitment.
“Universal fit” is usually slang for universally fits nothing directly.
I used that tank on my cb500t - took quite a bit of work to get it to fit. - rewelding the ears/hooks for the frame rubber. - new rear mount and had to use an external inline petcock which required a custom bracket.
It does look good though.
Gave the square tank/ flat body line look of a factory race bike from the 70s without pushing the seating position/ center of gravity over the back wheel and having to run rear sets.
The 500t frame is quite a bit smaller than the xs (think cb350 with a 500 motor). I think it would be a bit difficult to have your bike look proportional with this tank.

BTW, the XS850 has a double backbone frame. The tank tunnel is wide. IMHO, the XS850 tank is a poor choice for the XS650. Stick with the XS750.
