What did you use for flanges?
Right now it's stock flanges cut in half. I'll make some nicer split flanges when I have time.

I love watching the workmanship you all do during the builds/rebuilds posted here. Fascinates me to no end.

Nice build! Do you have an old thread too? I’d love to know more about your efi setup.
Thanks, it was a long path to go from wanting to build stuff, to actually having the tools and knowledge to do it.
Yep, here's the link for here. https://www.xs650.com/threads/sumotrack.48483/
Ready for finish welding and clean up.
Looking’ real good so far.
Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it looks. Here it is with the seat dropped on.
Now I just have to mount the rear heat shield and do things like round the corners
Starting on the headlight mount. I'm going to use koso hawkeye dual headlight. I was never happy with the light output of the old headlight. I'll get a new numberplate later. Going for similar to what it had, but better.
Lights are mounted. Now I have to get horn mounted and cut a new numberplate to fit.
Well not much progress for the moment. Saving money to get the pipes coated and order the stuff for custom throttle cables from venhill.
While I waited I was going to clearance the clutch cover for the high ratio primaries. Removed the oil pump and found I just need a new cover and pump. I wonder if this contributed the the engine breaking on the dyno. The mating surface on the cover looks worse.

Small update. Got a new side cover and oil pump, clearanced it for the high ratio primary. And I finally quit being lazy and made the rear straps for the exhaust. I used stainless steel packing strap. Not perfect, but the ugly part will be out of sight. Next I need to make a permanent hanger from the frame.
Improved exhaust hanger is done. Exhaust is off getting coated.
Biggest change is a set of carbs will be going on. The microsquirt ecu got water in it and won't turn on. So a linked pair of tm34-b120 carbs will go on. Currently the carbs are on the way from the UK.
New tool category I bought a used dynafile off ebay for $80. This will let me do slack belt sanding in tighter areas.

The UK gets stuff here faster than I expected.
I had an extra sump filter plate in a box, so I'm modifying it for a spin on filter. I know heiden and a few other offered one like it. But what is the point in having machines if you don't use them?
I loves me an ol' Atlas.... 
Same here. Think it was about $200 and 25yrs ago. But yeah... they're great to have.
