81 XS400 Special Brat Build

[Taker]

New member here, first bike for me is this 81 I picked up for a c note. It's 95% complete only waiting on front brake lines and seat to be upholstered. Check out the picks of the build. Feedback welcome.
This is what it looked like when I got it.

More to come.

this is almost exactly what I want to do with the XS I picked up the other day. Great job man. I plan on keeping mine simple and tidy.
Couple questions...
How do you like that seat? was that an online purchase?
How do you like those shocks?
Love those bars. Where'd you find those?

again, great job.
