    Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm planning on eliminating as much as I can from the wire harness. If the bike can run without it I don't want it lol trying to keep it very minimal

    The tank is from lowbrow customs, they did a really nice job with it. That's a 2.2 gallon and they also have a 2.5 gallon.

    Had time over the weekend to get my engine mounted, tank mounted, fender mounted, and started getting my tins prepped for paint. The tank had a few little wrinkles on sides that required a little filler. Also went over the welds to smooth them out nice

    Looks good! What front end/wheel did you use?

    Thanks, I actually took it off a 96 virago that I have. That's what's left of it.

    Nice job robbing the XV to use on the XS. The stance looks perfect.

    Been a while but time for an update for anyone who cares. I guess it's more of showing off than anything. Bike is very close to being finished. Little bit of wiring, waiting on a headlight, linkage for my shifter, and an axle. Gonna sand and buff the tank and get the mounted over the weekend. I've done lots of work, sanding, painting polishing etc. Got a nice custom seat done that I'm very happy with and new whitewall on the rear today.

    Tank is done, still have a little more work on the fender. The color is called soul crystal red which is actually a Mazda color
