    Ok guys, havent been on here much as far as posting goes, I have been reading and researching and hiding in the background. I picked up an 81 XJ650 last winter for $200 and it was in shambles!! I have since redone everything and I'm just about done. Let me know what you think.

    Aparently i post pics wrong, but you get the idea. I'm currently on my fourth tank as I cant decide. Im currently wiring and adjusting brakes, hope to be done in the next 3 weeks.

    The rear fender is a Model T spare tire cover the strut is a piece of track from a handicap wheel chair lift. I have about $700 into this bike so far and hope to have it all complete for about $850

    Lookin' good. What did that tank come off of? The tank gives it a (Detroit Brothers) look.
