XS650 Special project

I got some work done on the seat mounting. The rear hinge mount on the frame got cut off and moved forward. I cut the stock seat lock off of the frame and made a new bracket to use a CT-1 flip type latch. I still need to mount rubber stoppers between the pan and frame, and weld nuts for the hinge and latch brackets to the inside of the seat pan. I'm leaning against using the high front fender, so fitted an aluminum fork brace to see how it looks. Still undecided on low or high pipes right now.
