XS650 Special project

I got a basic Bates style reproduction bottom mount 5-3/4" headlight for the '79. Looking at the dirt bike bars I'd planned on using I noticed the ends were too short for the master cylinder to fit, so stuck the Bikemaster Euro bars (that I used before on the bike) back on, at least for the time being. I need to make a skid plate, and then the bike is ready for the finish work.

    I've used dirt bike bars on my 76XS while fitting a Megura hand brake assembly with integral master cylinder to save space... pretty sure it was from Mile's XS... All the best:-)
