XT500 project

With the '79 XS650 back on the road, I decided to take a revisit to my old stagnant XT500 project. I bought this bike in 2008, and worked on it on and off again. I didn't hate it, but apparently I didn't like what I'd done enough to ever finish it up, so went back down to just the frame and engine, and started over. Here is it in a rough mock-up, just seeing how it could look. Now this time I think I can really get into it 100%.

Thanks! That one is from a XS650 Special, but I'm likely now going to use a stock XT fender.
