Finished!




The only thing I had to tweak was the shifter (extend it and move it out from the case more) and the rear brake pedal so it would clear the pipe.
I added my $20.00 windshield I picked up at a swap meet this spring and Rode it for the first time with the tank on lol..

Overall very happy, it rides and handles better than it did on the test rides,
(a true front wheel and new tires and serviced forks help on that front.)
the gearing is about right, I dropped the rear sprocket down to a 45 tooth
with a 16 front I think and it is happy putting along at 50 with low revs.

After I shot these pics I adapted an old rear rack I had around to fir the XL. (still get to mount that today.) So I get to go back to commuting with the bike as I sold my Yamaha two weeks ago.
