In reply to Sean from boston. the cb had a little snap but ran out of motor quick. the xs doesn't have the snap but pulls harder and longer.

the tank is off of an old aermacchi scooter.

the cb and xs seem way different mostly because of the riding position (seat and bars). u sit on the xs and in the cb. the cb feels quite a bit lighter and has a little more pep but the xs pulls strong and runs really smooth.

I rarely see xs’s done up cafe style that look right to me but this one is SPOT ON! Only thing I would do is hack off that rear frame loop by the seat. It distracts from that wicked tail section! GREAT JOB!!!

Wow I’ve seen that cb everywhere the bike is truly a piece of art I asked because I’m working on a cb450 right now, how do you like it? Looks great ( mine will be hardtailed sporty tank the usual but hopefully it will lOok as clean as yours) how do you like the cb vs the xs?

Extremely well executed build. I agree with the hoop comment. What’s that tank from?

NOT NORMALY MY BAG BUT I’M REALLY DIGG’IN THIS. KEEPING THAT ORIGINAL REAR GRAB HANDLE PIECE ON THE FRAME ACTULLY WORKS ( normaly the first thing to get cut off! and yeah i know its not really a grab handle) GREAT SEAT, GREAT COLOURS, GREAT BIKE!
