Nice look on the neck, it's really out there. What color are you going with for the frame?

Looks like a great start! Are you doing your own frame work?

How did you mount that to the bike?
I have the exact same girder, (length and everything).. and Im having problems finding steering bearing that will work with the XS650 frame...

i used a HD style neck in place of the xs neck. i then took the neck and ran it on the lathe to bore out the inside of the neck so it could slide ove the hd neck like a sleeve so i could keep the stock vin #'s
hope that helps. you can get a neck like that from places like bitterend choppers. they run around $30 or so.
