That's a useful occupation to be in!
Them thar XS motors are ridiculously heavy for a twin ain't they.

Never quite known why XSs have such a heavily braced front engine mount. Must be a reason?

That's clever Ben. The simple ideas are often the cleverest!
Love the chunky forward controls. Personally I think I'd cut the sides of the rear guard back a little to follow the radius of the wheel, but a nice look.
So are you registering this as a new build? Are Ozzie regulations tough?

yeah must be approved first by an engineer, who does all sorts of non destructive testing and cad profiling
then the govt get involved and slow the process down
we have huge quantities of regs here. any mod to a vehicle requires some kind of ok, unless it was a manufacturers option or fits certain boundries (not major drivetrain or structure changes)
some guys try the "its only illegal if you get caught" approack but then when you get caught, it hurts
engineering will cost somewhere like $1000-$1500 estimated

Same kinda thing here really. Still lots of guys building new bikes & cars & running on old original registration papers. The view is "I've been getting away with it for years, so I'll carry on". Computer records are getting tighter though. Our vehicles need an annual "MOT" (Ministry Of Transport), road worthiness check. If you submit a vehicle for testing & it isn't what the paperwork says it is, they can refuse to test it & the Ministry will automatically be informed & issue an order for you to take it for examination by their own testers. Eventually the dodgy ones will be weeded out, so if you're building from scratch, you might as well do it properly.
