It could be cleaned up quite a bit more. My opinion. Instead of the chunky oil tank swing arm, Make the whole swing arm tubular and stick the oil in the tubes. Next, front header pipe route so so, but route the rear out back and down into the rear of the muffler. Much cleaner. Third, intake on the side? really? Let's not have to see it. I know I'm being brutal. Not apologizing at this point either. Another duh moment here....How heavy does that front wheel/brake assembly need to be? If we are going with cast wheels, go with XB stuff. It really needs spoked wheels to make me happy. and one disc perimeter brake on the front at that. I want to see through the bike in front of the rear shock. Throw a shorai up in the tail if you have to. That muffler is ugly, How about side by side glass packs with the front cylinder exiting the rear on one side and the rear cylinder exiting the front on the other side. And make it two different length mufflers to get a better exhaust note.

That rendering looks very nice.

If this or their other offering had been available when my TT got totalled, I'd have kept the wreck to build one.

Trouble is John that if your XB has an accident & the frame is even scratched it's a total write off for the insurance.

With a kit like that you can resurrect your bike.
