Mitch's Clean XS650

Mitch Williams-Wright is the next contender. Mitch has just picked up this nice clean XS650 that one of the Rattlers had spare. Seems nearly too nice to tear apart but that's the plan. First old school Yam for Grinderfest but I'm sure it won't be the last. Here's Mitch...

The bike came from Scott Ward - xschobber on the forum. This week has been spent stripping the bike. At this stage I'm thinking of keeping it soft-tail but will modify the rear sub-frame slightly to get a different stance. Going to aim for a sort of Bratstyle / Frisco look as there has been so many hardtails recently. 
My ideal build would be to do a drop-seat frame but seeing as this is my first build and wanna get it done in six months thats probably a bit too much to ask.
