when you want something bad enough, don't let anything stand in your way, and don't take "no" for an answer. EVER

TC has an XJ tank on his SH, should be 100% the same as an SG (or an SF).Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

To install a XJ tank on an XS, you'll need to cut the stock XS rear tank/front seat mount off the frame and replace it with the XJ part. The front tank mounts are the same. The XJ rear tank mount is 1.25" further back, so you may have to modify the front of your seat pan, definitely the front seat mounting 'tab'. And before you ask, no, the XJ seat won't fit the XS; the top frame tubes are different and the seat will sit too high (among other problems).Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two
