78 XS11 E first build

[XS11Newbie]

So this is my first build and I'm new to the XS11. However, everything i have found about my 78E has been great. I found a great deal on one that needs a whole lot of work. The previous owner got it running and that is about all he did. It has been cut up and abused for some time so now I'm going to give it some loving. I know its wrong to cut up a frame and chop/bobb a perfectly good bike. However, this bike has already but cut short and so I'm taking advantage of that to make a nice bobber out of it. I'm open for all comments, concerns, tips, info, etc. Currently, it does have an oil leak. At this moment i have not gone deep into looking into yet.

Welcome !
Don't rush, don't be as slow as me but take your time and ask all the questions before doing anything your not sure of !!!! Once you have it running well and stopping better you will be a happy rider !!!!!
