Updating my XS650 Foot Rests


Here is a set of crusty old foot rests I had lying around in a box of XS650 parts.  They were not really good for anything, so I thought I'd hook them up for use in 2013.  First I used a cut off wheel on my angle grinder to remove the foot rests.  Next, I sanded that cut area smooth with a sanding wheel on the angle grinder.  Then these things got sand blasted in my cabinet.  Finally, the left side rest got drilled and the right side got a tab welded to it. I'm not completely happy with the right side tab though and am planning to beef it up before these get powder coated and put on.
