Moving back today to 'entertaining the masses' i think this is more along the RTTL lines than some of the previous days offerings.

I've seen quite a few XS650's done in the dirt tracker style, I think I prefer the ones with a bit more bodywork and larger teardrop tanks.
EDIT:
If you google XS650 and Tracker, there's millions of them.
I prefer this one...

Although I do like the finish on the engine of the first one more.

Looks like a tidy job, but as Bob says, not the best one out there...
Re: YAMAHA XS650 ‘TECHNO TRACKER’ BY GUNN DESIGN
I like the idea of a XS650 tracker. I had a SR500 tracker, in obligatory King Kenny colours, and it was fine for popping to the shops. It was easy to kick start, which chicks obviously dig, but a bit strained at anything above 60.
I thought the 650 might be a bit more long legged. Plus the engine is a design classic, looks-wise.
As far as this one goes I'd be happier with the original tank.

Think there was a Yamaha built fizzie chopper.
Luggy Liam from Brampton had one when I was at Technical college. Looked bloody awful, and the Fizzie Chop was pretty weird as well.
FS1SE? Something like that anyway.
