I’ve worked with Len on multiple parts orders now — most recently for a fusebox upgrade and a full stainless hex-drive fasteners kit for my 1983 XJ750 Maxim Midnight. But even before that, he worked with me over several days to help me piece together everything I needed for a complete carb rebuild, including proper jets, gaskets, diaphragms, and tools. I was using the “Church...

Recently I bought a old 82' Yamaha XJ550. Long story short, the carbs were lookin like they needed to be rebuilt since the bike kept cutting out, and the bike shop was going to charge me 1,800$ for the whole kit and caboodle. Of course I denied repairs and gladly would do it myself, honestly I was worried it was something else major. This turned into a fix it up bike very quickly.

1. Rebuilt carbs, new air filter, new oil and filter, new spark plugs, and as I discovered, it...

I'd like some input on any reproduction graphics sources any of you have used and would recommend, please.

I want to replace the stock graphics on my 1982 Seca Turbo. When I've searched for sources for that, two primary options are showing. One set from RDdecals.com and one from an ebay seller called SpeedAndSportGraphicsReproduction.

Has anyone used either of these? If yes, how has the quality been?

Any other sources anyone would recommend?

Thanks in...
