    Hi all,

    My name is Dave and I would like to stand up and shout out that I am a new XJ owner. Its a standard 1982 XJ 650 Maxim US Import originally bought in Iowa - I even have its last US license plate.
    The bike runs fairly ok, though there is a lot of surface rust. Plans for the bike are pretty much down to swapping the handle bars for a straight set and doing something with the seat (its not the most comfortable ride in the world).

    Greetings Turtle and welcome to the wonderful world of XJ ownership. Make sure to hit up Chacal, our local parts guru if you need anything, he has great prices and as with everyone else on the site, has a great wealth of knowledge concerning our beloved XJ motorcycles.

    Rusty parts and fasteners in a pot of boiling lemon juice for a couple of hours works wonders.
