    Ahoy, just picked up an 86' XJ 900 on the weekend. Pretty clean with 34k on the clock (apparently)

    Have a bit of an oil leak from the clutch cover gasket, anyone recommend a place i can get replacement parts online or in-store in Melbourne, Aus? I've searched online/ebay but can only seem to find full gasket kits..

    Should i just attempt to make one from cardboard?

    I'll be changing it up a bit, and looking forward to some suggestions! My inspiration is from Bikeexif mostly, but always open to new ideas!

    Bike runs well, my changes will be mostly aesthetic.

    Bars, Mirrors, Indicators, side covers, reverse cone exhausts, chop rear & apply new seat arrangment, new tank etc...

    All over time of course $$$

    Cheers, Stu

    Yep, it was recently on ebay. The paint job is a bit rough, but plan to remove the painted parts.

    Thanks re: the gasket link. I'll check it out
