82 XJ650J Project Bike Medical Partout - Grab Bar Seat Rail

PREFACE: Oh this is just too sad. My husband and I started building project bikes to be able to ride together. We had got pretty far along on both machines when it was discovered that he has a spinal injury that is inoperable (beforehand we had been told that he had a shoulder issue that would be easily fixed so we'd been moving forward with both projects until it was discovered that it was much more serious). It involves vertebra T7 and if he should fall there is a good chance he'd be paralyzed. He's ridden since 1973 and motorcycles were his whole life. He decided to quit the hobby altogether to avoid the temptation so he won't get hurt and put me in a position of caring for him for the rest of our lives. We have hundreds of hours of time in this 1982 XJ650J and a good deal of money as well. So as they say, our misfortune is your gain. We need to part out both bikes to pay ongoing medical bills (his is a different bike, selling elsewhere). So I'll be placing a series of ads here in this forum that detail groups of parts as we go along. Best wishes, Abeja.

This ad is for Grab Bar Seat Rail for a 1982 Yamaha XJ650J Maxim.

I have a box and everything for it, ready to go. It's been completely stripped and repainted and sanded down so it is bolt-on ready. It came out really nice after we worked it over. The paint is really good Duplicolor black epoxy, not just some funky cheapy gloss black stuff. Everything we did to this bike we tried to do top drawer.

Here's the pictures. I just threw a towel on the dryer and snapped them.













Price for this piece is $70.00 plus s/h or make an offer - the worst that can happen is I'll say "No thank you.".

Thank you very much.

Best wishes and be well .... Abeja.

 

What are all the extra holes drilled in it for?

Oh shoot .... sorry Dave, somehow your post got past me.

The holes? Not sure. It's exactly how I got it. They appear to be factory, they are way too straight, centered, and ~well done~ to be something someone did with a hand drill. So I'm afraid I can't answer your question. It seems like the Maxims I've seen look just like this one. I wish I could offer you more of an answer.

Thanks! Abeja ...

 

Another price lowering. I need to move this stuff folks!

$60.00 plus s/h.

 

Bump.
