    Hi guys and hopefully some girls . I was fortunate enough to pick up two 1982 XJ650RJ s this year one has a title and one doesn't, and both need some tlc . I'm looking forward to this project, and from what I hear this is the place to go for anything XJ.

    You heard right. You also found two of the least common U.S. model XJ.

    Read both links in my signature and do all of the things.

    If Wisconsin is a difficult state to get a replacement title in there is a workaround. Vermont is your friend.

    Love the big round light on those 650s. You planning to fix em both up? They look too good for either to become a parts bike!

    Great Score! Those are kind of rare and to get two in one shot is pretty cool!

    Home made maple syrup?
    Cooked over an outdoor hardwood fire for hours?

    Sounds about right to me! ;)
