    Might be more cost effective to fix what you have. What's wrong

    There is a guy I know in Raleigh, NC that has an XJ750 motor to sell, let know if you want his contact info. The only knowledge I have of the bike's history is that he bought it wrecked, front crash, for parts for another project he had.
    Good luck!

    Cost of the engine and shipping to get it more than likely would be cost prohibitive.

    Maybe we can help him fix what he has if its not too bad.

    Sorry for the late reply gents but thanks for the attention. I have all kinds of blow by coming out of the oil overflow and low compression in the third cylinder. The third cylinder was seized so I loaded up with seafoam and it loosened it up but not too notch.. Anywhere I looked pistons and or rings were obsolete. I did find a parts bike locally that I can pick up on Saturday! So that's a bonus

    Check with xj4ever he may be able to get you pistions and rings. Check your cylinders first to see if it needs boring and oversize first and see what Len has for oversize available.
