    I have been a big car guy for a while but recently got an 82 xj750 seca that needs some work. I am really just struggling on where everyone is getting their parts? How do you use the xj4ever catalog? The two main projects I have going on are valve adjustment so where to buy shims. As well as needing to buy a fork rebuild kit. What's the best way to do all of this?

    You will need to start an IM message in the inbox start a conversation to Chacal , tell him what you want he will send you price and a code to order , if you use Paypal you send him funds , once you do this a half dozen times it is easy. As for the shims most Yamaha dealers garage usually have them, I had to buy 3 from my local dealer 9$ each , there is a shim pool on hear talk to Hogfiddles or Stumplifter can't recall who runs it.

    See the link at the top right corner of every page here? It's THE source for xj parts. It's run by Chacal, aka Len. He'll get you set!

    $0 spent on tickets is always a winner.

    Lotteries run by the government are a voluntary tax. I'm ok with the charity ones.
    It's pretty surreal. One day, I got a govt. pamphlet about the dangers of online gambling and an ad for the casino run by the Ontario government.
