    Hi
    Due to losing access to some of my lock up storage I am having to dispose of some of my bikes/spares. I have 4 xj650s in various stages of disassembly along with some additional spares and an xj750 engine. Three of the bikes are registered in my name, one of them on a Q plate.

    These bikes will need more than a quick wipe down with Henry Coles oily rag to get going, but there are plenty of bits to make up at least one reasonable bike.

    I need to move them on fairly quickly or they will end up at a scrap yard. I am not really interested and do not have the time to sell off individual parts. So, if anyone can take the whole lot, they are yours to pick up for free. The bikes are located in south Wales.

    Regards
    Charlie J

    Ya think??

    I had ONE....... then I found out they don’t need a cross-pollinator. They’re like amoeba’s.... a little piece breaks off and it grows into another bike...... and the can replicate, too.

    All four of them tucked up in my workshop. Not decided yet which one I will build up first. They are all Secas, and I’m very tempted to make one up with the 750 engine, maybe with some mods to the head to improve performance, maybe with bigger carbs etc.
    Big thanks to @Charlie J for being so helpful.
