This set of carbs were off of a running xj650rj seca. They have been setting in my garage for about a year now. I am selling for $95 + shipping.
I purchased mind off of ebay and it was for a Triumph Thurxton. I had to mod the seat but it worked great. And you can get one brand new so no...
Looks like we all have the same taste in racing stripes.
I was in a meeting on base. You could see that anger in everyones eyes. There was a nervous anticipation in the air because everyone knew we...
I also have one on both right and left side of my seca 650. The left one is used for putting the bike on the center stand and the a passenger can...
Love that tank paint scheme, or lack of paint scheme. Whats the next step for you?
Where did you hit on your helmet? Glad your okay. I hope you are able to fix you bike up soon. Cheers JBL
I know I did not help with the issues at all but it is good to see another Seca in the bay area. I took mine out for a ride to Big Sur on the...
Welcome Radster. Good to see another Cali kid.
It's not a bike you would take on a cross country trip. It looks like it was made for cruising. Just to turn some heads. I still like it.
Very inovative. I like it. I like anything with some style to it. How does she ride?
I didnt have any problem finding my handlebars at any of the local bike shops. I got drag bars for mine and they were like 20 bucks. Everything...
I must be blind. I have not even noticed that this post got so much feedback. Good idea with using the connectors lefty. In retrospect, I...
Actually if I can find a virago rim with a disk on both sides of the rim, that would be best because my seca currently has a disks on each side....
I would imagine I can just cap off the additional line and just use a single caliper right? I sure hope I can get these spokes to work on my cafe...
Went to the junk yard this weekend and they guy wanted WAY TOO MUCH for the virago rims. $700.00. I just about laughed in his face. Anyways, I...
Thanks for the help PainterD adn Siinky. I will give it a try as soon as I get some scratch together. Sorry to get so far off topic...
What do you guys mean about putting a washer in the exhaust. You mean like a flange or something?
Thanks PainterD. The shorties I am looking at are from Dennis Kirk. http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_c ... Id=p431287 I will have...
I am going to check the bone yard this weekend to see what I can come up with.
Thanks PainterD. I am definitely going to put them on. Any idea if I need to buy baffle plates along with the shorties? I seem to remember...
Does anyone know if it is possible to put spoked wheels on an 82 xj650rj? The mags I have on there now are cool but I would like to find some...
Fattgebast I have the same question about your exhaust. What does it sound like? DodgeitRamit Great looking maxim. I really like those...
I look forward to seeing the finished product. From the looks of it, you can make your Cafe unique. I think you will find that riding a Cafe...
Looks like a fun project. I hope you get it done before the rain sets up up there.
Was this the bike on SF craigslist? If so, I was looking at the same bike. Looks like a good deal.
If I had the money, I would be getting a Thruxton myself. I tried to model my bike after the Thruxton. Even the racing stripe is similar to one...
Tony I just shaved the original foam down with a hack saw blade then had it covered down in San Diego. I would have liked to use the original...
I have drag bars on my bike. I am thinking about bending them down just a little bit more but Im not sure yet. Along with the drag bars, I have...
Thanks Ease. Seeing the work you did on your bike, that means a lot. The seat did take some time to make but I really like the cafe look. I...
Here is a pic with the cap off the seat. I hope you guys like it. Cheers JBL
After many modifications, I finally finished my cafe seat. The "cap" is actually from a tryumph "Thruxton". I had to re-shape the foam on the...
That is exactly what mine looked like when I got it. Good luck with it. It is totally worth it when you are done. You might as well get on...
Does anyone know what exhaust Shadi is running? Or what exhaust would give a similar sound?
What exhaust are you running on your bike. It has a nice sound. I have stock pipes and it whines a little too much for my taste.
Ease Great shots of your bike. I checked out your new post and your bike is looking great. I am also looking for some cafe enthusiasts here in...
My bike is an 82 XJ650RJ Seca. The cafe seat I am trying to accomplish is just like the Tryumph Thruxton....
It has been a LONG road to get this bike running and road worthy but she is just about 100% now. What I have done so far is: Rebuilt carbs...
Is that just strait exhaust? No mufler? How does that affect the acceleration of the bike? Sounds fantastic. I might do the same this summer.
I did the exact same thing and had the same problem. I purchased a set of risers off of ebay for about 30 bucks and it solved the problem. Ill...
I guess this is more a cleaning then a modification but I thought the info could be useful. These shocks are off my 82 xj650rj. Before I got the...
yep, the whole thing cost about 8 bucks.
Ive been working on my bike (82 xj650rj) for a while now with much help from the guys on this site. I always see people posting pictures of the...
Ease You may have answered this in another post but where did you get the 1-Up seat? Did you make that or is there an aftermarket seat I can...
Well you did a great job on those decals. The checkered stripe really came out great. Did you clear over them? If you get those shots on...
Awsome bike ease. I think you have inspired me to mod mine like that. It reminds me of the Triumph Thruxtons....
