Sold it. Thanks.
Sorry about the confusion. I thought it would be apparent that they were mine, but hindsight being what it is, I'm not sure why I thought that....
Not trying to debate with you guys, but the next cheapest set of XJ550 carbs I could find on Ebay is exactly twice the price of mine. Granted,...
Ask away. I am the seller. As I said in this thread: This is that set of carbs in the condition in which I received them. I feel like the...
XJ550 Carb Bank on Ebay
I have another of that carb. I looked at a pic of the xs650 set and, like you said, it has small differences. I think when you look at the fact...
I think you're right! It's looking like the carb is XS650 also. I think the small tank is a DT series, as well as the tail light assembly.
I acquire some parts in a storage unit clean out and need some help identifying them. Any help would be appreciated. I think the little one is...
As promised, here is a picture of the clock I made out of an old XJ550 Maxim Fuel Tank. It is also the first project I've done with my new HVLP...
It was my intention all along to sell it once I got it fixed up. I just like working on stuff. I did not need another one. I'll be seeking a...
Sold her on Ebay. New owner just picked it up today. Thanks for all your help!
My nuts are cast iron.
I went with Duplicolor "Gunmetal Metallic".
The barn find is up and running great! It sounds fantastic and looks good too! I am now to the "test drive and see what needs tweaking" phase....
As soon as I'm done with it, I'll definitely post pics!
I'm curious about how much you guys think this should cost to ship. A USPS Large Flat Rate box (which is probably what would be required to ship...
Fitz is right on this one. Trust me, I know this from experience For every hole you try to fix, you'll find three more. You may be making a...
Genius!
Welcome here! Unfortunately, I can't help with your problem, but you've come to the right place!
Do you have any advice on how to get the emblems off the side panels?
Is anyone here already aware of a Duplicolor (or other brand of paint, for that matter) that will match the original grey of my 1982 XJ550 Maxim?...
+1 on that. We are lucky to have a resource like you.
Fixed the idling problem. There was something holding the #1 carb's butterfly open just a hair. I cleaned it (again) and re-bench synced them...
You have your whole lawn mower on a shelf? :lol:
Definitely hang around. I'm on other forums for bikes I no longer own.
Good advice! I learned that about three bikes ago! :lol: Thanks for the seal replacement link!
I've had the carbs completely apart. I've soaked and cleaned them. I bench synced them, but have not used a carb sync meter. I just noticed as...
Here is a pic as of today. Still working on the tank. Still need to check the valves. Thanks to BigFitz's other thread about brake lines, I...
I went with a Gatorade bottle with a nylon nipple RTV'ed on. It's holding so far. Cost: Less than 2 bucks.
That's pure ugliness! Thanks for sharing!
A friend had it done for me as a Thank You for helping him out. It looks like, from the website, they start about $50.
Mark Thrasher re-covered the seat on my Suzuki and it looks great. If you need one done, I highly recommend him. http://www.thrasherseats.com/
Yes on Compression, replaced brake lines, rebuilt MC and caliper. :D No to the other stuff. :oops: Thanks for the suggestions. I figured I'd...
Had to get a different tank for it. It had a few dents, but it was in MUCH better shape than the old one. The dents came out nicely. I'm just...
Very nice!
Got the 81 tank and it does fit. It has some dents in it, but, after giving it a preliminary cleaning, I was able to take the bike around the...
Man, I love those Honda Cb's!
Not a lot of snowblowers here in Florida :lol:
Has anyone here made their own aux fuel tank? I'm talking about the kind of tank used to provide fuel to the bike/carbs during times when the...
I have Shinko 712's on my CB900. They are fairly new, but I have no complaints so far. They ride smooith and seem to grip well enough.
I have a line on an 81 tank. Will it fit on my 82?
I was not arguing, I was making a joke. Perhaps I should have put an LOL behind my comment. And MiGhost, I did end up scrapping that tank. It...
Using this logic, I should just buy new bikes, but what fun would that be? I've got plenty of time, so I guess I'll just keep chugging along.
This fuel tank is giving me fits!! After I cut the bottom off, I discovered rust had eaten away at the inside of the tank. As a result, I have...
Welcome to the forum!
Not so theoretical question: Is it possible to bypass the vacuum shutoff within the petcock itself? The vacuum shutoff has been removed on all...
{knocking on wood} I've yet to have a problem with buying stuff on Ebay.
Fantastic! Anyone who resurrects dying bikes is truly doing the Lord's work!
Here is something I read on another forum:
I tried everything everyone on this thread has suggested--including the ATF/Acetone mixture. Nothing worked. Drilling the tumbler was not a...
