A 16 from a Virago will work. Just remember that you are dropping the final drive ratio, so expect higher RPM's at all speeds.
There's a Vmax rider in Sudbury with a red one. He doesn't seem exactly sane. It could have been him. Best bet is give these morons every...
I can weld those holes up for you, but it won't be this week. nine o eight- 4910. I've got new problems with the Vmax, so I'm somewhat occupied...
The first thing to try is cutting a slot in the head of the screw with a dremmel. if that doesn't work, try vice grips. Last chance is a...
The middle gear whine is normal. She sings better when in the upper RPM's you'll grow to expect it and lust for it's sound. Damn, I miss these...

Seca or Maxim? We really need to get you a sig line ;)
Sorry Robert, Danno drew first blood on the tail light assembly, and stock rim. Jamescomp gets the needles that he needed. That leaves the...
I just noticed that I broke 100 posts. As a newer tradition has been formed from motorcyclists on many forums, I'd like to spread the wealth and...
You can have my Seca fender, but it's been cut, and needs paint. I'll get pics tomorrow.

I put a 130-90-16 HI-Max on my Seca. It didn't like the rain, but for just putting around town it was fine. I only had it on there for about 800...
Chicken, ball, and hook. Welcome home Marine, glad to have you back.
I can't make myself cut up a perfectly good XJ, but I'd love to see your work. throw some pictures up! oh, and welcome
Those holes are for a oil cooler. My first Seca had one, but my second didn't. It may have been a add on from the factory. I need to put one of...
A fellow Arkie! Welcome. I may take you up on lunch on the way to BBB this year.
I love mine. I have it set to strobe three times, pause, strobe three times, and then constant. About a week after I installed it, I found myself...
Don't feel bad, I want another XJ. (no I won't trade) :mrgreen:
I'll add Xj wiring diagrams http://members.tripod.com/dave_jack/index.htm All of my other XJ stuff got wiped out when my last laptop died (RIP I...
Lets start all over, just for clarification. When you try to start the bike, is the starter turning the engine over, or do you just get a click?
It's been a long time since I've seen a X in person, but I think they resembled the 1100 Virago horns? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-1...
Check your oil level to make sure that it's not mixed with gas and filled to the brim. (I think it's called hydro-lock). If the oil in the...

I want some of these paint-on-tires! I'll take a can of radial please. I can't help, but I couldn't resist either.
Ouch! If you can't tap the threads back in there, the next step is probably a heli-coil.
I miss that whine. After I changed the stock 18 to a Virago 16 rim, it was even more noticable. Hell, I'd keep it at six or eight grand just to...
Are you kidding? Polish it? hrmph... I'd keep it in my bedroom! I found my first one in '90 under a carport. The owner had lowsided it in '85,...

:oops: Actually I just park it in the house. (I work on it outside) :roll:
Thirty bucks for a chunk of metal? Someone is proud! Hey girlie, if you think a stock mount would help, like Nick suggests, yell at me....
The brackets are a little twisted from the wreck, but maybe you can get an Idea of the mounts. It's not quite what you wanted, but it may help.
Butterfly shaft seals... Thanks for the warning! And actually there is a reason to not set them up for +top performance. It takes all day to...

Of course you know, you can still hang around.

That thing looks like a Triuph Daytona 600. The kick start is just strange though. When you start cutting, take lots of pictures. I want to see...
No XJ, but this is me and my girlfriend. (everyone should have a twenty-one year old girlfriend that looks as good)

Nice, clean work. *two thumbs up*
