I just went back to using the Yamaha hardware instead of the new stuff. Anyway, I was happy to feel the difference that these new shocks made....
Yeah, I figured out the bushing barrel spacers pretty quick, I'm talking more about the flat washers. Are they protecting anything or are they...
So anyway, thought I would share how this went down. Turns out it was way easier than I thought at first. I simply removed the shock from the...
OK, I'll give it another shot tonight!
So I'm replacing the rear shocks, and it looks like I need to take the right muffler off to get clearance for that last bolt to come out. Can't...
Awesome instructions. Surprisingly my shop book didn't mention any of the handle bar items whatsoever. Check one chore off the list; a hundred...
Re: K&N fir filter Worth the money? Replaced my OEM style with K&N oiled stock style and no adjustments needed... yet.
Yeah, that's the XJ all right. The lower tabs just do not match up correctly. Maybe I just have a bad example, or someone has already mucked...
So, just to follow up, the 650 bracket does not fit perfectly on the 750 frame. The lower tabs will have to be moved slightly to line up. So I...
I'm a fan.
I wish I could find one of those.
So it looks like you took off the trunk backrest and added an adjustable backrest. Why did you do that and how did you attach it to the bracket?
Somewhere around here is the thread about how to have LED blinkers and keep your autocancel. I think my soldering skills are good enough for that...
Hmm, I wonder how that compares to the classic h4. It should at least be better than my stock XJ light I'd bet.
It's like playing Bloody Mary - you say "Vetter" three times and Metal_Bob appears :D
Heh, I paid $50 PLUS shipping, so... meh Cheap enough I guess. I believe I got the pigtail with the fairing and that was the only important...
That's a lol right there. Did I pay more than you were going to??? ;) I'm not sure what all is going to come with my fairing - it hasn't...
I wish the pictures would come back, too. :(
I wouldn't be messing around with this stuff if it wasn't for Metal Bob. >:(
I took the 650 bracket off ebay. It sure looks like it would match up - at most I might have to move the bottom mounts to fit the frame. Maybe I...
So, the Vetter fairing brackets for my 1982 XJ750 seem to be hard to find. Would a bracket for a XJ650 frame work? I'm not sure how much the...
Sounds good; thanks.
I've got a rust hole on my frame that I want to get taken care of. I suppose it's about dime sized, but I'll bet there's more rusty metal under...
I'll have to pass on it myself; I'd have to modify it too much to make it mount on mine - I may as well have made one one by the time I'd be done.
I know exactly what you are talking about, and had been wondering how feasible that was or which RAM part to use. This is the best solution I've...
Pics?
My original fuse box crumbled when I touched it, so that got replaced last year. That was a must; it wasn't reliable enough to drive around town...
I've had this bike since last year, and none of the start safety switches have worked on it (neutral, sidestand). I always figured the PO had...
Wait, the blinker is supposed to self cancel without manually returning the switch to the center? Would that work the same for my 82 XJ750?
I don't really need to change the bars - I like these well enough, and there are a few mounts that I can get to work. I was just posting to see...
I was pretty sure it's a cast square bar, but I will double check tonight. My bar mounts are not like those pictured.
Wut??? How do they come off?
I want to put a VHF radio on my 82 XJ750. It doesn't look like I can use the handle bar mounts thanks to the square bars. Does anyone have...
The more I see these XJ Turbos the more I want one.
Or maybe a good trunk with a backrest and mounting hardware. Wife says she wants a backrest and I'd like something to put luggage on.
I must find one.
Is it actually a Maxim seat then? Or just some random seat you made fit? It looks like it belongs there.
Ah, I knew it would pay to search before I started trying to muscle this damn mirror. Thanks XJ Forum.
Shoot.
Bump. What was the long term consensus on this cheap fix?
So... what'd you do with that seat? It looks comfy.
I spent a few hours on 04.01 changing the rear brake pads on my XJ750. Went much easier than I expected. Broke a few bolts though - replaced...
Are there any good write ups on how to make the mounts for things like this?
I think I've got all the hardware I need, except that the clamps are made for round handlebars instead of the square. I'll test fit them to see...
Yeah, I'm thinking Slip Streamer. I think I got a good deal. Even if I have to get some more hardware to fit my square handlebars.
I'm thinking something like a Slip Streamer Turbo?
So I picked this thing up for $20. [img] windshield 1 by phactionGI, on Flickr I'd like to see if I can figure out who makes it so I can...
I would do the brakes first. Safety is always first.
I've decided that 300 ohms is teh empty; that's the only way it would fit in the tank. Happily, It looks like that connector under the seat is...
So, it's winter and I've got time to mess with this. I pulled the sender unit from the tank to ohm it up (and yes, I realize NOW that I could...
