Happy Thanksgiving all...;) Thankful for freedom of opinions.
And I didn't know you knew the gentleman in the picture...but I do hope you know what the main reason for the American Civil War was. The flag...
Thank you for the fast response time, not sure what took you so long. What's TAT? And yes, I am...the XJ750 I'm working on.
OMG...want!
Bummer! But it doesn't look that bad...if you Got it through eBay and used PayPal, you could most likely get your money back. If that isn't an...
Yeah, I used to go by the port back in the day, LB is huge...have some close friends that live in Carson, Westwood, Santa Monica and Hollywood....
Everything out (side covers, battery, batt box, disconnect/ move wiring aside, carbs, air boots on box. any other BS I forgot in that space)...
To mc1oo1, my apologies for being curt. Welcome to XJbikes, lots of information on this website and helpful people. Introduce yourself to the...
I suppose that was rude of me and displayed a lack of etiquette and restraint on my part. Anyhoo, thank you.
Are you high? First post and you're asking me where I live? And you tell me you're from Long Beach...LOL.
WOW...please re-read what I wrote.
It was thinking outside the box in 1912. When there is 20 years of GOOD...no no, GREAT off road tech at hand in the used market for pennies on...
Sorry for the thread jacking, not my intention...but I am truly curious. Another way to create restriction and have pods would be a perforated...
Yeah, he explained it to me the first time. Thanks K-moe.
I love how many people have an actually thought this was an idea to be considered. LOL
What bulk? The air box is still therein its entirety...Anyhoo, thanks for clarification. Seems like way too much work for little to no gain at...
Why would you keep the air box but modify it for pods!? Does not make sense at all...please help clarify.
All-Balls makes a set for about $20; needle bearings w/ new races. Put the races in the freezer for a few hours, tap the old races out, then the...
Lol
Thanks! I'm in California...riding 365 days a year!
And are the stock shocks on the 550 coil over air or coil over oil? Either way they're not serviceable and are shot at 30+ years old...I know some...
Yup. I suppose you 4 options for compression on the rear...same up front too. Some of the rear shocks (from the factory, mind you) have 4 ride...
XS is the only one that fits the bill. spoke with dual disc...good info.
And its very tricky too, disc diameter and width have to be the same or you will be at as stand still (literally). Playing with spacers may come...
A 'Sticky' wheel chart thread would be dope...but perhaps any of the virago wheels for the front. Dual disc up front on a spoke wheel is almost...
Good shocks would have been a better way to go, and a lot less of a headache. You're stuffing an 18" wheel into a swing arm designed for a 17"...
DAAMN...I need this.
I like the decal outline, cool placement.
Why?
These parts are straight out of 1982, probably an asbestos laden gasket, the good shit.
Tough crowd... [IMG] OEM head gasket and 2/4 piston ring sets...base gasket, o-rings and fork seals, dust seals and snap rings should be here...
f*** Marc Marquez.
how is the bike coming?
Finished painting the frame...installing the new head tube and swing arm bearings. Off to buy some more engine enamel paint and last Yamaha OEM...
yay, fresh shocks!
Yup, RZ500...the motor is getting all new seals, bearings, pistons and rings, reeds and gaskets. The bike is complete and has Jolly Motos with it!...
Not an FJ but still a Yamaha...it was a closed course race bike, although it was street legal. Nope, almost identical to it in regards to the...
What's up everyone?! I found xjbikes.com for my 1982 750 Maxim...homie of mine had aquirred this bike for nothing in hopes to use as a daily with...
Helping my family put their old race bike back together in stock glory +some. You guys know this bike? [IMG]
Yeah, if it's hard and dry, it may not seal right...they are wear items. I'm pumped you got the sync and color tune
If the rubber/viton tip looks like there is an indented ring around it from sitting in the jet, I would recommend replacing them when you can....
So clean! The rear fender braces seal the deal. I've never looked or seen any XJ's lowered in the rear, but, if you're into it, you could put...
Oh, and you got the carb rebuild kit....the needle valves are new, yeah? Haven't seen the rubber/viton piece ever separate when new, but I don't...
Intake bolts snapping sucks! Good to hear you took it to a machine shop to extract...I didn't use a carbide bit and snapped it off in the broken...
Awesome! As far as the mounting point, do what you have to do, I'm going to safely assume this isn't a race bike or pulling anything abnormally...
?
Sorry, some people can't keep negative shit to themselves...really digging what you're doing, hopefully we can see some progress!
Hey guys...here is a sneak peak of my frame color. As mentioned above, prep steps: 1) Sandblast 2) Blow off w/ air then Acetone wipe down 3)...
I like the mount location. Curious as to how well they work...anyone have any pics or info on their Dyna Coil set up vs. the Accel?
seat pan came out great! can't wait to see it on the bike.
