650 -> 820cc conversion

Does anybody know if this guy is on the forums?
I thought his fin repair was very nice.

 

He SHOULD be, huh???

 

Great Video - sounds 'Antipodean' maybe NZ..

 

My bad - Australian.. Does some fun Millyard-esque stuff

 

Hey David, thanks for this link. I’m new here and yes I’m an Aussie.

Great to find a place just for XJs. I have a series of videos on my channel for my current XJ650 build. Check it out and happy to answer any questions you might have. Mezzmo Engineering on YouTube.

I just posted a detailed build video of my engine that you might be interested in. The 650 is a great engine, only weak links imo is the choke port design and the big one is the primary chain and guide...

 

Welcome! Our community gets better by bringing in more enthusiasts with something to share!

 

Hey! Glad you’re here, Mezz! Your video was posted earlier in this forum and we were saying you ought to be on here. Good to see you.

I had already made this forum into a sticky so we can always find it.

excellent work

welcome aboard,
DFox

 

Thanks guys. Look forward to sharing and learning more too...

 

Great fin repair. I like the way he built them up.

 

Holy shit its mezzmo!!! I binge watched the whole custom build at 4am a few weeks ago and have been subscribed and keeping up.

 

Good to be here and glad to hear you have been enjoying my channel. My build is coming along, I think all the hard work will come together pretty quickly over the next few weeks.
Looking forward to doing the electrics and getting it running. I have a long list of Moto gadget parts about to go in so should be fun...

 

I've really enjoyed your XJ650 build videos on YouTube - addicted to them now, in fact. They are very well put together and extremely informative. While my project goal (restoring my bone-stock '82 Seca 650 to as close to showroom condition as possible) differs from yours, I have nonetheless gleaned lots of useful information from your vids, and I would encourage everyone here to check them out. Thanks for posting them, and keep up the great work. Also love the old Celica in your avatar.

 

Thanks mate, glad it’s helping you out. Yes, I have to get the Celica out again, it’s been far too long

 

I really liked your episode adapting the 900 Diversion rear wheel.
We all envy that 17" 150 rear tire.

 

Thanks mate. It does look good and only just fits after some mods....I purchased that rim and took a chance so given I already paid for it there was no way I was going to give up without a fight...
Hope to have the electrics sorted in the next week or so and then should be getting close to the first ride up my driveway....

 

Well done and thanks! I have a 900F "framy" - just an engine and frame, looking to buy a set of wheels, brakes and forks from a 900s to fit to it. Now I know they will fit. Good work, and good vid's too, easy to watch.

 

I'm addicted to your build ,your bike is looking great . Hope you keep at it.

 

Thanks mate, getting close now. The paint work has turned out well. I hope to go for the first test ride in a couple of weeks time...

 

yes, very nice. I've been looking particularly at the engine rebuild part because I want to do that to my 900 but I'm waaaay to scared.

 

You should just go for it. Take your time, watch my videos and others and you will be fine.
Plenty of good info available to help you...
