Wanted Looking for 82 XJ650J Battery Side Panel.

Looking for battery side panel for 82 Xj650j
and before you ask, yes I went back about 15 minutes later After reviewing the video and it was gone, no busted pieces, not a f’ing thing!

 

What color? Looks like black ..? I might have an extra

 

Good time to get a new set of grommets too! I never realized how loose my side panels were until I got some new grommets from Chacal.

 

Black would work fine. What price would you be asking? OR I have some Xj650 parts from the PO. Came with an extra tank. Even have an 81 parts bike. Let me know if you want pics of my parts...the bike parts man.

 

I’ll send a pm

 

Let me know if the pictures made it to you.

 

Or here you are

 

If Dave can't help, we should have some good used ones available too, in a variety of stock (original) colors.

 

Thanks Chacal, I will let ya know. I appreciate your help.

 

Hi Len, Dave isn’t able to help out, what do you have in the pretty good range, color doesn’t matter.

 

I found a local guy via eBay with both sides 25.00 for both! Woot woot or yippee ki yay!

 

Not trying to hijack your post and hope you find one, but once yours is handled if anyone has more let me know because im looking for one as well! Also for the original plastic Yamaha emblem for the gas tanks!

 

This emblem.

 

Are you looking for the right side too or both sides?

 

Left side is the one I'm missing (A big F U to the bugger that stole it) but, if you have both, Id be interested to have a spare right.

 

I have tank emblems but not these best condition. How about this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/202941541127

 

So this is what my $25 got me...not sure why the one had holes in it. I had to paint em anyway.

before
And
After

not bad for rattle can imo.

 

Holes are for side cover emblems. Some years were stick-on, others were mounted on, and the midnight maxim ones were also mounted on. Mounted ones have little posts that go through the cover, then a small washer/gasket, then a retainer. Most were two-post, Midnight Maxim was 3-post. I believe yours was from a MM.

 

And that is why you are the XJ Wizard!
Thanks for letting me know, I did notice the “new “ left side cover does not have the bike information (label) on it . Again I appreciate the background on the covers.

 

the lower tab broke off of mine the other day. already flattened some pvc pipe, now to shape it and get some fresh glue
