link to TCI units in giveaway section http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/1980s-xj-650-tci-ecu-ignition-control-boxes.106997/
All I have 2 TCI units for a 1980s xj650. OE Yamaha tci ignition module type tid14-024h7-10 they are both functional or at least were when i sold...
I've pondered how easily the Xjr 1300 would go into an old 650 or 750 frame. Would be quite pointless other than for the fun of it. The chassis is...
Thanks for the offer. But the xj 650 is long gone. It may be the same as a seca but I don't believe it was branded as such in Australia. I might...
Finally back onto an xj after a few years out. It's an xjr1300 so more of an homage to the old ways than a genuine old bike. Ride feel is so...
Ok, thankyou. My old links are to photobucket so maybe the new site doesn't work so well with them or i have to repost.
Near the top where you posted just the [IMG][/url][/img], how come that doesn't work but further down the images are in the body of the text?
Is there a way that my old URL images may be transposed over from the old site? or do i have to re-post them? Ok, sorted by reposting, same URLs...
It is indeed, Took me a little to get used to the narrow wheel on the bike as this was by far the oldest thing I'd ever owned. I found it to be...
Thats right chaps, DCC are the boys for all things clip on. Good quality and much cheaper than the competition (i'm speaking here relative to Aus...
Good show. No doubt that thing looks unique. But to my eye, it comes back to my comment about it being an aesthetic challenge to fit an IC. I...
Have you seen the garrett boost advisor. Great tool. It basically does all those calcs for you in a very gourmet application...
Interesting, I don't know anything about the book or the author. I guess he must be a very accomplished engine builder. However, it seems that...
Great effort, I would say your best bet is to get a manual for the XJ turbo bikes and use it as a baseline to reverse engineer a solution for...
Hello all, Just to say that I have a load of parts available still from my build. Didn't realise until I had to clear out the shed. Bodywork for...
Hello All, Got around to putting allmy spares on ebay as below. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/benjiuk3/m.h ... 7675.l2562
The ride video, multiple camera angles during riding. [MEDIA]
Looking through the photos I'm really starting to regret selling this bike. I think I'll have to get another. [IMG]
A few more around [IMG]
Have a load of Go pro footage and photos to make one final Vid so will post that when its all edited together. The first two were done in a hurry...
Great idea Broberg to get the Completed builds into a more accessible library. I have found on other forums where this is done it is much easier...
I would be with Erman and ManBot and guess somewhere in the 70Kg bracket (150lbs to you Imperialists). I was able to lift it minus exhaust with a...
Great effort Lo_zarro. I think you have done an excellent job here and come up with something rather unique looking. Excellent job managing to...
I bought a unit to replace my TID14-02 4H7-10. It gave a really weak spark. The unit is neat and very professionally put together. They told me...
Good job. Works well. Is it a loud and raucous beast to ride.
Sorry to see the old girl go. Its been such a hoot, I made a couple of vids this week. find below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULjJha8NQyk...
Also a little disappointed i only got to 2nd gear in the posting rating. I guess I'll have to keep the account alive and get another XJ to build...
My conclusions have been. XJs are great classic bikes with lots of character. I will definately consider them for future projects and might end up...
Thats actually what I'm going for next, just finished a streetfighter project and am going for a scooter, a lambretta or vespa restoration as a...
Last shot after my numberplate let go and then went under a truck at Freo docks. A funny lesson in not going for long test rides with some bolts...

I have other bits and bobs so will put a sales list together. A few project updates. It is now essentially finished and I have put about 100km on...
Apologies for the tardy response. I still have the original headlight if you want it. Its yours for free as a fellow forum member if you pay...
The problem now is too much spark. Regarding the acewell, it worked as soon as i did the wrap, i went for about 20 wraps to get a good signal....
Re: 1980 XJ Cafe Project Do you have a wiring diagram that you used on this build? I am at a similar stage but rectifying my ignition woes is...
I have had very little success with simplified wiring diagrams from the web. I have the same symtoms as you remo.
I am having wiring issues and looking for a new loom for my 81 650 XJ. Two different breakers tried to sell me 750 wiring harness, both swearing...
This the old beast as it lies now
The first couple of test rides around the block ended with me pushing it back to the shed. on one I blew a main fuse which was put in at below the...
So, With things back up and running and another TCI sent in from a breaker in the US, it was time to check the sync on the carbs (Bench synched...
I mentioned the antigravity battery before. Its been great and is located with the original strap and hook up under the seat in a horizontal...
And the finished product engaged on the bike. The ignition switch is next to the seat and helmet hook lock. Both still use the original key...
Next up was the seat and rear hump. I think I covered the fibreglass job for the hump already. The seat was made from the original as i wanted...
Ok, So its been a while and I have been distracted from the project by other things but to bring it back up to date. Got the acewell hooked up...
I have my straight cut clips ons pretty low, if you go low enough they will clear the tank because of the curvature inwards, its an agressive...
Forgot to mention, there is nothing particularly structural behind the top shock mounts. The 'inverted u' cross member there is mostly for...
