    Not "Hogfiddles" Dave, is it? He gets all the parts on this side of the continent. Leave some for somebody else!

    Unless Dave "Hogfiddles" flew west on a red eye, no that's my job in Vancouver to scoop everything I can now that I have a new 30 foot shed to stash them in :)
    I'm Dave "RB"

    I was worried that Hogs was aiming for EVERY XJ in North America! I'm relatively close to him, so mines going into hiding! Good score, Dave "RB".

    Yet another reason not to post when there's lager in my veins!

    If he won a power ball lottery he would!
    Recent winner of Lotto Max in Tsawwassen! 12.5 million tax free ... If it was me I would have one of EVERTHING with 2 wheels. Fly all over the planet grabbing the rare, mint, and weird!

    He who dies with the most toys is still dead...
    Think that was a "NoFear" t-shirt slogan from the 90s

    Bike now waiting on a bunch of shims. Len had some found the other available in Canada. Much more riding with those valves that tight would have burnt a few valves and been the end of that engine! 3 intakes down to .002" and one exhaust down to .007"

    image.jpg Not much to see..... It's a rolling chassis w/complete drivetrain, exhaust system, engine, and guages. That's about it.

    Well ....you do have your work cut out for you!!
    Upside,doesn't look like it was crashed.
    Do you have a stash of parts for it?
    Or are you starting from scratch ?

    I'm starting from what you see, other than a few sets of carbs for it.

    I've started from worse.....

    Missing the airbox? You could try PODS!!;) Just kidding. I'm excited to see where you go with this. Are you planning to keep it fairly stock? You have a clean slate to start with. Is this your first go with a turbo?
