West Australian XJ750P Police Special

The white bike looks great, bit hot in summer though from the look of it.

 

my parts bike is 37H-000138

 

Nice!

 

Doing some research about a 750 WA police special, came across this thread as well as a book that I am sure you will be interested in.

Yamaha XJ650, XJ750 for police, supplementary service manual

It's at the WA state library, there's one copy there.

Another update, have purchased said 83 (stamped 86) 37H. Collecting tonight, will start a build thread either tonight or tomorrow, depends on when I can start ripping bits off.

Already needs.
Airbox
Speedo cable
rear brake shoes
brake lines replaced
wiring gremlins found (batt and rear tail light warning lights on all the time).

Anyway, will stop hijacking this thread and start my own soonishly.

 

my XJ750P VIN is 37H-000246 - dated 7/84
and the engine number is 37H-000217

 

Wouldn't that look cleaner with a "Seca" tail fairing and light??
That shouldn't cost too much - sharp looking paint !!

 

i would like a better seat, or an original single small police seat, and possibly the original carry compartments on the back. the guy i bought it from did a great new white paint job

 

My 750P VIN 37H000104 (1983)

 

Hi
I have 271 and 371

 

Hi
I have access to the parts you are chasing

 

Hi
I’m looking at doing the same thing I have the original police single seat but want to put the dual seat and rear cowling any info you find out would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

Hi Nigel,
I actually had the exact same idea, back on the day, and bought a seca ducktail and seat and after much fiddling about realised that the modifications to the rear end of the frame, welding and cutting wise, were more than I wanted to do.
Ended up giving the ducktail to darkfibre on xjbikes and stuck with the single seat.
My other half says she would never get on the back anyway... So that's my story.
Thought I'd let you know.

 

Oh BTW: cullys in Perth have the xj750p parts listing on their website.
https://cullysyamaha.com.au/parts/
Select 1985, xj750 police
And have a look.
I have bought a lot of original parts, seals/bearings etc direct.
Handy info.

 

And I thought the wheels on my fathers xj550j were ugly.... Man those 4bar spokes are just straight fugly!! lmao, got to love the 80's...haha



Good looking clean bikes..

 

Cheers for the info
So how did you clean up the arse end
Remember I’m going for the full fairing look
Cheers

 

I didn't. Left it stock with the single seat.
Did make racks for a top box though.
My dream of having the seca ducktail was thwarted.

 

Hey mate how do I do anything on this page
