    OK, I see it now.

    Looking it up the official reference: https://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/tech-topic-model-id-and-vins.14577/

    Only 601 built for Canada, only available in Canada, Europe, and Australia. Wow, pretty rare bird.

    I wonder what it would cost to ship from Nova Scotia to Minneapolis................................

    Simmy is happy with his sidecar and turbo.
    To be honest I have a problem keeping up with the maintenance on my existing bikes.
    Still need to complete the rebuild of the kid’s KDX and my KTM quit charging last fall.
    The BSA (BS’eh) won’t start for me.
    And I still have my 900 motor to assemble for my Turbo. And I need to ride more!

    In case that picture gets pulled, here it is. Someone actually put some time into that, looks like something I might've done in high school! Those snap in lights and the red push button are Radio Shack items for sure! Had a ton of those way back in the day.

    The big question is what the orange light above the key switch is for. My guess is warp drive.

    are you referring to the damage on the crank cap or the fact someone would paint the clutch cover yellow? LOL

    both;) mostly the damage on the crank cap.
    the paint job was from all the leftover paint yellow on one side beige (desert sand) on the other
