81 xj 650 chop and drop project

I want to send out a big Thanks to Cutlass79500 on selling me pods and getting them to me so quick. They arrived yesterday and installed today and I went for a quick ride. No Headlight or taillight and no guages but wanted to get her on the road and I loved it. Stopped by my parents place and you think when you are an adult you might actually get treated like one. My Mom said " Why's it so low? Why did you paint it white? You're gonna kill yourself on that thing!!" Wow I guess maybe someday I will get treated like an adult, like when I'm 70. She will be on the road this weekend and I'm sure I will be tuning to try and get her as close to right as I can and I will get good pics up soon and pics of the suspension will have to wait til I take off the rear tire again for polishing the rims because you can't see enough to understand the mod.

 

AWESOME!!! you need to post up pics NOW though. They don't have to be perfect....just post 'em up. You're bike kicks ass..

Oh, and I have one of those Mother's too. She just nit picks the stupidest shit. Drives me insane. Stuff like... Oh, yeah I guess it's nice, but why is this like that or why did you do that there. huh.... it's still ok I GUESS.

 

Make the most of your mums.. Mine kicked the bucket 5 years ago.. Nit picking mums are better than no mum, at least she gives a damn!!

Looking forward to seeing the photos, wanna know what the bike looks like in white..

 

How about some updated pics on this beast. It is still by FAR my favorite XJ. I haven't been on the board much, but now that I'm back in Iraq I have tons of time to kill.

Hey, if I get some time off after this deployment what would it cost me to have you help me work on my bike if I drag it up to Ohio? I'd want it chopped, the rake stretched like yours, whatever the hell you dd to the suspension, plating on the neck, side covers, and that SWEET rear fender. It wouldn't have to get completely finished.... just a lot of the stuff I don't have the skillz to do myself. I'll even do all the work if you just point and tell me what to do where.
