    I just got my hands on a 1981 xj650 Midnight. I have never owned a street bike and have little hands on experience wrenching. That being said, I am a competent human being with a little cash to blow. A good friend of mine works on bikes and has offered more than enough guidance and help. To make a long story short, we started last night. Here are a few pictures of what i got. They are confusing with all the stuff around but they will get better.

    New bars and some changes

    We found some things that would work better lying around the motocross graveyard that is Jobins garage. New levers here, new handlebars there. Chop this, not that.

    Welcome to the site and check the rear brakes for delamination asap. Your pics didn't come thru, they have to be resized to below 500mp.

    Ahhaha, I never would have noticed


    Welcome to the site, akevin47. Alot of people are in the same boat, but nothing is impossible. With all the info crammed into the site here, you should have no sweat mastering that Midnight.
