    PM him; or email "info (AT) XJ4Ever (DOT) com" with your info and your bike info. Be as specific as possible; give him the "shorty VIN" off the top of your transmission housing.

    He makes all this possible; at least for me and a few hundred others. He's got reasonable prices on everything; and more importantly, the correct parts. He's got stuff Yamaha never even assigned a part number to, and it's not all in his catalog.

    Establish a relationship; it'll be worth your while.

    In my experience, even if you're not 100% sure of what you need from his catalog, he'll make sure you get the right stuff if you just ask his opinion.

    Fair prices, the right parts, and shipping is exceptionally fast. All in all an excellent vendor and a nice guy as well.

    +100!

    Yes you can find parts a little cheaper-but will they be right?
    Or will they arrive as claimed by the parts jocky?

    In my experience the answer is no. I wasted so much time and money
    before finely biting the bullet and getting a paypal account so I
    could order from Len.

    I've never been let down since.

    In fact-on two occasions I could have bought local for a few $$'s less
    but still chose to buy from Len because I want him to stay in business
    4ever (pun intended).

    This may sound to the nubie's like a bunch of butt-kissing but nothing
    could be further from the truth. Len lives up to all the praise given
    by the members on this site.

    So fear not!!!!!!!!!!!!! support our supporting vendor so we can keep these
    old girl's on the road.

    Just my 2 cents.

    +100 as well - Len has done an incredible amount of RESEARCH and TESTING to get where he is today - innovations like the "tool" to help put valve cover donuts on the bolts, for example.

    He didn't stop at just basic parts and gaskets - -

    I wonder if he ever has Time to Ride?? 8O

    Without Len's assistance and parts, my bike would have cost me many times the hours, frustration, and cost it has to restore. Well worth ordering from, and he really does live up to all the hype. Every package I have ordered has been exactly WHAT I needed, cheaper than Yamaha sells it (if they even still stock it) and has come VERY rapidly.

    Granted, sometimes you can find certain parts at a lower cost. BUT I buy any thing NEW from Len pretty much exclusively. Why? Partly because I try to support our local organization (xjbikes) and partly because of the fact that Len has put so much time in the study of these bikes, figuring out ways to get the parts made again, etc...... I feel thatI sort of "owe" it to him to support his efforts. If we don't support ourselves, eventually the question will become 'who's gonna help us now?'

    I know first-hand that there are times when parts have become obsolete and 'the one last-remaining piece in near-perfect condition' happens to turn up, and Len has been able to come up with the ways to get new reproductions of them to have available once again. I know that for a FACT..........I have had the opportunity a couple of times now to supply him with either highly detailed pictures, or the actual item itself. I feel honored to have been able to help like that, and yes, I'll buy copies of the parts, too.

    Now, after all of that, I don't think the original question has been answered yet........So............to order from Len, just click on the xj4ever logo in the upper right corner of all the xjbikes screens and that will take you right to him. Or, you can email since someone gave you his email. Or, you could watch the Who is Where block on the left side of the pages, and when you see him there, send a PM. Or, look for a post or forum from him, and then click on the PM button that way.

    He's like Santa Claus..........always watching. He knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or goo.............oops, I digress------

    Len / Chacal/ XJ4ever -
    I do NOT know if they are all one in the same. . . I DO know that he/ they are ROCKSTARS for getting the right parts and quick!

    Customer service AND satisfaction the way it should be.

    Just doin' a few hundred $ with Len at present.......he is prompt ++ and offers alternatives / suggestions as well as techno savvy.......I don't get that from the local bike store.......rebuilding 30 year-old bikes still costs less than a major car service.....I use this forum and will support it whenever possible. Quite frankly, without this forum, I'd be struggling ++ so thanks again, Len......[and hogfiddles/bigfitz/Rickomatic/tskaz....and others too numerous to mention...]

    I'm waiting for someone to ask the question:

    "Who can get parts to me by 10am on Saturday, if I pay for them on Thursday at 5am?"

    Len can, and has.
    Literally 53 hours after I paid for my parts they were at my door.
    From Georgia to Michigan.
    For 8 bucks.

    And he's the only motorcycle parts guy I have ever (in 25 years) had talk me out of buying a part that I didn't know I didn't really need.

    Chacal is awesome for parts & supplies AND for know-how. He's answered a lot of questions for me, some intelligent and some...not so much. He's actually talked me out of buy things I don't need and kindly suggested alternatives that make more sense. Go with chacal!

    The WOW factor!

    I sent Len an email with a list of a few jobs that are in store. The next day I received a VERY detailed description of all the parts involved in each job and how they related to each other and assembled and....WOW!!! Is all I could say. That kind of customer service is nonexistent these days. Or so I thought. Mind you, I haven't even placed an order yet so technically I'm not even a "customer" yet. The WOW factor...
    needless to say, my order will be placed today now that I know EXACTLY what I need. How many times have you bought something online with complete confidence you'll get the right parts? I know I can.
