    I didn't know that Fast Orange made a kick stand. LOL
    Diamond plate side covers painted the same color as the wheels.

    Here’s a few little updates:
    -picked up a set of aftermarked CBR footpegs and modified them to fit the XJ.
    -installed the battery tray… the battery itself is apparently dead , so I’ll need a new one.

    I rolled it outside to take a few pictures while I was cleaning up the garage.
    There’s still a lot of little stuff that needs to be finished up before its road ready,
    but I’m going in for a heart surgery on Monday, so all of that will have to wait a bit.

    Picked up a broken 1982 Seca Turbo front fender, and trimmed it down a bit.

    thanks, surgery was a success... the only thing that sucks is that they had to crack my ribcage open, so I won't be riding for up ton 3 months

    Thanks guys :D

    Just did a few little additions... brown barrel grips and "Napoleon" style mirrors and a 140mph speedometer from an XS750.

    You walk-away from a plane-crash, ... it's called a safe landing.

    You get to tell people you HAD heart surgery, ... same deal.

    Be well.

    Glad you made it!
