    This is the one and ONLY reason I think twice about owning an XJ.
    Parts are becoming harder to find these days.
    Then folks like this who will try to take avantage.
    $100.00 (usd) for a rear brake pedal, thats re-dick-you-los

    I wish parts were still aval for these bikes, or atleast an reputable aftermarket provider

    That's why it's always nice to have a non-running parts bike :wink: those xj's that have been sitting in a barn for 20 years with no title can be had for little $$, sometimes free :D

    Just because they post it for $100, dosent mean they will sell it.

    Hell, I would widdle one from a block of aluminum with a toothpick before I paid $100 for one...

    And sites like this will continue to put those guys out of business.

    I'd start in the "for sale" section here.

    Try kingpowersports.com it is in New York and I bought a drive unit assembly from them and it only cost me $30 with shipping which is alot cheaper than anywhere else i had found. It also arrived in just a few days so they ship it out quick.

    It's worse if you live outside the US or Canada, and not just prices a lot of dealers and private sellers wont ship abroad.

    I was going to say, I bet he meant for it to say 10.00 buy it now

    besides there are still plenty of parts out there.

    I feel for you folks that are abroad
