    Well I finally got the bike running and on the road. Installed new halogen lamps on the front to go with the headlight and give me more light at night. Everything else is stock.

    Still want to replace the fork seals and repaint the tank after filling in the sides and a dent. But that will wait till after I get some riding time in first!

    Here are a few pics of it. What do ya think?

    BTW its 82 XJ650J

    Looks good, I like the paint job on the tank, very classic!

    Glad to see you finally got up and running. Sorry i couldn't help you out on the carbs since i've been fortunate not to have to dig into mine. Nice ride, now put some miles on it!

    I really lucked out on the carbs. Found a local guy that is really cheap and used to own one of these himself. Have spent a few nights going over the bike with him!

    Not sure I'm ready to do em myself yet but it was nice to see an "expert" rip em down and see the guts.

    Great to see another one on the road. I can recognize those spitfires from a mile a way.
