I personally think that new owner got a smoking deal, but it is what it is. Now he has one of the coolest XJs out there.
Well… as they say, all good things must come to an end. Today I sold my XJ. It brought great memories, amazing experiences and I met new friends...
Six and a half months ago my wife and I became parents to our son. Ever since we found out that we were expecting addition to our family I wanted...
I did post it somewhere in here but if I remember correctly it was around 25* and yes, it has a lot shorter wheel base than stock.
Yesterday, I needed to go to a shop about 10 miles away from me and instead of taking a car I decided it was a nice 75* day and I would take my...
Photo from today’s ride.
Not a direct bolt on but you can fit pretty much any fork to pretty much any bike.
Stock R1 master and aftermarket levers that came with the donor bike.
As mentioned above, XJs don’t have limiter. I have analog tach and digital speedo on my bike with Max parameter memory and if I remember correctly...
Props on doing work man! Imho something about it makes it look bulky and heavy, not enough open space anywhere.
people have high ambitions but not enough skill or dedication.
It was one of my long time goals to ride XJ on PCH and today I finally did it! 220 miles, 6 hours, beautiful scenery, bike performed flawlessly,...
Bike is limited on rear tire width by shaft tube.
but my particular bike doesn’t have any bogging and no I am not ignoring it, it just doesn’t exist in my case.
I have ridden my XJ750 maxim in 100% stock form few times prior to modifying it and going with pods. Drivability and smoothness stayed the same,...
I once done 400+ mile trip on my maxim with RPM ranging from 6000-9000 and mostly around 8000-8500 in 100* heat without any issues what so ever....
I am most definitely not selling it for KBB volume. Lol 99% of XJs are worthless.
Hello everyone! I am somewhat considering in selling my XJ. I am not totally set on it but toying with the idea. Every time I build or modify...
Man, I just can’t keep myself away from buying bikes. After selling my last WR250X 10 years ago, I been always wanting another one. Well, today...
i don’t, but it’s pretty much same as bottom mount
It really depends on your budget, but from personal research I came to conclusion that Progressive is best bang for the buck when it comes to quality.
I just sold my R1100RS and it was great. But I want to build an airhead which is carbureted. Or I could just make it easy and buy RnineT and be...
My next build will be BMW R100. I bought R11ooRS oilhead to build last year but after looking over the bike and what’s been done to them I...
Thank you! There are couple of things that really bother me with my bike styling wise, but in order to correct them I would have to completely...
Correct, Antigravity 8 Cell mounted upside down
If you look at the side view picture of my bike you will notice that tank and tail is in a straight line, I elevated rear tank mounting point by...
Fuse box, ignition and turn signal relay is in the seat section, battery & starter relay & all plugs from controls are in the frame under the...
Great! People get surprised on canyon runs.
I tried using those exact same brackets for headlight but they were way too long for my bike.
Your buddy is an idiot!
Snapped a picture of the bike today after coming home from a ride.
I been using antigravity 8 cell with original regulator for a year and a half. My gauge has option for voltage display and it’s always in the...
No vibration what so ever, I would recommend.
Using single bar end mirror on left clip on.
~30lbs less than stock 550 :)
Looks like a solid foundation. Pretty much what my bike looked like.
It’s obviously your project and for you to decide it’s route but I think stretched swing arm would look goofy.
4 years, two different bikes and quite frankly I have yet to see anything remotely good looking to say the least...
Great looking bike! Since you bought so many bikes, do you happen to have a spare XJ550RJ Seca tank for sale?
No OTS conversions are available as far as I know. Have to make your own.
Quick update My seat that has suede on the top got extremely faded during the year that I had it. Bought Firbin’s suede dye and refinished it,...
I have aftermarket cluster on my bike and CHOSE not to have side stand switch because I wanted to have as little wiring showing as possible but...
What engine? 42/118 are super lean for 750 and your mods.
bike is not finished yet. I was impatient to ride in the summer of 2019, then got distracted by buying more bikes and now we are looking to buy a...
I would suggest either finding stock box or just use pods.
I am amazed at your dedication. 9 years since the project been started and you still have hopes on finishing it one day.
Took an old girl out for the first time in a long while due to traveling and rain. [ATTACH]
Hi. I didn’t take any measurements since everything was eyeballed. Shock hoop is asymmetrical for esthetics because I wanted it to flow with...
No updates on the bike besides that I been riding it and enjoying every second of it but day marks 1 year since the day I bought it.
I don’t remember if stock bike had air channeled into stock location but I know for a fact that it wasn’t sealed unlike your set up of electrical...
