Forkman, Even if I was, I would be looking to local pickup only, and would not be wanting to try to package up and ship parts around. If you are...

Hey Josh. I'm looking to sell my parts bike and all of the parts all together, I am not parting it out. As such, I am not looking to sell the tank...
Here is pictures of the parts bike and additional parts.
Hey All, Was a avid member of this group for a number of years and met some great folks here! Unfortunately due to health and personal reasons, I...
I mainly used/documented a US gauge and converted - also compared to published US standard ( intake is .004- .006 and exhaust is .006 - .008)
Fantastic, works for me :-) Now I can button her up and rip the carbs off and get her tuned. Thanks! --josh
Ok, so all checked out and reshimmed. Would be interested in expert opinion on these numbers to see if they are good enough. They are in spec, but...
Sabre: you hit the Nail on the head, the shim I used to replace was out of spec just a tiny bit - which would account for it going to .007 instead...
Bigfitz: understood, to phrase differently, I'm going to order the shims I need - per the shim chart so I can put everything into spec. The...
That's true, I have a digital caliper but it doesn't seem to want to turn on today, lol. That does make sense, as the .006 feeler gauge was...
I just pulled my valve cover off - glad I did, these donuts look horrible. Looks like the po just used excees amounts of blue gasket sealer on...
Based on some feedback I've gotten here a few years ago when I first got my 81 XJ750RH, I've used seafoam in my oil to clear it out before the...
I've seen the same with a lot of younger riders - not sure if its just me or not ;-) re: working on them - thats why I like the XJ's - while...
Dave - good to hear from you again! yeah, I wish it was something as simple as me moving or selling the bike ;-). It was a 'perfect storm' of...
Hello all, its been a while ;-) Due to some family and health reasons (not relevant/important) I had to put up my '81 XJ750 Seca for the last...
I did this with fully stripped own carb bodies (that were pretty nasty), made a world of difference. Just don't use too much lemon juice or leave...
Re: I installed a new horn. (Wolo Bad Boy Air Horn) Ross: Where did you pick them up?
Do I see highway pegs on her? how much?

Don't worry about chacal, i got another order lined up soon that will keep him in business ;-P
I like those screws too (once you actually tighten them down that is). I got those from Chacal about a year ago when I was rebuilding that set...
I do have to say, from first hand experience, this bike is beautiful. Definitely a class act.
Honestly Mike, I very well might take you up on that suggestion, I had a good time at this one and would love to go to another. Seeing the bikes...
welcome - where you located? You will definitely sink a lot of time, money and energy into these bikes.. and end up wondering.. why didn't I do...
Hey mike, I just placed an order for these based on seeing them on 'plum crazy' during your visit to the great north. I actually even wrote down...
when cruising, I can stay at 70 and barely go a hair over 5k. Even had her pegged at 85mpg and was barely over 5.75k after initial surge to get to...
what do you men funny? Like, wobbly? seen (and felt) similar 'off-ness' due to front brakes having a stuck piston or sticky caliper.
+1 to pics ;-)
Sorry all, I didn't forget - work busting my tail. hoping to get pics tomorrow, no lights in my garage so can't do at night
and from front/back to see how it lays
actually once I can find my pics and that paint info, it's for both of you. I remember that this paint had a few colors - including a matte silver.
My original pipes for my parts bike were rusted horribly.. I chucked a wire bit into my drill and used it to get all of the rust off. Then I used...
I'm in for one ;-P
Hey don't knock SLKid, ;-) this is the first bike I've been on in over 10 years. I shift when I hit about 4k RPM too ;-P Just a old habit on...
So.. complete tangent here - but its my thread so I can ;-P Was going through JC Whitney for those dampeners (which I found, Here) So while...
Yeah, i usually shoulder check all the time.. but when I am pulling 70 in heavy traffic I don't want to take my eyes far off the guy in front of...
well then hurry up! ;-P now i gotta get me some ammo cans so I am ready when you get whatever your figured out built! ;-)
They were originally clear coated. Thats what you see coming off of them. The best way (and easiest) it to take the covers off (might need to...
So.... I get out of work today looking forward to a nice long ride home (when I ride bike to work it takes me at least an extra 30 minutes to get...
So, I bought a can of AeroKroil and there was a deal that gave me a can of SiliKroil for free (basically AeroKroil with silicone). I've...
Quick question maybe some of the guru's here have a handy trick or tip they can share. Just bought new mirrors for my XJ: Mirrors So, I got...

Ok, So i did this tonight. it is CCW for normal forward movement. However, I followed your instructions Rick, and .... I don't think anything...
To add to this.... I just ordered something on ebay. 4 signal lights to be exact... Ebay Auction So I just got them in the...
I'd be interested in those pics and dimensions. Might try to fab my own controls and the more information the better
