Have you sold this bike yet?
Welcome! Nice looking bike! Why did you wait so long to say hi? lol, anyways, enjoy and ride safe! Mac
I think it's a Honda thing, lol! J/K......seriously though, I see the merit from both sides. My XJ hasn't left me stranded or even made me push...
So far I really like it! It's a little tall, with a 33" seat height, so I'm putting a lowering kit on it (I'm only 5'7). Anyone 5'10 or taller...
Float levels?
Dude, definitely keep this up! I read your whole post and it was as cool as an adv ride report, pics are awesome and so is your ability to...
Welcome from NC! You're in the right place!
Nice! Did you get what you were hoping to get for it?
Yeah, I think it's been mentioned on the site before, but after you know your bike is tip-top and road ready, it doesn't hurt to go to any empty...
It's a 2009 Kawasaki Versys 650, same engine as the Ninja 650r but geared for more low end torque and less top end. It's made for an upright...
Well, I decided that with gas prices that I needed a daily driver with a little less maintenance needed than the XJ. So far I love it, but it's...
Hey! That's the bike from the new Green Hornet movie, ha ha ha!
Welcome! Looks like a long, fun road ahead! :-)
^ All of the above! Lately been listening to alot of In Flames, Mudvayne, Alterbridge and Lincoln Park, not sure why, just feeling it. Joe...
Nice! Glad to be part of the club, lol!
Nice@! The world has definitely changed!
Hello! Welcome from NC!
Yeah, put it up for 1800 and be happy if you get 1200. That seems to be the range from what I see, during riding season at least. About 3/4 to...
Good job! Like the old 70's tune playing too, lol!
Wow, highest unemployment and highest gas prices, makes sense huh? wtf? Someone in Washington needs to explain that to the American people.
Sold! Thanks Donkey! I think you'll really like and enjoy this exhaust! Maybe when you get it mounted you can make a video on youtube for us to...
Bump!
^ what they all said! Thanks for all that you do Len, we love you man, lol!
Lol, I know what you mean! Our loved ones tend to make it harder as well, he he. What was the price on that btw? Didn't see one.
Yeah, and I think that they dry rot faster then the OEM, oh well, you get what you pay for, lol.
Yeah, had to snip it to get the exhaust off. Oh noes! How will anyone be able to find the equivalent OEM replacement for it? :-)
bump
Grats XJasfirst! Many of us know exactly how you feel after putting it all back together and being able to ride! It's an awesome feeling! ps -...
True, I was thinking 200.00 plus shipping. I think it goes for about 400 brand new on ebay, and yeah, I'll throw in a zip tie, lol.
This is a brand new Mac 4 to 1 exhaust that I got on an '81 550 parts bike/bobber project. I don't want to give it away but before I go through...
Bump
Nice old biker dude, but some of that wasn't necessary, lol, just what you wanted (and as a fellow '82 550 owner, I hate you and what you've done...
I have a 260 and a 265, pm me with an offer. I'm assuming the 550 and 650 shims are the same? Can someone chime in please?
What a great weekend! My brother-in-law came down on a rented Honda Goldwing, what a sweet bike! Him, my friend Eric (Honda VTX 1800) all rode...
Welcome from NC!!
Sweet! Glad you are having fun!
Come on Big, we know you go out to the garage and rip them off your bikes just to pass the time..... :-) Fanaticism is sexy!
Saw some pics Mlew! So how was the vacation?
Same here unknown, but I used marvel mystery oil, seemed to work fine also. The real key for me was soaking the boots in hot, soapy water in a...
I'd check with Chacal, and then if he can't help you, start combing flea-bay. But since it's custom, you will probably have more options. Root...
Looks great!! Hope my 550 runs that good someday! :-)
Yeah baby! Sounds great!
Make sure you have gas in it......I know it sounds stupid but it happens to alot of us and we get focused on a bunch of other areas to look. :-)
Good luck! I'm excited for you, lol! If you have a compression tester, take that too!
I think the 650 might have had me at top end, lol, but it sounded like shit doing it, so I'm still happy, he he!
I wouldn't say it's an 80's paint job, but I can understand wanting to make it your own. Please don't cut that up, paint it how you'd like it, mod...
Do you have carbs that need done and are trying to get some that are already rebuilt? If so, why don't you send yours to Rickomatic or someone to...
I have a set of mufflers, collector box, and the 4 down pipes from an '81 XJ 550 Maxim. They are pretty rough looking, need lots of...
PO says, "Tires are good", and yeah, they have lots of nice tread, but they have a 1995 DATE CODE, lol! I can't complain too much though, got a...
Pulled the plugs and checked the color, cleaned them up, changed the oil and rode the piss out of it. Met up with some friends and got to ride a...
