    I looked at that before, but I didn't see anything about the self-cancelling functionality. Does yours work with the stock self-cancelling circuit?

    Just to re-cap, what I was talking about here was that I converted to LED turn signals, without load resistors, and built a new flasher circuit that works correctly with these turn signals and still supports the stock auto-cancel system (time and distance based).

    That is the most incredible mod I've ever seen to any 80's motorcycle...

    Love the EFI, i would love to do this, along with a turbo :D


    Have you considered using a non heated 1 wire oxygen sensor for less electrical drain?

    I have a wideband in my bike (too bad you werent closer or i could have let you use it and saved you some cash at the dyno)

    http://www.xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic ... tml#147297

    If i leave it on, the whole header pipe gets hot, so im sure its drawing quite a bit of power for the heater.

    I was looking at your pic, and I thought thats what that was. Good job!

    I wonder if a single carb (for us poor folk) is a possible setup.

    Was wondering how things are going with this project. Hoping the reason for the deleted pics and other project links are due to a possible patenting project. There are loads of people on these bikes, hondas, kawasakis, etc that would love to convert. Anyway, how are things?

    i am truly chomping at the bit tp hear how things are with the FI setup? I just got a sECA Turbo and was looking to add auxillary injectors for more fuel under high boost, but a full on injector swap sounds even better.

    I would love to see pictures of your accomplishment. I would definitely convert my 82' XJ 750 to fuel injection.

    GAH!
    I popped in to reread this project, and all the pics are gone and the link is no more.

    Has anyone heard from SQLGuy ?
