Pumba the XJ750 project

First fit up of the R1 master cylinder, and there is clearance issues.
Due to the switches hitting the tank, I will play with making some bar risers.


Few more things to update soon.

 

Any new progress? Cant wait to see this done.

 

Finished the headlight mounts and fitted the indicators



Instruments back on as well as the R1 master cylinder and clutch lever set up.


Will tidy up the wiring when I work out the brake lines and throttle cable




Footpegs now tidy and new rear brakes.

 

Old seat cover;


new seat cover;

 

Updates!!!!

Only weeks away from road testing.


Now to sort out brake lines!

 

Looking good! You're mill work is really impressive.

 

All the other Alloy work is mine, but these were made by a user on here!

Took a lot longer than expected, but life can be like that.

 

wow this is very inspirational! There are some extremely talented people on this forum. Great job and please move to maryland so you can give me a hand =)

 

Tank liner kit worked out great


Busted the bank and got braided brake lines


Front brakes now finished.... All lights now working.....

Shortening some of the harness to get a neater look 8)


I smell a road test very soon....

 

Hi darkfibre,
Did you use KBR tank liner ? I just did my tank with it and it came out allright....I can see one small bubble in the top section of the tank but I think it'll be OK. The stuff takes a loooong time to dry: I think my bubble might have been caused by me putting the tank out in direct sunlight.

Schmick work on the brakes, well, the whole bike actually.

Hope to hook up with you and cds1984 for a ride when I get mine out of the lounge room (soon hopefully!)

 

Updates over the weekend

Pics for now, words laterz.

 

Looks great, I particularly like the seat/tank fit, nice work.

 

Front end is now complete. Anti dive units are currently set up as adjustable rebound settings

 

Milestone!

On the road !

Good work

 

bike looks great

 

Congratulations! Looks like a ripper!
How do the front brakes feel?

 

Brakes are outstanding - no grabbing, and a nice progressive feel. I would recommend the brake upgrade to anyone!

Spent 2 hours this morning at the pits.

Failed on switches hitting tank

Quick bar change and we should be on the road!!! (after a few more hours jumping through hoops at traffic)

 

Nice!
Damn switches! Surely everyone realises you don't need to turn the handlebars 'that' far anyway... sheesh!

BussoBiker is organising a ride for December 11th, Augusta to Busselton and I need at least one other XJ to ride to Busselton with, since I figure we would meet up with him in Busselton to ride to Augusta to ride back to Busselton! Hopefully non_quotidiun will be up and running by then too, since he is from those parts also! What do you reckon?

That oughta test everything out a beaut too!
