she is finally done (81 xj550)

she is finally done, my little seca/ crotch rocket, or whatever you want to call it is finally done, the modifications include, custom home made seat, custom home made free flowing muffler and baffle, lay down bars, pod filters, carb re-jetting * and i don't care how hard people say it is to modify the exhaust and pod filters and not have flat spots in the mid range, with the propper re jetting and idle screw mixtures it can be done fairly easily, and she flys for only being a 528 cc bike, also inclutes pot and polished intake and exhaus runners, rebuilt tob end with new/ lightly used cam, cam sprockets and timing chain, honestly when i first got this bike , which was givin to me for free as a piece of rusty junk, that it could ever look this good, all it needs now is a decent paint job

 

Looks good Chadly. What'd you use for a clutch cable? BigFitz had some issues finding one that would work when he swapped to lower bars on his 550s

 

it is actually th same cable, i just had to re route it

Very nice for a rusty free bike. You did a great job on it. Congrats on getting it done.

 

thanks
