Transforming boring into FUN! sort of a madmax/cafe look

anyway you can put your stock light back on?

 

the 5" one is the only one i have. it's what was on the bike when i bought it.

 

yeh both the f18 and f16 are for 7" headlights, i think you`ll be hard pressed to find a 5" windshield. have a poke around on flea-bay see if you can find yourself an original xj700 7" headlight bucket, i see them from time to time for cheap.

i`ll keep a look out for you.

 

heres a couple a 7" headlight item no.230054808882 just the headlight and a 7" headlight and bucket assembly for a xj700 maxim item no. 190043186450.

 

thanks for checking. i do like the look of the 5" light better but i really want to be able to tuck inside a little something anyway. thanks.

is your light truly a 5" or is it actually a 5 & 3/4" ? Reason Im asking is that I saw some decent looking shorty windshields in dennis kirk that would fit a 5 & 3/4" headlight.

well.... now you've got me wondering.... where is it supposed to be exactly measured from? i'm sure one for a 5 3/4" would work but i didn't see any in there that floated my boat. looking for more of a sport-bike style.

 

tricky buggers... why would they be selling the headlight and outer ring without the rest of the bucket? thanks for looking anyway.

 

What do you think of this one cruz? http://www.nationalcycle.com/catalogue/ ... 31-180.jpg
This one should fit. I think this is the one for me.

 

that ones definitely not bad. it's the perfect size i just want one that wraps back over the gauges more. yeah i know, i'm picky. lol. i might go with something really off the wall like this one. who knows. i originally wanted a cafe style fairing but this is a consideration.

 

actually, I like those. you get the head lights and all. I wonder how it would look on a cruiser style bike. I can definatly see it on a street fighter or a hacked up sport bike. If you go with one of these, make sure you send over some pics!

 

yeah i haven't quite decided if it would look way out of place or not. it might just make it look like a real old school street bike. but then again, it might also make it look like i'm trying to polish a turd! lol.

 

My buddy had a SV and bought a fairing off of this site.
Wild Hair accessories

It looks osrt of like this one. Some cool ideas but sort of spendy though.

 

those are some sweet fairings but damn that's expensive. the one i posted a pic of above is off ebay for a regular price of $89. looks like it's the cheap one for me!!

 

What exhaust do you have and which jets did you find work best with the pods?

 

unfortunately i'm not gonna be much help. why you ask? well..... exhaust was on the bike when i got it and has no markings whatsoever. second, just recently figured out that someone swapped in a 750 motor out of an 83 xj750ml into it. so that wouldn't help much if you've got a 700. all my jet sizes and settings would be completely different.

 

Holy shit those are nice! But I'll say like cruz; way to expensive for my taste.I want to keep it under $100.00 myself

 

I love the 750 Engine. I really enjoy taking the 750 engine a little North of 65-Hundred revs and pretend I'm in a Formula event. I knew about how well the XJ-750's, seven-hundred forty-eight cc's can take the whip.

So, I've been riding like I'm running second to every damn thing on the road. Pass the leader. Suddenly, back in second place. The next guy ahead is the leader, now. I gotta go get him! Keep it cranked-up, use the exit ramps for practice and keep the power on through the line in the esses.

I cannot imagine how I survived "Summer '06 on the Max" without a ticket.
Does that mean I was out pushing that 750 around, and matching-up rev's every time I used a highway off-ramp? Going fast for fun? Maybe chasing a bunch of Plastic-Wrapper's a little farther than I should?
