    Oh my! How much did you have to drink? I think the exhaust is going to be the least of the problem. You said you needed a project? You sure got one!
    Good luck and have fun.

    Slanted motor is that what they call the 600 diversion? Looks like it will keep you busy for a while.

    I wonder if the swingarm would fit in xj550. It would be nice to get the disc brake on the rear.

    That looks to have almost down draft carbs on that, like the VMax?

    You bought the perfect start to a scrambler or streetfighter conversion.

    ^^^^That is a good looking bike with nice lines... Not too sure how good any of those fenders (front) would work on wet or muddy roads/trails?

    out of the garage now all small parts painted and waiting to be refitted but cant get frame and swinging arm blasted and painted so e bay here i come loads to buy and cash in pocket bigist problems are the rear caliper and exhaust think a delvic exhaust will be fitted just cant find a rear caliper for the right price , sorted new clocks and side panels for £50 will be collecting them soon , the bike will be on the road in months not years like the xj 550 i built ,

    stay safe keep in doors and look after yourself.

    I noticed that the tires are mounted reversed on the painted/coated rims. I could be seeing it strange cause of the photographs. Just wanted to give a heads up.
