Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Order arrived today. Can't wait to try the colortune plug (Snow Snow Go Away)!

Thanks.

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Hey MiCarl, you're welcome! And there's nothing that can chase the cold, snowy blues away quite like playing with your new colortune plug today..........

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Spoken like someone who has never had too much snow the get the barn doors open. I knew I shoulda put a sliding door on it.

 

Well, it was just a little pre-weekend rap----had nothing to do with reality!

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Just sending a shout out for Chacal here. I ordered a box of various hard-to-find carb parts from him; he was the cheaper than the dealer, sometimes by a lot, and he got them to me in three days. Thanks man!

 

order came today great horn / light, choke switch. cleaned the insides like ya said Len and works perfect. your a maxim saver for sure. thanks

 

I'm looking for a couple sets of the plastic screws & nuts that hold the windscreen onto the front fairing for both a 1981 and 1982 Seca XJ550. One set should be clear, the other black (but I won't be that picky if either is still available).

Also looking for one of the flat rubber rings used to seal the front fairing to the headlight.

And last but not least I need Standing Handles for the same bikes.

 

Hey thanks Oak and Miks, I appreciate it!

Khornet, I'll have to check and see what's available and get back to you, but at the current time I am out of stock of both styles.

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Okay, folks, this right here is an O-fficial Sign of the Apocalypse.

Chacal? Out of Stock? <GASP>

:lol:

 

Well, it's not really "out of stock" except in the most general sense....I just haven't researched them yet. I did find a place that I'll call on Monday.....finding the white 6/6 nylon screws-washers-nuts is not a problem, but getting them in clear or black (as original) is the tricky part!

The tricky part about the part, see?

It's late...........

Can u tell?

 

chacal I PMed you did you get it I know you r bussy

 

Yamyboy.....I just checked and I have not received a PM from you....can you re-send it? Thanks.

 

Iv tryed again not good with these thing you know

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

i''m looking for some forward controls for an '85 XJ700 Maxim if anyone knows where to get them.

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Ebay

 

the new carb boots and clamps made it today. another fine purchase and fast shipping. thanks chacal. now on to tuning.

 

Any news on these plastic screws/washers/nuts or the headlight rubber ring?

 

Miksatx...thanks, good to hear. Sorry for the mix-up on the first shipment! Those boots were a lot "newer" than the last set I think!

Khornet....I think I have tracked some down, and am having some samples sent, but it will be a week or so before I know whether they are going to be right. Bear with me, I haven't forgot about it! And a quick question: I notice that the '82 fairing that I have around here had the clear screws........did your '81 have black screws?

I think the headlight rubber ring is going to be something that I can't provide at the present time.

 

Yes, the 81 has the black screws. The 82 has the clear. I'll wait patiently for your next msg.

OK, keep me in mind if you can ever locate one of those rubber headlight rings.

Is the black rubber edging for the windscreen/fairing available?

 

do you have a price on a bare head from an '83 750 maxim?

 

Hey Mac, thanks for writing. Sorry, no help on the cylinder head.

 

Khornet, I can't remember whether I answered your other question, but if I didn't here is the fairing windshield rubber trim:

HCP1881 original black rubber fairing windshield edge MOLDING, fits all XJ550 Seca 1981-82 and XJ900 models, each:
$ 17.50

 

Got my order, Very satisfied with my experience.
Looking forward to the NEXT order.

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Received my blank key

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Len,
Thanks a lot for the parts that I got thru you. I am very satisied with the quality of your merchandise. It is nice to find ONE place to get almost anything I need for my bike. Emailing someone who knows about their product is a lot better than searching for hours for a part and then trying to work with someone who doesn't know anything about what they are selling.

I will be placing another order soon. Looks like I will have to rebuild some brake calipers soon!

Thanks again,
Jerry

 

Cool, I'll take one but I'll wait until you find out about the plastic windshield screws.

 

studs and flange nuts made it today thanks again for the super service and fast shipping Len.

 

Hey guys, thanks for the words.

Hornet....I should know about the screws next week......I've found a supplier, and am awaiting final price quotes. The "clear" ones won't be cheap, and they aren't 100% clear, either----the machining process produces very fine scratches in the surface, and thus the screw head appears slightly "cloudy". Since it's a surface imperfection, MAYBE they can be spun-polished to remove the surface haze and have them be clear again (the material used is actually clear, it's just the machining process that clouds the surface). Haven't been able to find anyone who injection molds these screws (which is the only way to get them crystal-clear). I'll let you know. The black screws/washers/nuts should be no problem, and I'll have pricing on them at the same time.

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Len,

Thanks again for fast turnaround and quality parts. I can't believe the PO left the spring and washer out of the oil filter assembly. One step closer to riding season! Can you do anything about this snow?

Thanks,
Dan

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Len,

Thanks for all the help and the FANTASTIC service! I just got my order after placing it only last Friday!! I would DEFINATELY recommend to everyone on line to GET YOUR PARTS FROM LEN!!

Thanks again!!

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Got all my parts Len, thanks. I really appreciate the fast service!!!

Doug

 

Ya'll are Welcome x 3!

Thank you for your business and trust. Let me know if there's anything you're looking for that not in the ad, I've actually got lots more than what's listed!

 

Khornet........okay, I finally got in samples of the 550 Seca windshield mounting screws. Now I'm in a quandry and need your help.

The BLACK screws that I received have a wide, rounded, phillips head design....what I think is called a "truss head" design in the fastener industry.

The CLEAR screws have what is generally referred to as a "panhead" design, which is basically what is used on almost every phillips head screw that you generally see.....i.e. 99.9% of the metal screws on the bike have a "panhead" design phillips screw.

http://www.smithfast.com/msheadstyles.html

The '82 fairing that I have SEEMS to have original screws (those are the clear ones), and they are of a "panhead" design.

The '81 fairing that I have came without factory screws, or I've lost them somewhere along the way.......

Can you confirm for me what head design/style your fairings have, by year? If you could give me the measurement (outside diameter) of the screws that would be great.

Also, are you sure that the screws in your fairings are original?

Thanks for all your help!

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Len,

Thank you so much for all the help finding the parts I needed for my '85 xj700. You really cleared things up very well, and I'm satisfied that I got the things I needed.

I have to say, customer service is always very important to me, because I think that attention to detail in answering questions is also represented with attention to detail in filling orders and dealing with possible problems (not that I expect any!). So, needless to say, I am very happy so far and will certainly come to you first with any future xj parts needs.

I haven't put on the parts yet, but I'm getting pumped to get my clutch redone before it gets dry enough to ride here in MI. Dang thing kept slipping past 8000rpms. What use is an xj when you can't use the top 2k worth of revs?

Thanks again,

Sean

 

Hey Sean, thank for the kind words, and I'm glad to help. Let me know if can be of any more service to you, and be careful when you're bouncing around at 9K+!!

 

carb boots made it and got them installed. another great purchase and super fast shipping. Thanks Len

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Kudos on the Great Customer Service Len !

Got the intake boots for the Turbo installed after cleaning the carbs and a quick check out of the turbo's lube lines and it fired right up after 3 years of sitting.

Thanks,
Richard

 

Thanks guys! Glad to help. Great news Richard!

 

Len, sorry I've not gotten back to you yet on the fairing screws. I should have both of my bikes back in my garage where I can measure the screws in a few days. I'll get back to you on that.

Are there any NOS 550 Seca Chainguards available?

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Hey chacal, got my ignition assembly today.

Thanks for the super fast delivery, holy cow I was impressed.

 

Bostick.....you're most welcome, let me know if there's anything else you need.

 

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I received my FSM for my 750 in record time. Brand spanking new and I have already been speed reading to get familiar with what I should already know. Thanks for having what I needed and shipping it to me so fast. I hope I don't have to buy anything else, but I am glad to know someone like you is here to help me with my cycling needs. I look forward to doing business in the future. Many thanks, Stovie

 

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

I have to say ive been nothing but impressed while dealing with Len, hes very quick to answer any questions/requests, quick to ship, and extremely friendly and professional. I'm sure that i was a real pain in the ass, not knowing what i wanted/needed, but he helped out with everything I needed. Thanks Len, If i come across another XJ I'll remember you. You dont have any nighthawk parts, do you?

 

Hey GoLike, no help on them ferrin', ooops, I mean non-XJ parts, but good luck to you.

And thanks again Stovie!

Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL

Chacal,
Received my parts as described and very well packed. I was very surprised to see the box on my table when I got home considering we got clobbered with two plus feet of snow from this stinking blizzard on Saturday. Thank you for the great service and you have definetly got my repeat business and recommendations.
James
