    Once again Len you sent the parts at break neck speed! Thanks for the parts. I got to at least send a couple of shots to you guys so that you can see where all of those parts have gone to! I almost feel like an OCD patient with a fetish for XJ parts =)

    Thanks again Mr. Len
    Cheers
    Ken

    Darn USPS making Len look bad...I put in my 5th? order with Len on Monday and I was getting used to getting my parts in two days. So Wednesday I come home all excited, and no parts :( . Thursday same. Friday they finally come in :D and I look at the postmark date...7/6, the day I ordered them (and I'm sure just minutes after I placed my order), priority mail. Len=reliable USPS=not quite as reliable

    they were putting new wings on the USPS jet that has been taking Len's parts up north to Mass. :) Len has been wearing their jets out with all his Santa-like super fast shipping.

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

    Just ordered more parts from Len, and if this one is anything like the last three orders, I'll have everything, no mistakes, faster than I would have expected, for a great price! It will all be top-notch quality, packaged well, and I will be able to look up the part in the online catalog if I have any questions as to the orientation, lubricant, or proper installation.

    I gotta admit that every once in a while, I find a couple of parts elsewhere that are a little cheaper than getting them from Len. However, it's usually not by much and his service so far has been IMPECCABLE (more than I can say for the huge online retailers). And, all of the other parts that are much cheaper from Len than I can find anywhere else, or that I can't find anywhere else, MORE than make up for a few pennies here and there. Therefore, I'm happy to order from him and give my money to a small business.

    It's also nice ordering from somebody who knows the parts that he's selling. Most of the guys at the Yamaha parts counter have NEVER worked on a Maxim, and look at you like you're crazy when you tell them you're working on a 30-year old bike.

    Cheers to Len!

    Thanks again Mr Len.
    Parts just came today and are already installed. Just gotta balance and tune the carbs. i should be roaring around the streets sometime today. PS After great trepidation, I finally hit the start button to see if I did it all right. I know you wanted a video but, I was too big of a chicken to do that. Now I wish that I had! The old girl rolled right over after the first attempt. RPM's were at 6000 till I noticed the choke was full open. After I closed it, cut the RPM's by half. I still need to monkey with the carbs to dial it in right. Couldn't have done it without you! Thanks again

    Cheers
    Ken

    Chacal,

    The back ordered caliper slider pin boots came in over the weekend, thanks again. Of course now I'm thinking I might as well get new pins to match...when will it end?! :wink:

    Hi Len,

    Been meaning to post a replay regarding the UJoint and "Spin On" Oil filter kit you sent me. The parts arrived quickly and were in great shape (hey everyone, I highly recommend Len for parts!!! great communication too!).

    The U-Joint is already in the bike, and I am getting ready to install the filter kit. I just wanted you to know about one slight issue, the K&N filter was supposed to be black, however it was white, and will stand out like a sore thumb. I'll paint it of course, but thought you might want to check your filters...

    Thanks for the great service!
    Carlton

    Got another order last week via priority shipping(my suggested method to anyone else)
    The valve shims came in well, the Texas heat did stick the small bags to the shims. No biggie, just cleaned with oil and wiped down any "tackiness"
    Thats what texas heat will do sometimes.

    You can add me to the list of satisfied XJ4ever customers.
    I've made a number of orders while rebuilding the top end as well as the carbs. This guy delivers!! And fast! One and a half days on my last order. He will continue to get my business.

    I've placed two orders, and only have good things to say.

    From expert assistance via PM or email....to quick shipping to having everything I need. I will be placing many more orders with chacal in the future. :)
