    Fantastic service. Order was filled the same day I placed it and the parts were here on the third day. Also got some information in the package to help make sure my project gets completed with no problems. I like it!

    :D Delurking for XJ4ever

    I sent a quote request late Sunday night, figuring I could check in on Monday.

    Len (Chacal) sent me the quote before I had a chance to log out! So I sent in my order, and he acknowledged it ... well after midnight!

    Parts shipped out of Atlanta first thing Monday AM and got to me in Chicago on Wednesday.

    Incredible service!

    Thanks guys for the feedback! You've been keeping us really busy, and we appreciate it. Hopefully the snow will quit one of these days (weeks, months.....) and we can all actually go riding again...... :D

    A few weeks ago, I ordered Len's oil filter spin-on kit as well as new rubber seals for my tach gear drive, to solve leaks I was having from both places after I was in an accident.

    I had never worked on a car, let alone my first motorcycle before, so I didn't have many tools, but the instructions were spot-on, no grey areas to get confused with. The union bolt part of the filtration system gave me a few hours of frustration because my wrench wasn't large enough—of course Len had warned of that in his instructions.

    In the end, I have the best oil filtration system I could get, and no leaks. Very pleased with that.

    I'm now in the process of ordering a new starter button, along with parts for replacing my speedo cable, and I predict being, once again, a very happy customer when that arrives.

    Len's business is one of the most aptly named I've ever come across. XJ4EVER, indeed.

    Great stuff Len! Thanks again for matching the lens up properly :)

    Oddly enough I never bought anything from Len.
    But I SOLD him something...How weird is that?!?

    Anyway, his quick and curteous responses thruout the entire transaction was reassuring... Coming from someone who is wary of internet shopping...

    I see why everyone here loves doing business with him....

    Mucho Thanks, Len.

    I didn't think I'd be able to find that "standing handle" anywhere. Your "decent condition used" left-side unit was in better condition than my right-side match. Excellent follow-up communication and super-fast on the shipping.

    You can bet that I'll be contacting you in regards to a spin-on filter upgrade, with a likely oil-cooler addition, in the near future.

    Just got my third order from Len today, and the feedback for all three orders from original pm to the arrival of the goods has been %100000 top notch 8)

    The shipping has always been quick, but this time I wanted it to be really quick so I opted for the faster shipping and it was really quick!!

    I wouldn't hesitate to ask him for any of your parts needs for these xj's, he is super knowledgeable and will help point you to what you do and do not need.

    Len once again excellent service! I ordered my shims online Sunday, shipped on Monday, and I received them Friday morning. Exact parts I ordered and needed. Thanks!

    Normally I receive my parts on Wednesday mornings but this week we had idiots abound that slowed down the mail service. The American Airlines computer failure (not so much idiots as technical I hope), terrible bombings in Boston (idiots), ricin in the US Mail (idiot).

    God bless the USA!

    Excellent deal once again. Got the seals I needed for the tach drive incredibly quickly...and the Yamaha emblems for the tank are perfect. I'm keeping them for an eventual repaint of the project.

    Couldn't be happier.

    Len comes through again. Ordered a fuel valve rebuild kit. Came in about 10 days. Not bad for the far North. My son and I rebuilt the fuel valve and installed it. Gassed up, and wow no leaks. Started up, sound great. Now one more afternoon of work and RIDE.
    Thanks again. Len

    Just made my first Len XJ4EVER purchase.

    Len is living proof that - when you buy a product - you're really buying into The Experience. Peace of mind is priceless - and he is generous with his.

    My XJ650 is just a couple weeks old, so Len:
    . Made sure I got the right parts and tools for my bike.
    . Shipped with lightning speed.
    . Even included detailed installation best-practice instructions!

    Care. Quality. Peace of mind.
    These things are rare... and very appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I've been referring to Chacal the last week or so for advice on rebuilding carbs and have done several transactions for parts in this week. VERY easy to buy from. GREAT communication and advice. He ships parts out super fast. He offers a great service to us XJ owners. I look forward to doing business with him again in the future.

    Do you want the right parts? Do you want to feel like the person selling it to ya knows the difference between a shim and a sham? Do you need it in a couple days? Do you desire great communication and an easy transaction? Do you want that person to come with 38 pages of positive references?

    Look no further - you WILL NOT be disappointed with the result. If you own an XJ, chacal is the man to see!

    Thank you Len - you have a customer for life!

    Once again another great purchase! I think this is #6 for me now.

    You ask a question and then Len sends you an encyclopedia of knowledge :)
    Just awesome.

    Amazing communication, great prices, good shipping times (I'm in Canada so it does take a bit longer sometimes because of customs).

    Len, big thumbs up!

    Planning a next purchase already.

    Okay this has been a long time coming. I've been purchasing parts from Len for a couple of years now and his quality of service is just unmatched. It never fails to astound me how helpful, polite and honest this guy is. He has everything you could ever need to restore your XJ and he has even gone through the trouble of finding aftermarket options in most cases. Every time I have ordered from him, the parts were securely packaged and shipped in a very timely manner. Needless to say I'm happy to be a lifetime customer of XJ4Ever!
    Thanks Len! We're very fortunate to have you as a member of our community

    I emailed Chacal last week(before even having an account here) but have been trolling the forums for a few years. He responded very quickly and had my parts out the same day. Ordered the port blanking tool and a spare set of rubber seals for it. Its a very nice looking tool I was impressed to say the least. Even arrived a few days earlier than expected as well.

    I've been ordering from xj4ever for the past 5 years, everytime is an absolute delight. One on one help, fast service and fast shipping! Two days from ga to pa. The parts are top quality and my bike wouldn't be in as good shape without Len's service! Will be ordering again!

    Contacted Chacal again a week ago Sunday(16th) afternoon, he responded back within an hour. I honestly was not even expecting to hear back till Monday some time. I needed to order some replacement float needles/seats as my rubber tipped ones had died. After looking over the options I had a few questions regarding the all metal needles versus the more stock like rubber tipped ones. He was quick to respond to my concerns and clarified everything for me. Had my order shipped out Monday and I was back on the road by Wednesday. All metal needles are working great and now I do not have to concern myself over the E-10/E-15 fuels chewing up my needles again. Now just to work on fixing up the rest of the system for it(non E rated gas is not available in my area).

    Ordered some more parts from XJ4ever, this time seals for the carb butterfly shafts. Picked up replacement e-clips, fuel o-rings, butterfly screws, silicone grease, and idle mixture caps. Everything showed up extremely quickly and Len even went above and beyond checking into some things for me not related to an XJ bike even(still a yamaha maxim though).

    Well ordered some more parts form chacal after the 5 local shops couldn't prove the correct parts. Just some simple spark plug caps. Well Chacal came through again. I probably wasted at least 20$ in gas going all around town when thats about how much they cost from chacal. Ordered them. And got a quick email response saying there on the way. Couple days later had the parts. Thank you again.

    hey all, i've been gone a while as the bike has been issue-free for some time and i've other projects in the fire (don't we all?). anyways....i call Len today to discuss my starter issues and after spending considerable time on the phone with me, we diagnose a dead solenoid.
    i'm pretty sure i could order the part from many places but who would accept 3 phone calls from me as we work thru the diagnostics (and did a little mig welding along the way...sparks!)?
    Len is as steady as they get, always there to help, ready with the part i need.
    thanks again, Len!

    With all the suggestions from the members of the forum to "contact Chacal" and all the positive reviews he receives it shouldn't be any surprise that here's another extremely satisfied customer. Shipping was lightning fast... I ordered on Sunday (yes, Sunday... and Len communicated with me, set up the order and everything) and received my order on Wednesday. I will definitely, without question, be ordering from him again. Thanks Len!

    Thanks for the great parts Chacal, much appreciated!

    The left side cover looked excellent considering it was the low grade, and the seals are just what I needed for putting my carbs back together.

    Can't wait to put in my next order,
    quick shipment and excellent service!
