    Just want to add in with all the other great comments about XJ4Ever... I've placed several orders for parts recently for my bike, and all parts were professionally bagged and tagged. Shipping is quick and everything is packed well. No issues here. Everything I expected and more! (And I don't usually leave reviews)

    Quick replies, quick shipping and quality parts. Told me that i didnt need a certain part i requested because it didnt fit my bike and instead recommended the correct part so you know he's not just in it for the money. He's definitely here to help and get all your xjs purrin like a kitten!

    yup, not much to ad. always super happy with stellar customer service and super fast shipping.

    tip; don't pay extra for faster shipping it won't get there any faster and you will be out the extra cost. len is just that awesome!

    Just got my first order from Len, intakes, airbox boots, valve cover seals and gasket, and some other stuff. Excellent service, fast shipping, and knowledgeable guy! Thanks! I will be back.

    My 4th order from Len, everything arrived fast, it was all the right parts, and didn't cost me a remortgage on my house. Thanks for all the continued support!

    I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Len. Unbelievable service. Even when I don't even know the proper name of the part I am looking for. Super helpful, patient and really quick service. Thanks a ton!

    Just received my (sixth? I've lost count) order yesterday (Monday) for my spin-on oil filter conversion kit after placing an order on Wednesday. Kit comes with all the tools and parts and instructions with color photos. Now I'm just waiting for the garage to warm up enough to install it... -7F is not comfortable. Parts look great, and the customer service from Len is fantastic as always. Thanks Len!

    If you just arrived to this forum, Len is the man. Scroll through the list of parts, figure out what you "need" (how far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go) and Len will have the knowledge to get the right parts, as well as the patience to deal with the novice bike mechanic's questions. Once ordered, your parts will get to you very quickly, and then you can have all the fun in the world tearing your new project apart. Its good to know someone is on your side.

    Just got my latest order from Len yesterday. That was super fast shipping and the parts look great. I'll be replacing the front brake pads and putting on new braided stainless steel brake hoses. My hoses are from 1982 so it's time. Thanks for the help Len and keep up the good work!

    Got my order Friday, everything was very well packed, all there.

    I was a little disappointed in the condition of the used carb body, it was fairly dirty, oxidized and a little rusty looking, had to clean the venturi and piston slide with 3m pad so the piston would actually go in the hole.

    Just a little extra prep, overall I'm satisfied tho.

    So, I came home from work this evening and asked my wife if she got the email with my tracking number; I was pleasantly surprised when she handed me the package. That's some awesome customer service, I will definitely be ordering more in the near future.

    Len - I can only echo what everybody else has been saying: Thanks!! From your knowledge to your parts availability it was awesome working with you. Parts were shipped quickly and communication was top notch. It's not easy finding stuff for my '82 XJ1100 so I really appreciate your hard work and dedication.

    And now possibly my seventh order with XJ4Ever has gone off without a hitch. I ordered late at night on Tuesday and the parts are here Thursday, and that's using the slow truck for shipping. Len is awesome as always. May he have good health for all of his days, because I'm pretty sure his health is now directly tied to my bike's health, which is already tied to mine. Ergo, a good day for him is a good day for me.

    Have to agree with what others have said before me. Len is an AWESOME guy to deal with. Im one of those guys that normally doesn't know the proper terminology for the part I'm looking for and hes on his game big time. Haven't found better customer service anywhere in a long time.

    Thanks Len, I received the parts ordered this week, everything is perfect. The amount of info on this site is awesome. It takes time to read all you need to know, but then I received the right parts and tools, which save time and money. I highly recommend your services, and will order from you any other parts I need for the bike!

    Len is awesome! Even when I don't know the name of the specific part I'm looking for, Len can usually decipher what I'm trying to say. Thanks so much! I'm sure there will be many more orders in the future.

    Another great review for Len at XJ4Ever! Placed my 3rd or 4th order with him early this week, quick and orderly response to clarify I was ordering the correct parts, and then boom 2 days later there was my package! Only spot to go for no hassle transaction and guaranteed great, attentive service. Thanks again Len!

    I just want to say thanks to Len for his great product knowledge and service. I received my 2nd order today. I am sure I will order again, it is great to know you can still get parts for these 30+ year old XJs!

    Yet again, Len has impressed me with his XJ parts and supplies. I was dealing with a massive oil leak from the oil filter canister. A quick PM to Len led me to ordering one of his spin on oil filter kits. In just a few days, the parts were at my door. I was able to install it this past weekend. Only 30 minutes of my day was required for the install. Monday, I and the wife rode the old iron to the beach. Over 120 miles total, not one piece of evidence of a leak.

    Not only am I impressed with his parts availability and rapid shipping. I am impressed with this upgrade. With the right filter spun onto the adapter, oil filtering effeciency has more than doubled. Every XJ should be sporting one of these kits on the lower front of the motor.

    Len,

    Thanks much for the speedy delivery of the parts I ordered and for all the help during the process.
    I have no doubts that the parts will fit - unlike the ones I ordered somewhere else that were supposedly for the model I have.
    First quick look does reveal a difference. So I am happy and lesson learned. Next time I am coming straight to you :)
    This will actually not take long because I am in need of some new shims.

    Thanks again,
    Gabor

    Len,
    Thanks for the speedy delivery of the parts ordered! I appreciate being able to order replacement parts and knowing for sure that they will fit, no small thing for older bikes like these. Thanks for this one of a kind service! You'll be hearing from me again real soon.

    Thanks!

    Don't hesitate to order from Len at xj4ever.com

    I have order parts to rebuild the petcock, master cylinder, front caliper, and replace brake lines on a recently acquired 1982 Yamaha xj650. The parts arrived very quickly and Len's input was spot on. Parts fit great and are working as good as new. More orders to follow as failed or failing parts are discovered on this bike. Finding this website and the xj4ever.com site has been a treasure. Makes getting an older bike on the road much easier.

    Thanks Len and xj4ever.com

    Helped me pinpoint some parts, decide what would be best, and sent them so fast.. I am waiting on one bearing I order from another site before I knew I could get parts on here and then I get to rebuild!!!

    Thanks a bunch!

    Thanks Len for getting my clutch lever out so quickly. Second time I've ordered from XJ4Ever in the couple months of owning my 650 and everything has come in quickly and as ordered. Excellent communication and customer service.
