    I received my latest order from Len; Morgan Carbtune and Gunson Colortune. As always, the tools were packed well and arrived quickly. He provides great service and stands behind the products he sells. I wish every company I dealt were as good.

    Incredible supplier. I have never seen anyone as organized and helpful as Len. Always seems to have whatever I order in stock which is incredible all by itself. Thanks again Len.

    Again just need to say thanks Len for the fantastic service you provide. Most of the parts I order nobody else carries and you always have them in stock. And your fast shipping can't be beat. Not sure what a lot of us would do without you and XJ forever. Your the man.

    Len replies to e-mails promptly, ships orders promptly.
    Good-looking parts, reasonably priced, nicely packaged.
    A real pleasure.

    My 1982 xj650rj project would have hit a dead stop along time ago. If it wasn't for Len's constant flow of quality parts, XJ knowledge, and speedy service. Thanks buddy.

    xj4ever is the best online parts site i have ever worked with. Len has the fastest email responses and the service is amazing. Atlanta, GA to Spokane, WA in 2 days. My local Yamaha dealer still hasn't gotten me my parts after 8 days. I am a Harley-Davidson Mechanic by trade but have worked on everything. I have never had such a successful online ordering experience. I will recommend this site to all XJ re-builders and custom bike builders. 35 year old bikes still have a chance

    Thank you xj4ever

    I have been in a remote location so this is a little late due to no internet service. I have ordered parts from XJ4Ever since I found this website about 8 or 9 years ago, getting parts for my 550 Maxim. I always get the correct parts, with fast shipping, and the correct installation data/pictures/instructions. Never any problems. My current project is an updated electrical fuse block (the complete installation kit). I have my tool tray modified per the print. I just need to solder in my wire connections and mount the fuse block and I'm done. Len has a lot of useful maintenance information that is very helpful on his website. He is my single "go-to" source whenever I need something. I haven't been to my local Yamaha dealer in years since anything that I ever needed was half the time not available, or the parts person was not knowledgeable enough to find what I needed. I stopped wasting my time fighting metro traffic to stand in line at the Yamaha dealer since I had lost all confidence in getting the correct part or any part at all without waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive, and then having to fight traffic again to pick the items up. I order the parts I need through XJ4Ever.com, Len double checks my order against my bike model, and the parts arrive in my mailbox in a few days. That's what I like!!!! TJ in Virginia.

    Once again Len killed it! Got my order in 9 days to Ontario Canada! The exchange was a bit of a hit, but I know I have the right parts and support with them if I need it!

    Thanks again Len!

    The exchange hit is probably still cheaper than gas and your time
    Hats off to Len he is a master partsman

    Not really when 200 USD is 325 CAN, but it's near impossible to get certain parts in Canada. And like I mentioned, Len will get us the right parts.

    Chacal is the guy to go to for parts. Very Helpful and patient with all the questions that i asked and even after my shipment arrived I still had questions that were answered within the hour.
    I will be returning for more specialty parts and any other impossible part to fine.

    The best!! totally recommended.
    Thank you

    Have used this site a couple of times and can find parts for my 85 maxim here that I can't find anywhere else, I have also asked some technical questions and always had a impressive answer, I often asked myself after talking with these guys, what is your work history, lots of knowledge there...

    I ordered a set of SS brake lines for my 1996 XJ600 from Len. They fit perfectly on my European bend bars and stock master cylinder. He threw in a free set of crush washers and was very communicative during the whole process. A+, 5 stars, would buy again.

    Couldn't ask for a better sales rep quite a depot of knowledge.
    I just ordered a carb rebuild kit on Thursday morning and here it is on Saturday.
    Not sure where his parts come from but I am located on the Pacific Coast.

    Len,
    I rereceived the carb shafts seals and washers and the new butterfly screws. Everything was perfect and installed perfect. What huge difference it made. More vacuum now the petcock even works with the new found vacuum. Well work the money. If your doing your carbs replace the seals. Makes tuning a lot easier.
    Thanks again and I will be back.

    Needed some carb parts. Didn't have all the specifics but I gave this seller some details and he promptly helped me out. I'm confident I got what I need and the response time is great!

    Len hooked me up with the right parts, got em shipped to Calgary, AB in 8 days. Perfect fit, awesome customer service.

    Too bad the exchange rate is such a PITA, but that's sadly outside of his control.

    Once again Len supplied the parts I needed this week, along with step by step instructions, with
    pictures, on how to install the new brake lines.
    He also replied to several specific emails I sent with questions about the installation.
    Thanks Len!

    I have placed a handful of orders with Len and he has always provided great service at a great price. Everything I placed an order he confirmed it and even made sure I was ordering what I needed, like the right sight glass for my brake M/C. I have always received the orders very quickly. He has made it possible for me to bring a bike that was outside in the northern New York weather for 12th years to a state that is almost ready to crank. I probably have one or two more orders first though. Thanks Len for all of the great service, and thanks everyone else, I might not have asked that many questions if any at all but every time I got hung up or had a question I searched this site. Every time I found the answer and was astonished with the vast knowledge.

    Oh darn you mentioned the sight glass should have added that to my order, but Len@xjforever ships parts out so fast I was too late. Got my Monday order yesterday:)
    I've done the math. It's faster and cheaper for me to order from Len than to drive to my local Yamaha dealer and get parts. 7.95 priority post (us$) vs $15 gas and my time !!

    Can't say enough good things about Len and XJ4Ever! This is my first bike build/fix and he has been very knowledgable, helpful, and is getting me solid parts on a wicked fast timeline! In fact he should be getting yet another email here in about 3 minutes for more parts! Thanks Len for everything.

    Chacal is the best. Great service and very responsive. The manufacturer changed a design without notifying him but he diagnosed the problem and I had the new parts in no time.

    The service is incredible. They sell you what you need, offering advise along the way, and making it easy to be sure that you are getting the right parts. Len specializes in the XJ Rescue field like a surgeon, and has my complete confidence. I'll definitely be coming back this winter when it's brake overhaul time!

    This is my third bike restoration, and I can tell you it can be a huge headache trying to find accurate parts for older bikes. XJ4ever website literally shows all the possible parts for your XJ, and even includes helpful notes on many items. This is unheard of for most bikes. Truly has been a pleasure ordering parts Len. I won't hesitate to order from XJ4ever again.

    First a big thank you to Len the parts Guru of all time. Without whom we would all be scratching our heads and scrapping our bikes. Secondly an unrepayable (Not repayable; that cannot be paid back. Meaning, pronunciation, example sentences, and more from Oxford Dictionaries.)debt of gratitude to the XJ bikes web site for their incredible wealth of knowledge given freely to us all (a donation to them would be appropriate!!) and organized in such a way that even I can decipher it. Many thanks to you Len and Snosheriff

    What can be said about Len that hasn't been said a million times before? If you're ordering parts from anywhere else except here than you're missing out.

    Just picked up some JIS Screw drivers to break the rack on those pesky carbs. I tried one screw before ordering and felt that even with a JIS I'd be here all night. I just broke top and bottom in under a minute with minimal effort with his screwdrivers.

    I haven't installed the fuel rail o rings yet. But do I even need to wait to comment on them? I've ordered from him for the past 7 or 8 years because he's someone I can trust will always deliver top notch parts.

    Affordable, reliable, quality and super helpful/informative, as always.

    For years I had trouble with the "Philips" screws on my XJ550, not realizing they were really JIS. As a result, I was in danger of stripping a lot of screws. When I found out they were JIS, I started using the "cheesy" JIS screwdriver that came in the OEM toolkit. I had avoided it thinking it was just a cheap Philips. Even that OEM toolkit JIS screwdriver does a better job than a Philips.
