    This is how a business deal should run. Fast shipping, nice packaging, and they went above and beyond with the service. Thank you. I will be coming back.

    Thanks again, Len, for getting me the right parts quickly. Check out the pic-you don’t get that kind of support with cheap eBay parts!

    Len provides excellent and quick service. This left side turn signal lense was nearly impossible to find and I was happy to pay up for it.

    Thanks for making the bike look right again.

    THANK YOU LEN - you found the correct carb drain screws after another seller (not from this website) sent me the wrong ones, because they didn't know what they were talking about. Len is the motorcycle whisperer. Great to deal with.

    Everything came incredibly fast and there were even step by step instructions included. Fuel line and filter fit great. I'll report back on the spin on oil filter conversion kit once I'm able to get my oil filter cover off...

    Thanks Len!

    Len works much faster than I do, which is the best problem to have. Finally got my oil filter case off, and getting the spin on conversion installed was a cake walk. With the step by step guide even I couldn't mess it up.

    Not great at progress pictures while covered in oil but I tried:

    Huge shout out to Len! His parts speedy delivery got my bike up and running after i snapped what was possibly an original clutch cable from 1986 on my xj700. Also got my front and rear brakes working like new as well. Past year i had the head gasket and valve clearances done using his parts. I will continue using his services. Fast replies and fast shipping. The service rendered was great.

    Great service from Len. He responded to my messages promptly while I was deciding what to order, fair pricing and quick delivery. That's not to mention the invaluable service he provides with his detailed how to instructions found all over this site. One of the parts I ordered was backordered, and I still received it less than a week after the original order.

    Some props to Len, very helpful with the large orders. and with the small details. He really does help narrow down what you are looking for very quickly. I ordered all of my items later in the day. They were all sent out within the same day, received them all within two days. I chose the priority shipping. Someone is helping me out so I needed my parts a little sooner. All in all, xj 4 ever will altogether be my parts go to on my bike. Len you are the man, thanks for putting customer service and knowledge at the top of you priority for all of us, I say thank you!

    I'm looking for
    Damineding 4 X Carburetor Carb Rebuild Repair Kits XJ750 / XJ 750 Seca 1982-1985

    But for a xj700s maxim air cooled. But Amazon doesn't diliver to Holland. Don't even know if nozzle is right size for a xj700s maxim. Does that mean that the xj700s maxim I have can be thrown into the trash bin? Now replacement parts to Europe? Can someone please help me.

    Send your bike to me in America :)

    Actually, contact Len at: info@xj4ever.com
    He'll hook you up with everything you need.

    Who needs Amazon anyway?

    I may have said it before, but I've been ordering parts from Len as far back as I've been a member of this forum (2006). My latest order met my every expectation of quality and accuracy.
    If -- once in a blue moon -- something isn't as expected, he's always made it right. If I had more than two thumbs, they'd all be up.

    Hey Len,
    Just wanted to say thanks to you and all who maintain xjBikes.com. Sooo much valuable info. Tonight, well morning now, I completed my very first valve shim adjustment. I've really worked hard to complete all the tasks for this build on my own, in effort to learn. I was soooo intimidated at the thought of even checking the valve clearances, but I decided to go ahead and check xjbikes, and of course, someone has put together a complete how-to. Very good instructions, because I did it successfully without issue. All the valve clearances are now within spec, and it really wasn't difficult AT ALL!!!!! In addition to that, I've rebuilt the starter motor using your rebuild kit, and several other things. Said all that to say, THANKS SO MUCH... Xjbikes has made my '82 XJ650 Maxim cafe racer conversion project a breeze ...and the fact that you offer the best parts is such a convenience. No need to waste time searching. That's awesome!!!

    Hi Len! Such a pleasure to do business with you again! Great parts that are correct the first time, and fast shipping. Also you always send informational links to helpful forum pages in regards to replacing/adjusting the parts ordered - very thoughtful, very helpful!! My '82 XJ550J was back on the road again today with a new clutch cable. I enjoyed a nice ride this evening after fixing it this afternoon. My thanks to XJBikes, and especially XJ4ever!!

    I've been working with Len for the last month or so...I'm restoring a 1982 XJ650RJ Seca. Parts availability is amazing. Communicating with Len has been great and his knowledge about the bike I am working on is over the top... Shipping is quick and parts are perfect. When I get home and there is a package on the front porch it's like Christmas!!!

    I gotta say, working with Len has been a pleasure. He was always fast to respond and gave all relevant information. Parts all came super fast and I'm finally all done with my valve cover gasket replacement and valve adjustment. Just in time for some great weather next week too! It feels like beating a dead horse here with the positive feedback but seriously; don't go anywhere else for your XJ parts, it's not worth the hassle, his prices are better anyway.

    Just as another little kudos from someone who had a real shit time with another small time niche dealer of parts for my Nissan Titan truck, Len, you do business the right way and I truly appreciate the service you provide to this community.

    Had to get a few more items needed recently from Len.
    As usual, he had the things I was looking for, and got them soon after ordering.

    You can always trust the quality and top notch service though Len @ Xj4ever.com

    Len, you have proven many times that you care more than most and have a huge plethora of knowledge. Got my order in the mail yesterday. 2 days including shipping is amazing. Just to point this out. I sent out a package over a month ago paid the huge amount of $25 for next day service....... the receiver didn’t get it till the next week....... anyhow thanks Len your the man.

    Got my valve cover gasket and rubber grommets from the house of Chacal the other day. Great service and quick even though I opted for standard shipping. Now I need to decide if I should check valves/make shim swaps now or if I should wait till the Carb Clinic so I can swap shims right there (if needed and if available).

    You can only do them here if you trailer the bike in. It can only be done when the bike is cold..... overnight cold. If you ride it, we can’t get an accurate check. If you even start it up and then shut it down, we can’t get an accurate check

    I wasn't thinking of doing it on arrival day. Will it be ok to tackle it the next day? I am assuming some people will be staying more than one day but I have no idea of any schedule.
