    15" apes? I guess aguy has to keep his armpits dry. 15" is illegal here in wisconsin I think 13 1/2" is the limit

    I'd rebuilt my xj550 carbs and found out the PO's jetting was wrong. Ordered carb parts from xj4ever were reasonable and arrived fast. Great customer service.

    Chacal,
    Did you drive the part to my place and leave it my mailbox? There is no way the postal service got it here that fast.
    Thanks for all the help, were back up to 100% and it feels good. Your the best!

    Rescue-party Chacal

    Recently I wanted to repair my front fork and after I had disassembled it I discovered the inner fork tube slide bushings were in a very bad shape and had to be replaced with new ones. Bad luck for me but those parts are not on Yamaha’s parts list and are apparently not for resale because no workshop in the local neighborhood could deliver them.

    For me there was only one alternative left and that was to send an e-mail to Chacal with the question if he could help me out and he could with a fork rebuild kit which contains both metal slide rings for the (upper) inner fork tube and the (lower) outer fork tube.

    I ordered all the parts I needed to rebuild the front fork, paid with PayPal and within a week I received my order. I reassembled my front fork with the new parts and they all fitted like a glove.

    Thank you Rescue-party Chacal

    Hey Riens, I am in your neighborhood, it's all just one big world-wide XJ community!

    Glad that things worked out, and glad to help. Thanks for your business and let me know what's next!

    You need parts at affordable prices and fast delivery? Get em' from chacal, not doubt about it. Can't tell you how happy it makes me when a parts dealer out delivers my expectations.

    Simply fantastic!

    Chacal comes thru again. Great service and quick delivery. I got my parts today. Now I just need a little alone time with the Seca.

    Chacal's service and shipping are so fast, I bet he could deliver a pizza in under 15 minutes :D

    Thanks Flash. Please be sure to specify thin or thick crust next time.......


    Tiki.......the energizer bunnies are the ones who do the work. I'm merely the drumsticks, I have to keep pounding, and pounding, and pounding on them............

    I just wanted to add a voice to the chorus singing Len's praises.

    I had a charging system problem on a Seca 650 and wrote him. He replied with a thoughtful step-by-step troubleshooting guide. With his help, I figured out the problem (so far, at least!), and ordered some inexpensive aftermarket alternator brushes which arrived 3 days later.

    Admittedly a small order, but everything arrived as expected and the service was first class. To quote the Terminator: "I'll be back!"

    Thanks, Len

    I got my parts from Len yesterday. Can't wait to install them this weekend. He helped me with finding new master cylinder, brake lines, etc. that would work with the flatter bars i'm putting on my maxim. Thanks, Len for your time, expertise, and great parts!

    I heard that Len was fast on shipping but I'm not so sure! Ordered a factory manual at 3:00 am. Got home at 7:30 no manual. Woke up at 4:30 in the afternoon cleared up the bad zip code I gave him. Left for work an hour later, still no manual!

    Keep up the great work good sir and I am ready to dive into the valves so standby for a shim order.

    bought over 500$ of stuff for my XJ from chacal awesome communication and service. You cant go wrong when purchasing from him, if he was on ebay he would have like a 100% positive feedback rating.

    Can't say enough about Chacal's Superior Quality Service!!! This was my 2nd order placed with him and he far exceded my expectations BOTH times. Answered ALL questions/concerns, very pleased with delivery time (less than a week), and was very very pleased with packaging of parts. Everything was there, each part was individually packaged and very clearly labeled. Look forward to placing my next order! Thanks again!!!

    Got my second order this year. Super Fast Ship. Everthing is right. I can't wait to install my new "chacal" fuse box complete with Fuses, back gasket, decal and gasketed lid. The wire extention kit should prove to make this job a snap. Thanks Len you are the parts dude.

    Needed some float needles to finish the carbs. Ordered them over the weekend, and they appeared on Thursday just in time for the weekend. Not only that, I only needed the needles and not the entire assembly, so I saved a bundle.

    Thanks Chacal!

    Thanks Chacal for not only the quick delivery, but actually having everything in stock that I ordered, maintaining a parts inventory that size has to be an incredible task.

    Thanks again!!

    Got my key blanks and YICS cleaning tools today. As usual, great stuff. I also wanted to share that I ordered one of those screwdrivers for the idle mixture screws in my last order, and it is a grrreat little tool.

    Thanks for being the XJ superstore, Chacal!

    I got my order from XJ4ever today. It only took 2 days. It amazes me that I can get some parts easier and for a better price than I could 15 years ago, for the same exact model XJ. I don't think I have ever trusted any online vendor anymore than I do XJ4ever.

    Now if it will stop raining so I can do my brake job. I don't have a garage. Maybe I can use my neighbors shop tomorrow while it rains more, so I don't have to do it Sunday when the weather is supposed to e perfect for riding.
