    Got my order from Len 2 days ago and all was good. Being in Canada I was walked through what was going to go on with shipping and what Len said was spot on. I used the post office and didn't have to pay brokerage fees which was nice. Thanks Len! Now I just have to make time for the install and figure out how to use the "doughnut" tool.

    Yep, USPS and Canada Post always.
    Never use UPS from the States.
    They show up at your door with your package in one hand and their other hand extended for the extortion payment.
    I sent a stereo component back I bought off eBay. The UPS fees were going to be way more than I paid for the piece.
    2 weeks later I got it after the vendor resent it through the post office like he was initially instructed to do.

    I ordered carb parts from Len on Tuesday, they arrived Friday at lunch. Great service. Yes, I used UPS, and yes it was costly, but 3 days delivery to Canada, wow. Bike will be running that much sooner. Thanks Len

    I had a fantastic experience dealing with Len for parts to rebuild the petcock on my 83 750 maxim. Parts were shipped last Tuesday afternoon and arrived at my door on Thursday afternoon. Cleaned up the petcock internals and installed parts, no more leaky petcock. I live in Canada and am very happy with the help I received from Len. Based on my experience on what I discovered inside the petcock, i would recommend everyone should consider rebuilding this important piece of the fuel delivery system and get your parts from Len. Thanks again Len!!!

    Shout out to Len, I've made a few orders and every time the service, speed, and quality of the parts has been excellent. Could not recommend highly enough. Finding small parts for an old machine locally is a fool's errand and XJ4Ever has been a lifesaver.

    Have to thank Len for stockpiling the parts I ordered. The complete fork rebuild kit is awesome, the label for the ignition switch is very clear and sharp, and the best of all the handlebar switch rebuild kits were coolest:they contained all the parts to make the controls whole again. Having all these parts at one place in a world of piecing things from eBay or uninterested big shops is a huge convenience. Plus when I sent my request for the parts, Len replied like at 3AM, who does that, to me that says dedication. My only sadness, is that I wish I could buy more, but maybe in the future. Thank you Len for the parts.

    Len has been very helpful, and I have never seen such an extensive parts list, application guide. It takes a little effort but wow does it ease your mind as to getting the right parts the first time.

    I have placed a second order and starting a list for my third. troubleshooting the bike with links to videos is also awesome

    Well I have to say the 82 XJ550 Maxim has been a little bit of a challenge to restore. However Len has made the task so much easier. If you page through all the info they (xj4ever.com) available for all the models its very comprehensive. I just received a very large order to rebuild the carburetor bank for the XJ550 and the parts looks great. I would have had a very hard time coming up with all the parts that were available through xj4ever.com. This was at least my 4th order from them and the service and info has been invaluable. Im not new to restorations as I have completed at least 9 bikes in the last 4 years. In each of those I spend a lot of time researching where to get all the parts needed for the build.
    Thanks Len for making this one a little easier.

    The best, especially if you're digging into your carburetors or anywhere else you need to be 100% sure the parts are correct and premium quality. Great dude, great service, great parts = great results.

    Oy, and the processing/shipping time for orders. When I email on Monday with a request I'll have an order number by end of the day, then paid and shipped by COB Tuesday - so the parts are in hand for the weekend. Simply the best.

    I can't thank Len enough at XJ4ever parts for all his help and patience. I owned an XJ750 Seca when I was younger and recently picked up a barn bike.
    I've been working on it all winter and Len has been great source of info and help with getting the parts I need.

    XJ4ever will continue to be my first call for parts for my bike!

    Thanks again!!!!!!

    Len from XJ4ever has been amazing to work with, not only does he have the hard to find parts but is a wealth of knowledge and has helped me avoid some unnecessary purchases as he provided some additional troubleshooting information that was spot on.

    Every one of the dozens of orders I've placed with Len over the years ALWAYS makes me question why there isn't a "Len" for every other non-XJ forum I'm on. I would be in heaven.
    My order this week was no exception. A new AGM battery to replace the one I bought from him 6 or 7 years ago, and a replacement clear plastic fusebox cover (and fuse ID sticker), which perfectly fits the fusebox I bought from him and installed 13 years ago.
    Len, you must never retire (haha).

    Len - Thank you for the tool rental - Carb sync went well and things are running smoother now.
    You do a great job getting things out quick and communicating well with us. Much appreciated!

    P.S. - I agree with SecaMaverick - you can't retire ;-)

    I’ve been a customer of Len’s for a decade. I placed an order today (Saturday) and it’s already shipped. I’ve never had such good service from any dealership, no matter what brand (and I used to work at one).

    Len at XJ4ever has helped me with multiple orders over the years, and has truly been an invaluable resource for the XJ community here.
    Just got a few items recently and he'll continue to be my go-to for my XJ related needs.

    So..I ordered a 10K replacement resistor for a spark plug cap. I was notified it was shipped on the 18th with my selected slowest USPS mail service since it was just one little resistor. Of course I was warned it might take 5 - 10 days before receiving. Yesterday, the 20th, it came in my mail delivery! Nicely done Len and USPS.

    I couldn't be happier with the advice and parts that Len provides. Quick resonse time with loads of information and always the right parts. I will definitely continue using and recommending him as a resource for anything an old xj bike may need.

    Last fall I picked up a 1982 xj750 maxim that had been setting in a shed for 15-20 years I am going thru it now and have ordered carb and brake system parts thru Len at xj4ever.
    All parts were spot on and I am really happy with the parts and the information relating to the specific area being worked on at this time. Carbs have been totally cleaned and back in their rack ready to be installed and the MC, calipers, brake lines rebuilt and ready for install. Much to go but looking forward to it rolling down the road and if I need additional parts I'll be checking with Len at xj4ever.

    Big thanks to Len, asked his advice on my 85 700 maxim X, in pretty short order had my brake lights, tach, neutral switch and horn working.
    Super fast shipping and a wealth of knowledge.

    As a new owner/member this is very impressive knowledge and service.

    As soon as my spark plug caps arrive I hope to fire the old girl up!

    Cheerd,
    Andy

    I honestly apologize for not figuring out how to give this a bump earlier, but I have done my best to suggest XJ4ever/Len throughout threads on Facebook.
    Unfortunately/fortunately I haven’t had to reach out to Len for some time thanks to their top tier sourcing of OEM parts & guidance. Thanks to them I’ve successfully maintained my bike (valves/Tach/electrical/gauges) as well as carbs (entire rebuild kits/tuning/etc), everything in between, and the bike has ran without a single cough-up since Fall of 2021. My unlimited thanks to their excellent & timely service & advice/guidance. My bike runs like it would have off the lot back in 1982 and I owe it to you

    Overdue review - Len at XJ4Ever is more responsive to his email than some people are to their phone. With my most recent order, I asked about some parts last Thursday, and had them on Saturday. He’s always incredibly helpful and on top of getting parts together and sent out ASAP. As always, thanks so much for your help!

    Got the 114 main jets and just put them in. Definite improvement! Thanks again Len, for helping me keep this old bike going strong! If anyone's looking for parts, don't hesitate to get them from Len. Fast shipping, excellent advice and a pleasure to deal with.

    I'm a new rider,member and owner of a xj650 seca. The response time of xj4ever is impeccable. The customer service is great and they dont make you feel like a idiot when you cant find the part number. They just find it, give you a quote and wammo. The only problem i had was figuring out their ordering system they use. But, if slow down and read its in black qnd white. Anyways, they rock and look forward to future purchases with them.
