    I've been searching around for a good xj retailer and it looks like I found one! Got my valve shims today, as fast as I could have hoped for.

    Len is constantly providing above-and-beyond service. I'll email him late at night letting him know I need parts, FAST. I'll never learn my lesson about putting my orders ahead of time because XJ4Ever is just so -damned fast at shipping and processing orders.

    Thanks len, saved my ass a hundred times.

    Thanks again, the parts are great. I have already put them on and hope to have the bike on the road soon. It's so nice having to work with factory original parts.

    Thanks Len for the new carb seals! Shipping was remarkably fast considering they were shipped to me in Canada.
    Seals installed and the bike now runs awesome! It actually idles without dying! ;)

    Len, thanks for getting me the Colortune in a snap, (I call it the Magic Pill). If you can't buy one, beg and/or borrow one. It helped me clear up all of my 'symptoms'. I understood tuning before, but now I am a believer about how adjusting the idle mix affects all RPM's.

    Order one today!!!

    Although I have not received my parts yet, Len must be the most patient vendor/person ever!

    I must have emailed him at least 10 times about various stuff before I FINALLY made my first order! Then my order took 3-4 emails to get everything correct.

    He even shipped the parts the next morning. (I ordered at like 11pm or something).

    Thanks again and I have many saved part numbers for the next order I an afford (carb and oil leak work upcoming).

    :D

    Parts all arrived in the UK safe and sound. Only downer :( The UK Tax Man sticking his oar in and demanding more cash.

    However, Thanks to Len and the ease of ordering I know that I can access parts that UK Yamaha dealers take 4ever to get and I will receive the right part!

    Len,
    I consider myself a newbie even though I have been forum member for over two years. I am in the process of restoring an XJ750 and have gathered copious notes for this restoration. During this time I have come to rely upon you for what I consider the most important part of this restoration process, your technical advice, in regards to parts needed. I will not submit an order until you have reviewed and approved the parts list. Never once have you offered anything less than sound practical advice. THAT is why I order my parts from you.

    Thanks again for the quick shipment, I have become spoiled knowing that before the 'ink is dry on the check' I hear the doorbell and the delivery guy is waiting with my parts in hand.

    Thanks again,
    Kent

    I'm a real newbie on here having recently bought my xj650. I've got say that xj4ever has got the best service of ANYWHERE i've ever ordered parts from...I ordered on wednesday, shipped the same day and had parts today (friday). They even came with an expertly written instruction sheet for the mastercylinder sight glass that answered a few questions for me...i was gonna wing it till I got those. The parts are nicely packaged and labeled and look like excellent quality. hopefully I'll put them to use in a couple days. lots of thanks to Len. :D

    Just got all my parts yesterday. Only one week from the time Len said it was out the door! Till i had it in my hands. As always a pleasure to deal with, and the parts came in perfect condition.

    Thanx again Len, I'll be getting some more stuff for the winter overhaul in a few months!

    Hi Len
    Air box to carb rubber boot.
    Got the part quicker than I expected looks a good quality item certainly far more supple than the orginals and should do the job of connecting the carbs to a custom airbox with a bit of tweeking

    Thanks for the Quick service and reasonable prices. Ordered parts Mon night, confirmed Tues., received Thur afternoon. Items were clearly marked.
    I wish parts list forum had "go to" links, instead of having to stroll down the long list. But great site.

    Len,

    You da man. (The Norwegian Postal Service that held my parcel for two weeks after it arrived does, but that's another story).
    All parts are labelled and neatly organized.
    Big thank you from the cold =)

    wjbreu: I've found that making an Excel sheet of all parts that fit my bike greatly speeds up browsing and orders. I've added items, pricing, and columns for ordering. Using filters, I can sort the list to make it even easier.

    Wow, I think Len strapped my parts to a jet headed to Ohio the minute I ordered! Great service, excellent prices and super fast shipping!

    Thanks again for the great resource of XJ parts.

    My new fuel petcock and related parts arrived today. Everything exactly as it should be. Len had marked "antique cycle parts" on the customs declaration form. To ensure that customs would believe that the contents were indeed antique, the crumpled up newspaper used to cushion the parts was from 1998! Talk about going the extra mile! :)

    Thanks Len

    WOW! Was I surprised to see my order had already arrived when I got home today.. I ordered monday afternoon and Len shipped it out the VERY same day, and it arrived Wednesday. Man, that is SUPER FAST SERVICE!

    Haven't had a chance to try out the merchandise yet, but it looks well packaged.

    I didn't want to wait another day to let you know how much I appreciate your super service. While your quick replies to my previous correspondence has to be commended also.

    xj4ever=Len4ever, The man with the tools= AAA+

    Thanks again Len,

    Bob

    P.S. If there are any newbees that haven't already checked out Len's merchandise yet, I highly recommend you do so.
    He will help you any way he can!
    Seriously consider a carbtune and a colortune no matter what you ride.

    Received my carb parts here in Australia in a timely fashion. I'm pleased to finally have the parts I need to fix the once mysterious vacuum leaks that made it impossible to balance. Now just need to break the carbs down for a third time this year. :roll: Not looking forward to removing the butterfly screws. Thanks for giving me something to do this weekend. :)

    When I first became a member I knew very litttle and as I read through the forums to get a better understanding of my machine, there was always one name that kept popping up when it comes to parts and that is Len.
    XJ4ever will be definitely be my number one place for all my future parts needs. The service is just amazing!!!!!
    Thanks Len, you are the man.

    Len, thanks again!! You came through as always with some great parts, and I continue to wonder how in the world you can afford to stock all these parts for these old bikes (though I am grateful for it!)! So far every time I've ordered from you, the parts have arrived exactly as described, on time, and have been in stock every time. Thanks again for making it so easy to keep these old bikes on the road!!

    Thank you for the parts and the service. Ordered the parts on Wednesday last week and they were in the mailbox on Saturday when I got home. Also, thank you for the labeling and packaging it makes it very easy to find and identify each part.
