    Len is not only an asset to this forum, but also to thousands of XJ'ers across the world, in keeping their XJ alive. His passion for these bikes and this community is clear, as evidenced by his knowledge and honest business practices. I'm a member of a number of automotive/motorcycle forums, none of which have a vendor/community relationship half as meaningful or positive as the one Len has with us XJ folks.

    Len, per always, thank you for your help!

    Len thanks so much for the awesome inventor, sharing of knowledge, and great business practices. It is an absolute joy to do business with you and I have confidence you'll be there every step of the way as I go through this bike piece by piece!

    Thanks!!!

    I'm not gonna break XJBIKES' LAW #2 by saying "I told you so" but I should get a bye because it's not a tech "toldya."

    I wouldn't have been able to restore and subsequently maintain my Secas without Len, period.

    Shipping has been so fast it amazed me. Also Len, you've been more than amazing when it came to customer service. You're truly the paragon of excellence when it comes to online ordering

    Chacal/XJ4EVER is an awesome seller as some of you already know. Extremely helpful and quick to respond when you have a question...even on weekends and late nights! Great prices, fast shipping and a disturbingly knowledgeable guy behind the keyboard. Really can't go wrong.

    Don't waste your money at the dealership....

    Len,
    I continue to be amazed at your fast service, parts availability and your continued assistance with any issues I have in restoring my 1982 XJ750RJ Seca!

    Many Thanks From a Very Satified Customer,

    Just like to say a huge thanks to Len with my first (and definitely not last) order for my 84 XJ750RL project.
    PM'd him with a few questions & he was back to me in a few hours (even though it was morning here in Oz & probably midnight over there).
    Thought it was going to take forever to sort out my needs, with the time difference & all. But it just took XJ4ever!!!!!
    Parts were shipped on 27/8 & arrived at my door today!!!!! EXCELLENT!!!

    Thanks again Len....I will be placing another order soon!!!

    Cheers mate,

    Tim

    I was joking when I told my friends that my parts would be arriving 3 days after I ordered them. Needless to say, they arrived in 3 days!
    Fantastic service!
    Extremely knowledgeable and helpful in getting all the right parts.
    Put in my most recent order 2 hrs ago. Just got email that it has already shipped.

    Certainly makes working on the bike easier when you don't have to wait for weeks for parts.

    Well done.

    Thanks Len

    Again, Chacal comes through, being relatively new to XJBikes I have come to rely on him to keep me straight when I order parts. His blazing fast shipping isn't bad either.

    Thanks again for all you help,
    Kent

    New to the forum, and to the XJ650. Like a lot of people I bought the bike just thinking of the riding and not the maintenance, then I got here and realised I needed to take care of valves and rear brake shoes ASAP, then see what else needed to be done. After reading all the posts which said to buy from Chacal (Len), I figured I might as well.

    In the interests of full disclosure, I did see a few of the parts a bit cheaper on another website, but I think that's made up for by the fact that if I hadn't contacted Len I would have missed a couple of crucial parts I needed and bought an extra part I didn't need. Frankly I think it worked out to be about the same price and this way I felt confident instead of frustrated (which I would have if I screwed up and bought the wrong stuff).

    Len was super helpful, easy to work with, and on the ball about getting my parts out to me. Shipping was very fast and everything made it to me well packed and safely.

    Excellent experience all the way around!

    You may find the same items on the net cheaper but you WON'T find anyone more helpful or knowlegeble on XJ's. Remember, he is dedicated to only XJ's and offers some parts unobtainable from other sources. In other words....SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GUY. Welcome to the site by the way :)

    Just got my second order in from chacal and, once again, extremely satisfied with the speed and quality of service. Great selection, great prices, and great service... a rarity!

    Thanks again Len!

    Len's fast shipping still surprises me. I had parts on my door step a couple days after order.

    Len, the spin-on oil filter setup went on great, and everything else was just what the doctor ordered, as usual. Thanks for the service you continue to provide. It's great to say that after the dozen+ orders I've received from you.

    Thanks Len for the great service , I was impressed by the vast amount of info u gave in replies to my questions with this order and previous emails as well. This is the way service from a great supplier should be , like it used to be, dealing with a business that truly cares about each customers needs. I had complete satisfaction with entire transaction , nicely packaged and on my door step in 3 days , awsome, it was a pleasure , an will be back soon!

    Shipping was not as promised--He said 3 to 5 days, only took 2.

    ...and the aftermarket mirrors are a huge improvement. I got the ones that are said to be like stock but without Yamaha logos. The 4th set of mirrors I've had on the bike, the first ones that let me see what's behind me at 65mph.

    I ordered some parts from Chacal last week and it was a great experience. Incredibly fast shipping! The parts were just what I needed and worked out great with very fair prices. On top of all that Len is a great source of advice that you will not get if you order elsewhere on the web.

    I highly recommend getting your parts here.

    I am going to be placing another order in the near future.

    Thanks Len!

    What is this battery sensor gizmo that you speak of? Will it work on the turbo seca?

    As always, Len takes good care of me. Four days to get to Kansas: awesome!

    Hi Devo, yes, the battery sensor over-ride that we offer should work on the Turbo bikes.

    Len you are truly the man! Everything i ordered was IN STOCK (a concept that the Dealerships will never, ever understand) and came two days after i placed my order via PM. TWO DAYS! The parts were well packaged, organized and 100% correct. Not to mention the best prices i could find anywhere! I must say you have earned yourself a new lifelong customer for anything XJ related and you can be sure i will be telling every XJ owner I meet about you. XJ4ever is now my personal savior. Keep up the amazing work

    If you are working on an XJ there is no better site on the internet that i have found for parts. Great service, inventory, prices and advice. the only problem that i had was finding out how to order the parts. Therefore, if you are new to the site and need parts, click on the large banner ad on the upper right corner of this page or email to info@xj4ever.com.

    And another satisfied customer ... does Len ever sleep?

    I'm sure I don't know where this guy finds the time but every email was answered promptly and professionally with a lot of good technical advice thrown in. Support this service and he will keep supporting us. Even from here it is quicker, cheaper and easier to order parts from Len than tyring to get the local cowboys to get them for me.

    Goodonya Len !!

    Another successful parts order from XJ4Ever. My order was filled and shipped out to me the same day as I placed it! Parts were on my doorstep two days later. I will never, ever, EVER buy parts for my bike anywhere else. Len is the man that keeps me riding! Great job as always and I definately look forward to doing business with you again in the very near future.

    Just got my stuff, Thanks Len! The best part about it is that any part requiring a "procedure" (like my new brake lines) comes with printouts and step by step instructions!

    Thanks again Len!

    I can't say enough about ordering from XJ4ever . Len and I went through my huge order a couple of times, and after modifying it per his suggestions, got it to me in just a few days.

    After doing a complete inventory of all the stuff ordered, not a thing was missing. All packed well and organized. I'm looking forward to doing business as a life long customer.

    By the way, the "How To's" are a huge plus, as he walks you through some potentially challenging tasks, and has you doing repairs on your own like a pro.

    Thanks again!

    Order went out Friday and was in my mailbox on Monday afternoon. Cant beat that kind of service. I will never order parts for my XJ anywhere else.

    Thanks again
