@@meskutunas good move. The stock fender is sturdy and stiffens the forks. I'm having trouble finding a small after market one that isn't a flimsy POS.
Awesome build. I have the same, 82 xj650rj. What rear shocks did you use? And how hard was it to rebuild the front forks, and where did you source parts from for the rebuild
hi, it was hard to rebuild front forks because someone before did not install spacers to push out seal, so it was some tough job ;) some parts from ebay, some from www.bikeparts.lt
Hi, thanks ;) I found similar motorcycle color on Pinterest and made color from picture ;) 3d leather seat made my friend who has company and making such things from leather
Jovany Flores all the surface from 2mm. steel I made myself and all the 3d leather made my friend who has seat production company. "ASTO" company in Lithuania
Hey nice build man! Curious what front forks you have there? Are they from an xj 750? I want to throw disk brakes on the front of my project and I'm trying to find an easy front set to install
Hey, real big fan of your work on this bike! I have some questions for you if you would be willing to answer? I wanna pick your brain about this build, I just bought this same bike.
Donatas Tamkevicius Hi I would like to do a few jobs on different motorbikes . Would you be willing to do that? I can bring the bikes to you once we agreed to price. Thanks
Sebastian Linares hello, I can say that you can make project from all of the bikes, but it depends how big is your imagination and how much money you want to spend ;) when I started project I wanted to have minimum 50kw of power. This stock model is cheap and has 53kw and also its easy to make beautifull project without huge investments... this was 2 years ago. This baby has turbo charger right now ;)
Dustin Walters its not rare. yamaha xj 650 seca turbo is rare and I never do project on similar rare bike :) if it will be rare after many years I can restore everything very easy... I have all stock parts. P.s. Sometimes you make or do things not for the profit or money... someday you will understand that :) peace
Bikes were built to be ridden and have fun on and mod, it's cool to restore them and I really like seeing that but it's not ruining a bike by any means to change it.
