Welcome back, brother Chevy! I have read a few of your "older" posts along the way... so I recognize the name...
Glad to hear you scored another XJ! Internet's a great thing, huh???
Us XJ guys gotta stick together...
Always good to see another one's saved from the salvage...
Hopefully, you'll get her running great, and maybe we'll see you here in the middle of the country sometime soon?
Good Luck,

Pivotal Point...
Bike looks good. Just may have been lacking TLC from the PO. I'm always relieved when a bike in this condition finds its way to someone who will do what's needed to put it back on the road in full function.
Enjoy the process and the final result!Comment
