Can I post pictures here?

I know where and when that picture was taken, but I don't know who AL is?

pictures? I'll try...

Here's how adding a fairing from a 79F and Krauser hard bags and rear signals from 79F turned out on my XJ



If it comes through, guess I got it...

Bike looks GREAT Mike!!

[Mike Hart]

thanks

Gee Deano, that's a big compliment from such an enthusiast of nakedness!!!! I'm in love with my XJ again, was even going thru the pics you sent of the XJ brochure today.

Have you checked out the maps I posted for The Deuce?

Re: pictures? I'll try...

You actually fit behind that fairing ? As tall as you are, it would seem that it would be a tad-bit of a close fit for your legs. I put a fairing on for a while, but the extra weight on the front end affected the handling and made way too much extra noise (not to speak about the extra engine noise that sharply more acute in the cockpit).....

Yes I fit

Hi Chuck

Yeah, I fit in no problem. The weight is negligible - maybe 20 lbs
max? So far, I only notice positives - comfort, quiet. Sounds like
opposite from your experience! The progressive springs in front
(plus the Tkat FB) have so far handled things fine. Okay, it's no
KLT ;>) but hey I'm happy.

Nice work Mike,,,,,I still have an XJin pieces and between yours and Deano 's I see I have my work cut out for me.
Dean, yours is the best I've seen yet. Nice work as well. I might have mine done in a year or two at my slow pace.
Mike where did you find the krause bags??

Krauser bags

Thanks Ken. Gary Berg's XJ is very nice, so is Carolyne
Mulvaine's. Mine looks better than it is in the photo -
the pipes are rusty, the engine is grungy.

I found those bags on a 79F parts bike. I think they may
still be in business, but new bags are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Finished XJ Tranny

Hello everybody,
Just trying out the new forums, and wanting to post a few messages to get rid of the "NEWBIE" status! The pix is not very good, but it shows the XJ1100 that we have been working on finally ready for the road.....sans license and inspection!!! Kevin "Ex" only lives a few blocks away, and so he gingerly road it over there so he will have quicker access to it Monday PM after he gets done with the DMV.
I left the washing/polishing to him.
Well, this is going to take a little more work in trying to figure out how to post an image to these messages!! I see the IMG button, but then it's asking for a special address to link to, like a files section of this website, not a command to upload the picture persae!?!? Will try later.
T.C.

I may have one custom made. I know some very talented metalsmiths,,,. Just don't want another mortgage for art work,,

xj back pad

No, Ken, that is a rare OEM Yammy backrest!
Got it from a dealer in 87.

You must have seen Gary Berg's XJ back rest thing,
it's really good.
