Who wants XJ parts?

[Cobia]

I have the opportunity to buy an XJ whose odometer reads 3K miles but has been neglected. I don't have the space or time to restore it and it appears to be complete.
How many people would be interested in parts from this bike?
The exhaust seem to be OK, the instrument cluster looks good, the side covers are good, etc..... It's a Florida bike so there's some oxidation on the aluminium parts but nothing that can't be polished out.
My intention is to buy it and part it out and I'm trying to get a feel for who wants what to see if it's worth it.
Also, if someone is interested in buying it and restoring it, that's a possiblity as well. It's rough but not that bad... 3K on the odometer!!!
Let me know what you think. I'd rather someone buy it and restoere it but I already have one and an '80 std so.....

If it's fixable, let someone who wants it, have a chance at it, if not...
Does it have a sissy bar or luggage rack? let me know.

That's what I would like

If I could get someone that would restore it they could get it very cheap,but I don't know anyone in So. FL who would want it. Unfortunately the top part of the sissybar is gone and it doesn't have a luggage rack. Would you want anything else?

[Fredjohny]

I would be interested in the side covers and front forks

[Cobia]

Interest so far....

Hi,
Thanks for all of you that have responded here or have IM'd me. This is what you have asked for so far:

Tranny and gears
Forks
Side covers

OK boys and girls keep them requests coming!!! I'm getting close to making the decision whether to proceed with this or not and your interest is the deciding factor.

Thanks

Link to Parts XJ Pics

BTW - Below is a link to the Photobucket album containing pics of the bike.
My friend who went to see it took the pics and tells me the owner still has the seat and the cover looks good except that the staples that attach it to the pan have come off. He also has the missing side cover.

I hope the link works!!

Cool!!!
So far we have:

Tranny and gears
Forks
Side covers
Exhaust
Tank

We're definitely getting there. I'm not doing this to make a killing, just trying to help out and to cover expenses and make it worth the work I'm going to put in it. But I at least want to cover my expenses.

Thanks
Guys

Yes

I would be interested in the TCI ,brake hoses ,ignition key trim plate, front foot pegs,exhaust and other stuff I am forgetting right now

[Axel]

more

right front caliper ,seat rails , center stand , mirrors , somebody already said tank I think.
This is getting to be a long (maybe expensive) wish list

[GNEPIG]

Well, does it have a title, does it turn over and how much for the whole thing?
Those bikes are kinda rare, would hate to see it get cast into the wind.

[Cobia]

That's what I wanted to hear from someone.
GNEPIG, I sent you a PM.

After checking the funds, much debate over whether or not I had room for one more project and some kicking/ screaming/ crying/ rolling around on the floor, I have to conclude that I cannot have this one.
I have to decline this time, it's too close to Christmas. (I hate Christmas! )

I would still like to see this go as one peice tho, but people need parts too.

I need the speedo/tac cover, mine has a cracked lens in it. The two swing arm chrome caps, if not rusty. the motor guard if not rusty, mine is. Tank badges if gold is in excellent condition, am I picky, gas cap if you have the key.
