    Basket case XJ in Oklahoma

    Near Pauls Valley. Owner says they want $300, wife says if I buy one more bike.....



    Offered them $100 anyway, but anyone else interested, let me know. Haven't seen them, but they have the seat and tank stored inside.









    Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

    You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

      Nope, not seized. Just sit-itis. He couldn't get it to start, thought maybe electrical. Looking at the headlight bucket and the butchered fuse panel job, that's possible, but more than likely carb issues I'd think.

          More likely secondary ignition issue, but the carbs definitely need goin thru anyways. Don't see no 'basket', so it could'nt be to awfully bad.......just the normal drum-roll, as with ANY older bike no matter the make.

            case

            Should be worth more than 300. Pipes look original and good.
