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
@@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.
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, 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
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
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.
Good job bro.
Hey I also have a few questions if you by chance could answer them. Im trying to do the same with an XJ750. Appreciate the help if possible.

Hey nice bike there, i have a xj 700 and would like to paint it as yours it looks awsome. What colour is it and what kind of mat lacker is it
Hi ;) I showed paint company picture from pinterest and I they made color but I didnt save color code :/ acrylic mat lacker
What size springs did you get
Nice work, whats the paint on the tank and where did you get that cool looking seat ?
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
Where did you get the gauge cluster
Is that the stock front fender that you cut down and reshaped or is it an aftermarket fender?
Bike looks great! Nice job
Stock fender, just cutted it ;)
@@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.
I have the same bike and I'm wondering where did you get the seat??
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
Have the exact same bike. Wondering what air filters you used to replace the air box?
I installed turbo on it so it's a bit complicated to write down ;)

hi, thanks ;) I left original in front, but I rebuilded them and installed new ventilated discs
@@meskutunas cheers for the info mate!
Where did you get that black box underneath the seat?:)
Welded it ;)
great job! I want to buy the 1985 xj750 model to start my proyect, would you recommend it?

Are these yics motors hard to balance and tune or is it just me?
What tuning do you mean?
What year is that
motorcycle built in 1983. Assembly process in 2016
These bikes are already rare without chopping it and ruining it... Plenty of more common bike you could butcher for this

I'm thinking about bobbing a xj650t
rob136916 Its easy to build something from this bike ;) good luck!
