a friend of mine had one here (Oz) in the 80s when they weren't that old, it did what it said on the box, pretty much non distinguished UJM but well capable within its limits (skinny tyres, shit brakes, basic suspension) but he was happy enough with it, he sold it as soon as he saw the rust coming through on the bottom rear edges of the tank cos every tank the wreckers had was suffering the same problem. replaced it with a later UJM (GSF750EFE) that I got to ride a bit while he was sick and that was a whole world of different compared to the XJ (blisteringly fast to me at the time and handled like nothing i'd ridden before)
the best thing I remember about the XJ was the headlight, for some reason way better than other plain round ones at the time , I ended up using one on my 750 Honda for years

I have not started it yet but for $300, extra set of carbs and some other parts and it turns over, I could not refuse. Back in the day these were liked by the magazine testers.

Closeout where? I would like a set of those boots if they have size 12's in stock and I can get my foot in them.
Iron pony. They are about 40 min from me. They have 12's at the moment. I tried them on yesterday. If Canadian shipping is going to kill you, let me know and I can ship them to your guy state side.Maritime said:

you can kinda see in this video at around 5:10. I can take a pic when I get home, but they come down farily far when opening up. They split under the bottom buckle and they are far easier to slide on than my ankle height lace up redwings that's for sure. These are my first real riding boot, so I don't have a good comparison. Also, these are still selling for around $300 USD everywhere else ive seen them

Maritime said:Well, I pulled the trigger on the boots! Hope they fit. I'm thinking the soles should be able to be modified for the rocker I need to walk right in them as well
I didn't get the flatslide though,
if not it looks like you could still sell them brand new on ebay for what you paid for them or maybe a touch more anyways

Yep my thoughts exactly, It came to 150 CAD on my Visa so I bet if I can't make them work I can sell them for at least that local, I hope i can get them on because the soles look a lot like the ones on my shoes and they should be modable. I am currently wearing my leather hiking boots that aren't modded and I walk like a dork when I get off the bike LOL.
I was wondering the same thing. They have a size 10, which is a half size too big.
