Hello All,
My first post here within the first week of owning my first bike.
I purchased an 82 XJ550 with some slight modifications (although done very poorly) last week. Have aspirations of turning it into something special.
Here it is as i bought it. I wasnt a fan of the tank/seat combo what so ever. So ive started to search around for something a bit more to my liking.
Possible new tank of a Z650 81 model. I much prefer this shape. and luckily enough it fits quite nicely. Still needs some modification to get it sitting right.
Plans are to do a custom pan for a "brat style" seat. PO had layed it over a few times, so a new exhaust is needed. I'll most likely black out the wheels and anything else i can get my hands on at the powdercoaters (less than 2 minutes walk away from out factory) Engine was running well, I have some new filters coming as well as rubbers for the carb.
I want to to a flat bar, tracker style, and of course change out the gauges.
Constructive critism more than welcome!
