my xj build

[gixxer]

hey guys thought it was about time i posted a pic of my current build ,, well here it is so far ,, its a 89 xj600 pre diversion ,, swing arm is a fj1200 one i cut down as the xj has a pivot width of 8 1/2 inch and the fj is 10 1/2 ,, so fair bit of difference so out came the grinder haha ,, mmmmmm my favorite toy ,,
the front end is going , dont like it so changing that for a zzr 600 front end with 41mm forks , and the back wheel for a 4.5j zzr600 one , the tank is a katana tank whilst the seat unit is a flat tracker type witch is yet still to be modified into a cafe unit ,, so will kinda be a cafe tracker bike ,, still along way to go been concentrating o n wrightys build ,, but hopefully gunna get a new grinder as mine is fecked so i can get on and get my subframe built so can get my frame welded up ,, so if anyones got a grinder going spare or even for beer tokens that would be good ,,
paint scheme at the minute is set to be candy apple red , obviously black frame etc

Good to see another XJ on the forum........Did you know Kevin Shwantz got his big break while racing one of these.

I do like the tracker seat unit goes well with your tank.
