This isn't going to be a full on build thread like i would usually do to a bike, more just cleaning the bike up a bit.

Apologies to those that have already seen some of these pics.

Baught a XJ 600 the other day, not a bad buy £540.
Tax has a 5 month left Testing has 1 Month left.
Needs a bit of wiring which I didn't notice till after I got it home.
The guy had cut the idiot lights and sidelights (Aux lights) out for some reason, both things which are needed for MOT Test plus the front brake light lever switch doesn't work (it's buzzing for some reason, any suggestions would be appreciated) so need to sort that for MOT Test aswell.

The paint is just rattle canned on but isn't a awful job so gonna wait till spring to get is resprayed

The headlights where the only visual thing really bothering be

Image

They where on some sort of subframe out in front of the bike and didn't turn with the forks

So just made up some temporary brackets for now.

Image

Image

Image

I know there sat high but obviously will sit lower once I get some fork mounts for them.

Didn't like the gaps in the frame that you can see the coils threw.

Image

Image

So made up some brackets and fitted some Suzuki Bandit frame infills.

Image

Got the bandit infills sprayed up and fitted and some Yamaha stickers.

Image

Image

Image

I have orderd some wingmirrors

Image

And a alarm as 1 of my bikes has been nicked at work and 2 have been kicked over at work.

Image

I have used a similar model before.

Ordered some colored bulbs for idiot lights and some wire, shrink wrap and connectors for the loom.

I have received everything to rebuild the part of the loom for headlight, idiot lights, switchgear etc that previous owner fucked up 50% of it and chopped the other 50% off.
Hopefully rewire that all tomorow one I receive the fork mounts for the headlight.

Got the screen today and started mounting it to the dominators.

Was only £11 brand new as was universal so didn't come with any mounting hardware and needed trimming to fit the lights.

Image

Trimmed to fit

Image

Image


Got the brackets fibre glassed on then bolted up to the bike.

Image

Image

I had to trim just a tiny bit more off from around the lights area then sprayed the brackets black and the screen red : )

Image

Also got the headlight brackets threw

Image

Image


Image

Still waiting for the damn wingmirrors!

My long Nexus can has become my short nexus can until i can afford a whole new system.

Image

This is just temporary until I can afford the replace the shity nexus headers aswell!

Still need to clean the end of the sleeve up, drill the holes and rivet the end cap on.
