Arne Reiersen's xj600 51J
Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2014 7:50 am
Hello, i bought my 51j in late May this year, she was sendt to a chopper, who sold it to me as a project. I gave around 11500 nkr for her ( thats about $ 2000)
At first the plas was to get her back to the original state, but after i stumbeled over this site, and saw the 'naked convention' gudie, i got inspired to go for something like that.
So i got started, i god my hands on a headlamp with LED blinkers, and a fazer tail light also with LED Blinkers
But my work got stopped when a friend called and told me to have her ready for a trip to Denmark.
So i assembeled the parts i had in a bit of hurry, and well... This is how she looks now..
But in this winter im going to buy new speedo and tacho, repaint her and try to rebuild her ass into something more 90's xj600 inspiered..
By the way, digital dirtbike speedo is a no-go
I'm open for new ideas, and would love if anyone had coments about what im trying to do, maybe give me new ideas.
P.s is there a thread about customizing the footpegs into some nicer ones, i dont like the originals on the mid 80's xj..
