Your welding is nothing short of majestic. Keep up the great work!!

I love how these bikes start out as unloved unwanted bikes and then become amazing machines.

Part 2 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6SBvNFmgKTTd9o.html Clients take priority. The Mad Max Virago is on the backburner until my customers are taken care of. Additionally, I'm more concerned with developing my craft and skills as a Motorcycle Builder than I am being a KZreadr. I put a ton of effort into growing the channel the past 2 years, now it's time to focus on the business side of things. Really want to get into an actual shop in '23 and really start taking on more clients, in addition to (probably) bringing on some help. -Jimmy

I live in Gilbert, AZ. Just spent the last year resurrecting A 1980 Yamaha XS1100 with little mechanical and electrical knowledge. She may not be a looker but she runs and sounds great. For some reason I have the urge to turbo it.... A little bit of BOOST never hurt anyone, right?

Love that you are taking on a old XJ650, I have a XJ900, that I hope to make into a twin turbo. looking forward to see the rest and will join you on Patreon as the first I support in this way :-)

@@adamlannerd1408 I always liked the XS1100, bit heavy but masses of low down torque. Second gear roll on 'flat track' sideways was always fun (when I was 40 years younger)

Miss my old XJ650. They’re great bikes, even bone stock.

Jimmy your doing a great build and the channel is brilliant 👏

Awesome work as always my dude! It's so relaxing watching these asmr videos haha

Great job, very inspirational 👍🏻

I like how that escape is looking, very good video 💯👊

I love your work.

Magnifique!!! Vivement la suite!!!

More pls 😊

Watch those fingers bro! Lol

Need to make your tungsten a bit shorter on the tig torch. If you do you could run slightly less gas. Other than that it looks great!

What front brake parts did you use? Looking for a replacement setup and that looks neat'o!

👍👍😎

Hello, i work on an xj900 1983 for an use on track. Have you change the connecting Rod or the piston? I want more power. Thank

@Edward Elizabeth Hitler figured it was a degreaser of some sort.

I remember the biggest issue with XJ650T was the plastic air-box splitting after about 18 months~ 2 years. It was about as bad as the Suzuki turbo, both became overweight slugs without boost. You need to tilt carburetors a bit further when setting float heights, even the slight weight of float will affect the setting and give a reading higher than it should be when carbs are fitted. Something else you should have done, after lowering forks, fit front wheel and lift it to full suspension compression to make sure it doesn't hit bottom yoke or exhaust system (or anything else) things can get real 'interesting' real quick when lowering is done badly (I used to be a motorcycle inspector, among other things) Being in Phoenix, did you go to MMI? I taught at MMI Orlando 12 years

God help us, I'll just leave a dislike and move on.
