Does anyone know of an after market dealer for 1981 XJ650 parts? Please let me know ASAP. A canadian dealer would be better but I'm not picky.

Carbs parts etc.

I wear my leather all the time, that's just who I am. I also ride every day, I don't need a place to ride to, I just ride. When I'm not riding I work on the bike. I spend more time with the bike than with the wife.

Good I feel better now that $675.00 is a fair price. I do my own work on the bike most times but the carbs I don't touch. We only have one dealership in this town and they said they can do the work.

All I could find was 600 grit, so I got one sheet. I sanded a small part of the fender then applied rubbing compound, this worked ok, but not the way I wanted. I put some wax on it, and that brought it to an ok shine.

I'm glad I asked the question or would have done it wrong.
Thanks again.

Thanks Joe
What kind of polish should I use or do I just use a buffing pad with nothing on it?

I painted some of my bike parts, fenders and such. 2 coats of black and 5 coats of clear coat.
How do I wet sand? What are the steps I take. And do I have to put on another coat of clearcoat after wetsanding?
Thanks for the help.
