New Person from NW Iowa

I recently thought I needed a winter project and stumbled onto a 1981 XJ750. It has 13k miles.

It's been a journey thus far. Going through bonded title process, had to get a key (from a very faded code on bottom of ignition), etc. I thought no one had "corrupted" her, but later found that to not be the case. So, working through carb issues, etc. The plan is to turn it into a "tracker" style or bobber.

My other bikes, original owner of 1983 Yamaha Vision XZ550RK. It has 12500 miles.

1993 Yamaha Venture 46k miles.

Thanks for letting me hang out. I have a lot of questions and appreciate the forum!

What a coincidence- I had a 750 Virago as well. Mine was maroon. Welcome.

Welcome! Just picked up an '82 XJ550 for my winter (and then some) project. I was in Templeton over the weekend to tour the distillery - pretty cool. DM if you're in the mood for a ride.
