Well have to say had a shocker today!!
Before the glittery one entered my life I had my Streetfightered one off XJ600 divvy.
Always got comments and I really loved him.
However when things got uncertain with work last year I opted to sell him as couldn't keep 4 bikes.
The divvy was a great ride.. and was a good bike.
But between the Kat and the Divvy I decided to sell the divvy to a friend.
Ive always looked after the Divvy and he was reliable .but not practical for my needs anymore.
Ducati bits are a bot ouch I thought,....
Well the new owner has had my divvy a year and its looking a bit sorry ...(I looked after it) .
Oil inlet and outlet pipes have corroded through.
Had a look and I said well shouldn't cost much to the now owner.
What a shocker... the two piddly little pipes £247!!!!!!
They really are tiny.
Have to say noted on ebay now not much comes up for XJ600 I have been told Yamaha parts seem to be the dearest of jap bikes wether thats true I don't know.
It was 100% in good order when sold especially as it was to a mate.
Think I made the right choice now!!!...
I said he's probably better off buying a cheap non runner and breaking it for bits as cheaper then the wretched pipes!!!
I advised him to ACF50 through the winter and as its kept outside...
