Thanks mate! I’m building a new workshop now, nearly done. Will then start building bikes and cars again. You might be interested in my playlist on my high performance race mower and workshop build

@Mezzmoengineering I'm sure you'll do great and you'll get many top end customers! I mean, if I had the money, after seeing your work, I would literally have you fly over to the US for a custom bike, haha! If you can get seen by customers that can afford this, I'm sure you won't even be able to accept all the jobs coming to you. If I may say, if it's not done, I highly suggest you start making shorts, 1min or less, of the most impressive change, start/finish. Get inspired by watching some shorts of highly viewed short channels, maybe even a tiktok account. Like it or not, that's what work today, and a big buzz/viewer pool will increase your business greatly. Far from me to seem like a know it all, I don't, I've barely ever commented on a video, and I've been watching KZfaq almost every day for over 10 years. I really think you have the talent, expertise, and taste to make it big. You just gotta figure out how to condense so much work into 1 min videos. Advertise your business or channel, and I'm sure it'll blow off! At least I really hope it does. It's just my humble opinion. I'll check the rest of your videos with pleasure, I hope to see shorts coming soon. Ps: I see a lot of shorts about solving problems that occurs during projects(theres always something coming up). The algorithm seems to like it a lot it makes a lot of views. Not everything needs to be spectacular, problem solving is huge too!

Thanks man, much appreciated! I hope to enjoy this for a long time.

Thanks Neil

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks mate

Thanks Luiz, glad you like it

Thanks!

Nice one! Red would look great

Thanks mate. Check out my earlier "fuel restoration video" as I show just how easy and cheaply it is to clean a rusty tank, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNGpotenzNOYo6c.html

Yep, the Motogadget gear is very nice. Only thing that I'm not that impressed with is the billet grips, I think the mounting method for those isn't too good.

Thanks mate

I got some parts direct from my local Yamaha dealer and others private sales or on ebay. I found the V seals on EBay. Just search under XJ650 throttle shaft seals, www.ebay.com.au/itm/384291899302?hash=item59799507a6:g:rhQAAOSwv1RUZ4FN&frcectupt=true

Hi mate, I’ll do that at some stage. In the meantime if you look through the series you will see I provide info on most parts used.

@@Alx-alx-alx Hi, Why don’t you make it a project bike for yourself..

@@Mezzmoengineering I got a disability and now I can't drive a motorcycle. I sold the XG650 sidecar in 2023. And I can't pick up the one in Prague.

@@Mezzmoengineering kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr-hhally7nRmmQ.htmlsi=DwVNxvK59pOpHBBy

@@Alx-alx-alxok, sorry to hear that. I’m in Australia so a long way from you. Good luck with it

Hi Craig, took about a year. I didn't spare any expense and with all the moto gadget gear, upgraded brakes, engine etc etc I spent around $10K in parts including the bike and excluding my time. Check out the entire detailed series on my channel if your keen.

Sounds like a great project, good luck with it

Thanks mate

@@Mezzmoengineering 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi mate, the tank is from an XJ750 seca

Hi mate, I just purchased a kit from ebay..also got a jet kit from 6 Sigma online

@@Mezzmoengineering Thanks, the item I can't find is the V rings for the butterfly shaft. Cheers Richard

@@richardreed4201 Hi Richard, I found them on ebay. Had a look now but can't find them anymore. Try the XJ forums. There's a guy there called Chacal, he will have them

Hi mate, its from an XJ900

Hi Christian, I used the Motogadget M Unit blue for the wiring. Its a great unit and about as simple as it gets. Check the detail out in my earlier video, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mqyXYMKZtqnamGQ.html

Yeah, I positioned it where it was originally but agree it doesn't look right with all the other upgrades. Will either relocate or replace with something smaller

Good point. However, when you move light down - than handlebars and speedometer everything will have to go down too to keep it looking clean.

@@michaltrivium Yep, agree. From the riders view it looks great. From the side it looks a bit high and maybe big, but I do think lowering will make it look better from the side but won't look right against the speedo. The speedo is definitely in the right spot, so no moving that. Going to think about this a bit more, either it stays as is or I might look for something a bit smaller. Really not sure but the more I seem to think about it the more I will probably leave it as is...

@@Mezzmoengineering Bike is looking really great. Custom made with character. Congratulation on a project.

@@michaltrivium Thanks mate

Hi, you will most likely need a caliper from the same model as the bolt holes and offsets are different between bikes etc. Another model might fit, but I don't know which would use the same, best option is to rebuild what you have or buy a used replacement...

@@Mezzmoengineering Ah okay good to know. I don't have the caliper unfortunately as my grandpa lost it with the side covers. Used replacements go for around $60 and I imagine i'll likely have to rebuild the caliper while I'm at it so I may just ignore front brakes for now. I still need to invest in air filters, battery, rear tire, gas cap, ignition (key went with gas cap that was put on another bike that's gone now), and then just unstick back brakes.

@@RYANINBODEN1547 Sounds like a project. You should be able to buy a caliper seal kits fairly cheap and that is a fairly straight forward job....You should also check the master cylinder is also working properly.

Hi mate, I used K&N air filters

I have a 150 tyre on the rear and 120 on the front. Rear rim is 4 inches wide but needed a fair few mods to make it fit...check my earlier videos as I show this mod in detail

Hi, mostly just searched on ebay and other online sources. Also was able to get some parts directly from Yamaha

@@Mezzmoengineering awesome thank you so much. Mine busted a gasket a while back and started leaking oil out the exhaust pipes it’s a custom cage racer like your builds and I don’t do any of the work but when it happened I was man where would I even get parts for it as these bikes are rare to find over here

Hi mate, the carb's are the same but the jets, needle and most likely the emulsion tubes are different

@@Mezzmoengineering any way where I could find one for xj750? Im having a problem on mine being overflowed

@@mikolmikolo2542 If its overflowing all you need is a carby kit. They are easy to find on Ebay. It should include a new fuel seat and stem...

@@Mezzmoengineering thanks for the tip!! Awesome video guides btw!!

It’s a custom build. 4 into 2 with sports mufflers

@@Mezzmoengineering Thanks

I used an XJ900 rim

@@Mezzmoengineering tq..👍

Hi mate, if you have carby problems, I think its best remove them and clean them very thoroughly. Also, check the rubber boots for cracks. Use my carby video to see what to do. If it was running good before then it should be good. If you have made changes to the jets or engine then it might be more challenging.

@@Mezzmoengineering Lo que pasa es que el ralentí al inicio esta estable y transcurrido unos minutos se empieza a acelerar demasiado y no baja, así mismo los tubos de escape 03 y 04 son los que se calientan demasiado, mucho mas que los tubos de escape 01 y 02

@@yurisulca8633 It might be the slides sticking or an air leak somewhere. It can be frustrating but is one of those things that just needs time and patience to be sure the carbies are all good.

@@Mezzmoengineering te puedo enviar un video de como lo enciendo y como se comporta la moto, para que me puedas ayudar a dar una solución. te estaré agradecido

@@yurisulca8633 OK, send me some info

Thanks mate. Have thought about changing the light. Just need to find something suitable...

@@Mezzmoengineering Maybe a Bates style with a bottom mount, custom but cool.... ^_^

@@davy197706 I'll check it out

Nah I love the big headlight on the XJ. makes it look tough.

@@jazzamcfazza tough like a bodybuilder with big arms, big chest and small feet.... ^_^

so how much would this bike sell for?

@@Mezzmoengineering uh? Sell? I thought you made it for you to have fun... Don't know. For a price buyers would pay. Less than 20k.. otherwise one would buy a brand new MV Augusta

@@x_mau9355 not selling, too much effort went into it. Just going to enjoy it

Hi, the lamp is the original from the xj650. It’s big, I’m not certain if I leave it or change to something else

@@Mezzmoengineering I think changing to another type would be more suitable. if you still want to keep the . let's put it close. don't let it go that far. Tks

Not sure what you mean?
