'Cause I CAN.
The other bike is a Yam XJ 750 I built for my son. Fun cruising on customs.

Did you leave the pasenger pegs on for doing stunts and shit?

Yes but it looks like the back of that seat rests up against that fender that's mounted to your swing arm, that now is going to move since you took the strut out. Are you just going to have it slapping the back of your seat every time you hit a bump?

its bolted to the fender just like stock rides fine

Huh, we'll unless I'm missing something, the 650 must have a magical swim arm then if it can somehow absorb bumps without moving.

I dig what you're saying fatkat - - -mine is kinda the same way. And yes, the fender does indeed hit my ass sometimes

YEA ITS FUCKIN MAGICAL AND YES THE FENDER MOVES WITH THE SWINGARM BUT NOT MUCH I J-SLAMED IT AND THERES NOT MUCH TRAVEL THE SEAT IS ONLY BOLTED TO THE FENDER SO IT MOVES FREELY WITH IT AND SLIDES IN THE FRONT ... NO PROBLEMS WITH IT AT ALL ... DAMN U GUYS ARE TO WORRIED ABOUT THAT SEAT

Not sure what a "J-slam" is but that's all you had to say when Greedyg asked. Instead you leave vague and super douchy responses like "It works like a stock seat" when it clearly doesn't.

have you read any of this thread ?? if you dont know what a j or julio slam is than just call it the vague douche slam .. get over it man im not a jerk thought i answered the question pretty well it is a cut down stock seat and mounts to the fender as a stock seat would and yes im aware that the stock fender does not move but mine does.. long story short yes the seat rides with the swing arm and it works well.. come on dont take this shit so serious my bike is a pile of shit lol

Tuesday - the J slam is just relocating the front shock mount to lower the ass end. As far as working like a stock seat, I dont know about you but my stock seat had a tab on the front and did not just slide back and forth with the movement of the swing arm. Good luck with that FatKat -
But at least we have a new standard -
the "VAGUE AND SUPER DOUCHY SEAT MOD"

I'll whore mine out again:

Was the strut just pipe with bushing bungs welded on each end? Do you have pics of the strut? I'm leaning towards strutting my bike after i replace the final drive that way i dont have to mess with stripping the pinion gear teeth off again. Anyone else strutted their V?
