    I got the 82 650 Maxim on the road today. I got the new tires on yesterday and I freshened up the oil after work today. With a little adjustment on the rear drum it was good to go!

    It really ran great...smooth power throughout the range. I only did about 9 miles under the radar on back roads since the seat isn't really fastened on yet 8O and the bike hasn't been registered since 1990.... :wink:

    Sure is alot different form the shovelhead! (in a fun way...)

    Onya Dutch , good to see a positive story [as in enjoyment] , i do not know how the 650's go but the shovels/sportsters never ever felt the same at 5500 , i was always waiting....:)

    Who did the welding on your project? Looks cool and maybe you'll eat a few harleys with it{they owe me 50cc's}

    Webheadjames started that project back on the old forum. Dutch has graciously offered to finish the project :)

    Now, that's sacrifice for the greater good, right there :wink:
    Maybe we can talk him out of it,
