    So here is what I have been working on most of the winter. Found this bike in a barn under a pile of bird crap bought it for 100 bucks. It was bone stock and had not been ran in a couple of years got it running and played around with it last summer and started the transformation last fall. It is a 82 Maxim 750.

    Looking good, brother.
    But you need to slap on a forward controls set.

    It will have mid or forward controls when I'm done. But I know what skillet is talking about I'm 6'1 and grew up on dirt bikes and I still like my feet under my butt better control that way I think. This bike is just for fun and ripping around town my wife call's it my midlife crisis but I don't know if you can have one at 38 or not.

    Good attempt at bobbing for sure!
    Yes, forward controls are way more comfortable than eating your knees when sitting so low. Looks better than a monkey f--kin' a football too!!
