    I'll get a pic of that seat soon but its a west eagle Thin HI Back seat from TC Bros.

    The inner fender is completely removed all thats left are the plastics from the battery box and tool crib.

    The rear shocks are 9" Burley Harley Sportster lowering springs.

    Beautiful! I like the look of those rear shocks. What brand/part number/ length are they? How much did they set you back?

    Edit:didn't see the 2nd page. I'll have to find myself some of those shocks!

    That is one of the best looking XJs I've ever seen! I want mine to look similar, I love the front tire/wheel mod, I'll have to look into that for mine. For a lowering that much in the rear, did you have to lower the front at all?

    Really like this bike. I found it the other day whilst Googling for modification ideas. Great work.

    what gauges did you use, and do you have any rear turn signals?

    Look's good. One question: Why put the smaller rim on the front? To me, I think it would look better with the rims reversed or the same size rims. Just seems a little off to me, still like it though.

    Rims are same size front and back. 16in rear is on the front to run a wider tire. Stock front on the 81 maxim is a 21 inch wheel with a narrow tire.

    The pic from the side and the pic from the rear looks like a 16 in front and a 18 on back. Guess it's one of those optical illusions. I thought all original XJ front rims were 19's and not 21's. I would love to have a 21 on the front.
