    I Purchased this 82 Maxim 650 in March and have been doing a little here and there with a friend. Rear fender and tail light plate frame combo coming soon. Bar end mirrors are on their way. I wanted to post sooner but could not find a good photo converter. Here are a few.

    Looks good and you kept the air box, which is good! what kind of exhaust mods did you do?

    I just cut them back. I kept the H pipe underneath though. It's loud and i may need baffles to pass inspection. Haha. I have some videos up on you tube under the name benny bobber if you want to hear it. I didn't have to re jet or anything as of now. I don't think the pods are worth the trouble,and decided to keep the air box for now. Thanks for the Words.

    Thanks. I was going to go with drag bars but liked this style more. The m.c. was not an issue and the clutch and brakes have been working perfectly.Once i get the new grips and bar end mirrors on it should look about right.

    Those bars are sick. I've been considering those but they are a little tall for the look im going for. 3" instead of 5 would be perfectt but no one seems to make them, with that curved design.. Any ideas?

    These bikes need a fork brace and you need something to keep yourself from slipping off the rear of the seat onto the tire while moving unless you don't need anymore kids.:rolleyes:
    Looks good though.
