    i have a 81 xj650 maxim. im looking for more of an enduro type tire setup. unfortunately they make only 1 tire for a 16 inch rear wheel. theres a couple seca rear wheels on ebay. are the seca/maxim rear wheels interchangeable? will the seca bolt up to the final drive? theres also a rear wheel off of a seca 750. will that bolt right up as well? if so i think im going to make the move. they make alot more tires for an 8 inch rim.

    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    The seca wheel will interchange with the maxim wheel. You just have to make sure to use the correct brake blate for the wheel. The 750's used a larger brake plate than the 650's

    as ghost said, yes - it will fit. people will actully swap out the seca 18" wheel to lower rpm at highway speeds.

    and your sig - "xjs are addicting....its a proven fact."

    love it.

    Think it would look good with an 120/80-18 enduro/adventure tire on the back and a 110/80-19 enduro/adventure on the front?

    If you had a few hundred $$ to throw around, you could custom lace-up any size you want onto Virago spoke hubs.
