    What size Maxim is yours? I have a Seca tank that is a direct swap for a 650/750 Maxim if you need one. >PD<

    Okay this is news to me -- what Seca tank is a direct swap on a Maxim??
    All the Seca tanks have differently shaped tails that blend into the bodywork that just wouldn't work with the Maxim's -- is there a special one that doesn't?

    i have been experimenting with different tanks.i have found that
    a kz550 tank fits very nicely with a 1/8 inch adjustment in the tunnel
    (just take a piece of 2x4 and give 2 light wacks on the right side of the tunnel)
    the tank is way more narrow than a maxim tank.but also holds less fuel.

    every other tank excluding other xj models involve too much modification
    either in the backbone or redesigning the tunnel.

    Kinda - looks more like a Seca tank will work on a Maxim as long as you modify the seat to fit.
