Snowed in... Fun with Photoshop! Idea for my Maxim project

Bummer man, really wish I could have seen a finished product. Looked like she could have been a sweet bike

What did you do with the seat and fender, did it go with the bike?

the stock seat and fender went with the bike... the project seat and cowl was never completed.

 

I like the look, but if you want the forks to get that low, be prepared for

1.) the mudguard will hit the bike on a hard bump. running bigger springs in there and heavier fluid might help.

2.) you need to use clip-ons, or use stock maxim risers with clubmans to clear the fork tubes to allow it to slide down.

 

The rear end of your photoshop kind of reminds me of the new nortons, Witch I love.

k.joel.porter ... sorry to read that you abandon the Photoshop cafe project and sold the bike. You had captured the perfect "look" that I was searching for and I was hoping to see the completed ride and your build photos.

I plan to continue your "look" and ideas on a 1982 Yamaha XS 1100 Maxim that I recently picked up off of CraigsList. "IF", this very neglected old bike checks out mechanically, I will attempt building a new seat pan and bum per your photoshop designs.

In the near future will begin posting project photos on my FaceBook page at "grandaddy-Os"

THANKS!

I'd either open up the radius on the rear cowl, or cut it short before it starts to descend.

 

I know this is an old thread but this was by far the best maxim made cafe rendering i've seen. With my new to me maxim 650 i hope to follow in his steps.
