    Hello All. I am parting out my 1981 XJ550 Maxim. I am listing the parts here and on Ebay. Bike is mostly whole right now as I start the dis assembly process. I have a few parts up for sale on Ebay right now. Bike has a 34,000 miles on it and the engine top end has been freshened up. Valve Clearances are all within spec and has all now top end and valve guide gaskets and seals. Carbs have been rebuilt and all screws and slides move freely. Especially the air/fuel mixture screw. Which as we all know can be a real pain.

    Let me know what parts you need and I will get you a picture and a price.

    I really do not want to sell my bike. But things happen and decisions must be made.

    The tank recently has gasoline spill in it and will need to be touched up.

    The pipes have also been painted flat black. (Not the
    best paint job but looks good to me)

Also interested in the dash gages and the headlight bucket if still available. Your headers look good to how much?Make me a bundle price for all.
    Thanks

Currently painted flat black that is in good condition. $120 shipped for the whole exhaust system. Gauges and headlight and bucket are already sold. Sorry. Let me know. It will be $170 for the parts shipped.

    I would guess it does because they look similar. But you should ask someone on this forum. They really are geniuses when it comes to these bike.

    Just curious, will the 550 back rest and rack bolt into an 82 XJ750? It's something I have been looking for, but I am not sure I am ready to purchase.
