    I'm looking for an 80-82 xj650 maxim tank ( not seca ) no big dents, not rusted out,not already lined.
    It needs to have the emblem mounts intact. I can swap a complete carb set with airbox boots. I also have
    a spare maxim igniter unit and a set of coils.

    Thank you Guestdawg, I relined that tank with a caswell dragonsblood kit. I found that most 34 year old tanks need the rust cleaned up and relining anyway.
    A word of advise, though, reline the tank first, then, repaint the outside. I had a new paint job before I spotted the leaks and had to do it over after relining.
