For Sale 1983 XJ 750 parts available

Hello all,
I recently bought a parts bike, 1983 XJ 750 to swap the forks to my xj650 so I can have dual discs up front.

Everything else is for sale on the bike. It is a running/driving bike so let me know what you need, all prices will be reasonable.

Thanks

 

Pics??

 

I'll post when I get home tonight

 

Is this a 750 j or m ? Maxim / seca ?

 

It is a Maxim. Not sure about the J or M part. What is the difference?

 

J-1982
M - 750 Midnight Maxim

 

Would enjoy seeing the trials and tribulations of the dual brake conversion.

 

It's a direct swap from 650 maxim front to 750 maxim front. Swap the whole triple tree and everything for the suspension and brakes

 

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I’ll take some pics and post a write up on it. Luckily the xj650 wheels are predrilled for the second rotor!
Here are some pics.
Let me know what you need.

 

Correct, cuz they're the same thing. All you do is pop the plastics cover off. OR leave the whole assembly intact from the 750 and slide it out of the triple clamp, swap the triple over, and stuff it back in.

 

I'd like to buy the LOCKSET, if the key that's in the ignition also fits all the other locks including the seat/helmet lock, fuel cap, and wheel lock chain. Thanks!

 

Yes, that would work if it were an xj750K model but since your reply there are photos posted and it's sure looks like a J, which I believe was only sold as a 1982 model in the USA. And working from a J creates a problem, the triple tree is different and will not mount his 650 (round) headlight stay, nor the (round) gauges, nor his 650 handlebars. So, given all that, would it be best to mate the 750 lowers to the existing 650 tubes? The xj750K basically has an xj650 front end except for the dual disc brakes and brake lines and lower forks (with mounts for dual disc system). Buckhorn handlebars are another difference, which I believe requires a longer brake line from handlebar to "T" joint. And he will need a dual bango bolt at the "T" joint...and for that matter replace the two existing xj750J lines with (longer) xj750K lines to stretch from the "T" joint on the xj650. Basically, mimic the xj750K brake system design. BTW, I have some experience with this from recently restoring my 1983 xj750K (Canada model), which was missing among other things the entire front brake system except for the rotors (see photo below). Also, those handle bars shown in my top 2 photos are obviously not stock so I replaced them with xj650 Maxim bars...hope to find xj750K bars or xj550 Maxim bars, which are similar to stock xj750K.




XTMAG, I happen to have a spare (new) double bango bolt for the "T" joint, if you need one.

 

no mufflers then?

 

PM Sent!!

Thank you for the offer! once I dig in, I will be happy to have it!

No mufflers came with the bike.

 

I am looking to purchase a TCI ignition box, Type TID14-06 5G2-10, for a 750 Maxim.

 

Hey, I'm just down the road from you......

PM sent, let me know if don't get what you need from Dave.

 

Ok, so after some digging, it is not a 1983, it's a 1982. I'll update the heading fo this post. Parts still available!

 

Ok, wait, I can't update the posting title. But anyway, let me know what you need!

 

We swapped things around--- his TCI was not cooperating with my bike, so he went home with a working one. His bike still did not cooperate, and it appears that one of the pickups may be the issue, so I'm going to try and pull pickups this weekend.

I'm hoping he posts his readings here so we can get the electrical gurus working on this too....

 

Hi, this is my very first post on this forum. I just bought an 82 750 Maxim that is missing the carburetors and need a set of carburetors complete. If you have them for sale let me know, price and condition. One more thing, the side covers, ditto, price and condition via email is cool. Thanks for a reply.

are carbs & instrument cluster available

 

I have an instrument cluster.

Swapped out the pickups and it solved the problem--- his TCI was fine, too... he rode down earlier today to drop the test TCI off, and I balanced the carbs while he was here, too.... along with replacing a pair of broken reflectors, and a missing Ignition switch/handlebar cover

 

Instrument cluster available!
I’ll send you a PM.

 

Hi All,
One of the members approached me about the ignition coils. I tested them and one was good and within spec. The other one has no resistance on the wires but it does on the plug boots and harness. Any ideas? $20 plus shipping if anyone wants them.

 

Hey, I'm interested in the gas tank if you still have it

 

Already sold!

 

I might be interested in the instrument cluster if it will fit my 82 Seca 750RJ

 

That is a good question.
I have found the following threads that should help you out.

I'll post some pics for you tonight when I get home.

 

OK, I will be looking for the pics....

 

83 750 maxim has the standard round cluster no the atari style

 

Mine is an 1982 xj750. Realized to late to change the thread title.

Here are some pics:

 

Pics look good. What are you asking for it and what will it cost for shipping to 32926? Please email me at bill.stigall@sbcglobal.net ....
