    I am very interested in finding either a gunfighter type seat that fits an 82 maxim or a simple mod to make one work. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated!

    I currently am running a magna rear fender and seat... Harley's use a seat very similar to mine as well. You can find them all over Ebay. I can't stand the GIANT stock seat on the Maxims.. YUCK!

    I have a 07 Sportster solo seat on my xj. I just welded apiece of 1/4x1 " flatbar between the frames and drilled a hole in it for a carridge bolt to work as a retainer.

    I found the harley sportster seat an easy mod. But I also used a harley rear fender and cut the frame

    I might be interested. Will it fit an 81 Maxim 650? Looked at mine the other day and the whole front of it was melted so bad I couldn't use any of it. :( I didn't think they'd made it out of plastic. Oh well, live and learn. Anyway, if it'll fit do you have any pics of it.
