    Hi Guys, Hope all is well! I decided to sell a Modern Yamaha R6 front end machined to fit a 1982 XJ750 Maxim frame. I had the original steering shaft from the Maxim pressed into a machined R6 lower triple tree and machined upper R6 tree to fit. It may fit XJ650 frame, but I'm not 100% sure. It also has a brand new all balls tapered bearing kit included. It cost over $1,500 with parts. I'm selling it today for $600 +shipping. Note: you'll have to modify your steering stops as the handlebars (not included) will hit the tank. a really nice setup for a cafe or custom look!

    That thing is absolutely insane!

    Can you keep it cool running 200hp on an air-cooled engine?

    Keeping it cool was a challenge! I had to find the largest oil cooler I could fit in front of the rear tire and add a custom shroud with fan. It was monitored by an oil temperature sensor and controlled by the ECU. Without this large oil cooler and fan running all the time, it would overheat. There is not enough air flow while riding to shut the fan off. But, the cooling issues are solved at this point and runs fine.
