There will Be a mudguard that takes up the entire width of the frame and a fender over the top of the tire. Would that change things?
Really stupid question. Does the cdi on my bike need to be encased? Or can I just mount it with the connectors down[ATTACH]

I am still working on my 82 xj550 chopper. I am wondering if anyone knows where to get the rubber relay mounts. Mine have gotten lost.
okay i have located the problem. when I turn the key I am getting no power to the brown wire that feeds the other three fuses. Do i need to be...
xj55h. I have tried everything. And I do mean everything. My first mod was to make a new fuse block. I have been all over the bike with my...
Well I have checked over everything about ten times now, and can't find anything wrong with my maxim. Would anyone be willing to check my tci for...
Then I bought a set of coils that I really didn't need. And probably am going to need another tci
What do you mean HT leads? I have checked it by both methods, by measuring ohmic value from the pigtail to wire and from wire to wire. Which way...
I am having trouble getting my xj550 to take fire. I have replaced the cdi box because the one that I had developed a crack in it (by way of me...
ok thanks a bunch
I bought a set of ignition coils off of fleabay when I finally got around to checking them out I noticed that they are both 2/3 not 1/4. Will I be...
Thanks.
I just found out that my cdi is bad on my 550 maxim. Anyone have any idea where I can find one?
Gauges??. Need me to pm you?
Lol. Yeah but I was referring to the connectors.
What about your gauges? I want something a little different for my 1982 xj550 maxim chopper build
thanks a bunch guys it was just in gear. I had put some oil on top of the cylinders and when I put it in neutral and tried to roll it over it was...
I was wondering if maybe I could use a harness from something other than a 550 0n my 550. Any help or advise on this subject would be most...
I don't think so. I honestly didn't think to check
I ve been working on a frame build for my 1982 xj 550. Three years worth of it. I was going to try to start it today so I took out my spark...
Close to mobile here.
I have actually bought the 1157 sockets and soldered a ground wire to them. I am trying to eliminate the "fish finder" looking brake light and...
Next question. Will xs650/tx750 lenses fit our bikes?
kewl thanks.
Perhaps this has been covered and I just missed it but I am currently converting my 550 maxim to a bobber but also want the turn signals to...
I personally think that ALL bikes should at least have the capability of being converted. But that is just me.
what type of handlebars do you have on it?
nice xs
Not really. When you don't, it kinda messes up the steering geometry, but it doesn't render the bike unrideable or anything.
Front end or rear end? The easiest way to lower the front end of your bike is to simply loosen the triple tree clamps and let the fork tubes...
Personally I would advise you to find someone who is parting out a bike with a 7 in round headlamp and see about buying the whole assembly, or buy...
I am curious if anyone else here has ever thought about(or done) removing the tool box from the back of their 550 maxim and putting a...
I am using the four inline fuses, but in a custom made rack. Made by yours truly. :P
Personally, I love the smooth ride of my xj550 ,but my next bike will only have two cylinders and ONE CARB. That is my only gripe with inline 4's.
Hell yeah. Now that is what I am talking about.
I like having a muffler on each side. So a 4-1 just isn't my style. I suppose I will just wait until I get another fab shop job and do it myself.
I am on a Maxim 550
Your bike may or may not have running lights. My 550 maxim only has turn signals.
I didn't know that there were non-yics maxims
I hate to hijack your thread, but I am curious if anyone knows if(or where) I can find a "true" two into one exhaust system? By true, i mean...
what are you working on?
i just ordered two valve shims, valve cover gasket, and pressure washers. he got them to me in two days. Len... You Rock, Dude!!!!!!!
That 920 just looks sick as hell. Lovin it.
What type of handlebars do you have?
Looking for 'pullback' handlebars. The kind that came stock on the 650's and 750's
Yikes. Could have at least dipped them in carb cleaner or something
It is getting gas, and have just changed the spark plugs. I know that I have spark from the coil but haven't checked spark from the plugs yet.
My bike has 22xxx ish miles on my 550 maxim. I have noticed that sometimes my #4 cylinder stops working. :oops: I haven't checked my valve...
Dude, You rock. I got to install my parts just two days after I ordered them. You are "DA MAN"!!!!!!!!
