These parts are SOLD.
[ATTACH] One OE exhaust gasket for collector to muffler junction on 83 750 Maxim and others. $8;. Was $18. Four exhaust gaskets for header...
Glad you like it Aaron.
James, the rack is headed your way via FedEx. Expected arrival is 3/30.
This rack is SOLD.
They may not be there at all on the 550. I only know the 650 and 750. I would figure you could adapt something off the shock mount or use a u-bolt...
The mounting points on the rack are 10" apart. But it isn't meant to use the shock mounts. If you pop your seat off, you should see mounting...
Hi Aaron, online estimates are UPS $57.56 and USPS $44.71. I'm about as far from you as possible in the lower 48. It seems to often happen that...
Shameless bump. Price reduced $135 + shipping.
Yeah, the weather hasn't exactly been conducive to riding, lotta black ice by my place for many nights. I can't find your number and your inbox...
For Sale: a rear rack for Maxims. This rack came to me on an 82 650 Maxim. It bolts right up nice and level to the appropriate factory mounts....

I have been happy using Foamy Engine Brite to clean up three engines last three winters. Takes two or three rounds and some elbow grease, though...
I have a National Cycle Streetshield EX on and off of my Maxim with lower, straighter bars. I like it. It provides ample coverage without being...
Thanks Brad but I'm good on the light. Funny timing for this to get resurrected. I got the notice on my last day of a 30 day, 8116 mile trip on...
I too am assuming you mean running lights, as in just having all four turns on solid while the bike is running. There are kits out there that...
When I did mine, I used a small plastic syringe (10 ml ?) to suck up a little black paint and deliver it into the depressions of the letters and...
On my previous XJ, at purchase, the front oscillated horribly. I replaced the old, very badly cupped front tire and it was 90% solved, but still...
MUST have a service manual: [IMG]
Crackin' me up K-moe
HE SHOOTS!! HE SCORES!!!! Love it when that works out. I put our car on CL last week, got a call in 30 minutes, test drive in 60, sale in 90 to...
Had to run to a friends house a little ways out and it was a beautiful day. Maxim out of the basement, tires aired up, lights and fluid check,...
Polock gave me this tidbit a while back and it helped diagnose my roughly related situation: "unplugging the safety relay on that bike isn't all...
A lot of tools can be improvised. [ATTACH]
YamaMax, I don't want to hijack your thread but I figure if I respond to a couple things here, it might help with where you're headed, too....
I have had good luck using Foamy Engine Brite on three engines now. Plug EVERY hole where you don't want water. I used a variety of brushes and...
And it's on 4" casters, too.
I'm still holding out for the 8". It'll just look right. I will find one. Hella makes a nice looking 8" driving light for $110. Could use...
Is that about the pix? A nearby road failed to negotiate my friend Jay at a little shy of 100mph. There were, shall we say, extenuating...
$42. Not exactly a motorcycle light, but not out of the question....
Yeah, I have stumbled right into pretty good deals for all the parts for this build. But the headlight and a new lens/cover for the gauges have...
Always worth tossin' a line. Never know what you'll catch. Actually, I would like any cheap, side-mount, round, 8" headlight. Seca is just one...
Just that. Looking for the big 8" light for a project bike. Dented or rusty is OK. Cheap is best.
http://www.ronayers.com/ But I looked and it comes up a little short on our older XJs. They have been really useful to me on my 98 DR350 and my...
I think Ron Ayers is set up so once you have a part number, you can see every bike it fits, IIRC.
I cant help with those parts questions, but you can go to any internet seller of parts, like Len here, and look up part numbers for each year of...
Ditto what K-moe said: "You will keep getting raw fuel in your crankcase until you remedy the problem with your carb(s) float valve(s) not...
The stock petcock lever has 3 positions. ON, RESERVE and PRIME. ON and RES are vacuum feed and draw from that whitish stack that sticks up into...
I am not talking about the stack on the petcock in your hand. I think it looks like there is an inline fuel filter on the hose exiting the photo...
One more thought. You re-jetted. Did you put the floats back in upside down? Or do something else a little off that has the needles not...
If it's the crankcase breather, then your engine is full of fuel. You should absolutely not start your engine. Pull the oil filler cap and give...
Frenchtracker: I am not clear on exactly which "breather" you mean. The tube that is spewing fuel, where exactly does it originate? The tube...
I was in the same situation. Long past time for a rebuild anyway, plus it looked really rough, so it was easy to justify getting a whole new...
Thanks gentlemen. Yup, big bucket of elbow grease and a LOT of winter evenings drinking beer in the basement. Jayrodoh, I should have also...
I did the same swap on my Maxim 750. At least I "think" they are those same bars, certainly similar dimensions. I did not replace any cables or...
Sorry I can't help you with the nut size just now but [ATTACH] RE: pulling the motor. If it's that stripped down, don't pull the motor out of the...
I would not expect the side-stand tilt to be enough. I bet you get a geyser.
To your goal of slimming up the controls, here is what I did to get rid of the choke. I left the rest stock but am happy to get rid of one piece...
Just guessing but maybe someone didn't realize that the bolt has to pulled out, not just loosened, and went apeshit trying to wrestle it off....
