750 Maxim Project

I thought I would share my project pictures, it is finally a roller. I bought the kit that was posted up around here from the virago site to put a rear wheel on front. Recently re wired completely, re jetted, and new tapered neck bearings from chacal, those babies are so nice, no more center detent! Thanks for a great site, much of my work would have been difficult if not for all of the collected knowledge.

 

Everything's looking GOOD! How do you like the sound of your pipes? Like the seat, what did you make the pan out of? Can't see because of the angle, is the front of the seat same width as rear of tank or what? Keep the pics coming...

Thanks, the pan is 18 ga. steel with a lip bent down on each side I used a stretcher on to give it the curve. Its as wide up front as the tank and narrows up at the end. Ill get pics up later today prob. The pipes sound good screams like a banshee, but idles quiet, you can see the 3 weld spots on the pipes thats where the baffle is.

 

Sweet, tel;l me more about the fro/rear wheel kit, i have a spare set of rims, what else do i need

 

Bad ass looking !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's a couple more, the wiring, still needs to be taped up, and another angle of the seat

 

Thanks FAB

 

Like I said, looking good! Even with the baffle, it's still LOUD hunh? How's she running?

Lookin good StreetB. By the way how did the front look with the big tire and stock fender on? Sit too high or was it about the same?

 

I always like the fat front tire/wheel look without the fender on. I'm thinking of going with a fatter front tire on mine when I change it and take the fender off. Just makes it look meaner I think.

 

Someone help me with how to get a fat rear tire on the front. Looks like this still has the hub from the rear on one side. Is there a write up on how to convert one into a front?? I think it looks bad a*s too! Thanks!

 

It's a virago rear wheel with some machining done to it. A guy had a post on it in a virago forum but I haven't been able to find it again. I think he was doing peoples wheel for around 125.00 which included the hubcover. I even looked on ebay to see if he was selling kits but no luck.

 

Skillet, its running pretty good I think it is rich at idle, but I have yet to sync the carbs and mess with the mixtures. Ya it is still plenty loud with my baffles, I tried not to make it super quiet.

Seaguy, I tried the front fender but no way will it even go over the tire, I kinda think a small fender would look good on it, but I am not gonna mess with that now, gotta get er going good. Also it is actually a maxim rear wheel, BUT if I did it again I would have gotten a virago bucause the brake area is larger on the maxim wheel.

Kcoop, I got the kit, bearings, instructions and everything from a guy over in Mich. his name is Matt his e-mail is racer6692 @ yahoo.com he was only making a limited number of kits, but with interest he said he would put together more.

This should get you to the virago site

 

I am jealous of the side covers. Looks awesome for sure.

 

Heres an update. New PVC intake to replace the pods, need to tune it yet.

 

Dude you're crazy. I like you!

 

Did you consider a 1 into 2 intake?
Balanced look + might be easer to tune.

No I didn't, I only had one air filter. I like the way it looks, and as far as tuning I had re-jetted and started fiddling to get it right for pods, then decided to make this intake, originally planned for my stocker to delete the airbox, but decided against. It runs rich and loads up until you open the throttle. I am 3 turns out on the pilots all the way across, with stock pilot jets, I ran out of time before I could turn the screws down. What is everyone's opinions on the richness, will I be able to tune it leaner with screws?

Thanks hucker! You don't have to be crazy, but it helps.

 

I love custom airbox's!!! way more "origional" and maybe easier than pods... You're going to paint that pvc, righte?
