For Sale '83 XJ750 Maxim + parts

This bike will run with fresh gas: I have NOT run the bad gas through to the carbs. Known issues:

- Back brakes needed.
- No title (legally registered to me, Georgia doesn't do titles for old bikes)
- Tank (shown) has leak, have spare tank in parts.
- No battery box, battery is bungied to frame.

It was running great when parked 1+ years ago. I could make it run and will for +$250
Price as is: $650
Located in Atlanta, GA

Parts include decent tank, back tire on unknown rim, original seat.
Have pics, can't figure out how to attach them! It IS the bike in my profile pic.

 

You'll need two more posts before you can do pics. Please do that though, I'm curious about the rear seat and fender mods on yours.

 

So, I need 5 messages total? This is #4...

 

This one is a test...
...yeah that failed too...

 

So this one should work?

 

Okay. The rear seat and fender were done by the P.O. but he did a good job there, no problems. The only thing weird about it is he took the loop at the gas tank and welded it atop of the piece that bolts down to match it up with the tab on the seat. It works, doesn't look bad, and didn't screw up everything preventing someone from restoring to original if they wanted.






I THINK the fender came from a Suzuki something or another??

 

Yeah, I think the seats and Fender are from a GZ250.

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't interested in bike (have enough now) but always like to see some seat and fender mods.

 

This may be it, though I was thinking it was a larger Suzuki. Whatever it was, the wheel that the spare rear I have with it is from that same bike and in good condition. Also: I have the original airbox and hardware. I put the cheap Chinese pods on there mainly to make it easier to crank in cold weather using a few drops of gas (never ether) since I am a year-round rider.

 

Update: Bike is now running after flushing old gas out of system. "New" tank found to be trash (rusted out), so I patched hole in old tank with JB Weld. Hole in old tank was puncture, like a rock or something, not rust.
Can still be yours for the low low price of $650!

 

Alas, this fine ride is now somebody else's project and you have officially missed out!
