Anyone know if a 1979 Suzuki has any interchangeable parts

    with an 82 Maxim? Tho looking at the picture I would almost say it looks like a Maxim. The seat and general layout just resemble one, tho it's not a very good picture.

    Unless the parts are interchangeable I have no desire to buy it, but if anyone else is interested, feel free to contact the seller.

    Not an informed question…Parts don't swap across brands. (Duh?).
    But the Suzuki GS bikes are fabulous, and classy. I own 2.

    I was meaning things like seats, handlebars, etc. The more generic parts.

    Thanks for the info tho.

    Seat isn't generic; handlebars probably are but you can buy brand new tubular handlebars for under $30.

    Speedo might swap if it fits.

    Not much else really, maybe the headlight bucket or turn signals.
