    Pictures? Interesting if it truly is a bolt-on-kit type of swap...

    damn, if it would fit a 550 without it looking like overkill it would be soooooo tempting.

    IMO a 650 seca would be the perfect bike to do it to - like this guy did:

    DAYMN that looks good.

    I suppose a 750 seca would look sharp too, but, the 650 being lighter compared to the heavier 750.

    Actually, that is Clownman's XJ650 Maxim conversion (in XJ Modifications). The 650 frame is almost identical to the 750, the tail is chopped and he used a 750 Seca tank so I'm guessing that there would be no weight difference in using a 750 Seca or Maxim vs a 650 Maxim. But the original poster says that his forks are not the inverted version R6, unlike Clownman's (he has a separate write-up on his front end swap too). If so, it might look more like the stock XJ front end (with a different front wheel). Maybe something like this? [​IMG]
