going to look at a XJ750 Maxim

Here are some pictures when it was with the previous owner









It looks better in these pictures than it actually is...

 

Have the previous owner ever noticed that two engine mount bolts on left side are missing?

 

i doubt it.. lots more like that on the bike..

 

jeepers. better go over it with a fine comb!! who just unbolts their engine and just leaves it?!

 

I have a hookup for a seatcover, ill post his info next time im on a computer!

Welcome!

 

Thanks mate - be good to find a seat cover that will fit!

 

well I managed to turn this one around, excluding the seat - wasn't able to find one...

 

Looks great!

Look at Saddlemen.com for replacement kits(foam and cover) or seat covers.

Y671 is their replacement cover for the '82 Maxim 750.

I put one of their double bucket touring saddles on my Suzuki GS850L and it was good fit for the seat pan but did not have a grommet for the seat lock which comes out of the rear of the seat pan. I had a local upholstery shop install the grommet and finish the seat for me.

 

Nice! I have the same bike (mostly) and have a couple questions for ya:


-Where did you get the new handlebars and how did you end up mounting them?

-Does your master cylinder leak? Its angled downward significantly with your new handlebars; I am sure mine would leak like that.

 

Nice job, Robbie. How's it run?
