    10.5" sportster shorty rear shocks work well for Maxims and you still get a nice ride...unlike struts.

    If your fork springs are strong enough,you can slide the fork tubes up in the triple clamps to lower the front end. Although your bike has air assist forks,air pressure is no cure for sacked-out springs.

    Danno's got a pretty good suggestion there, that is probably your best bet for the front but if you do go this route it is very important to make sure the forks are even. :wink:

    Nice bike! I've got two XJ1100s. I've got a question for you, though. Do your highway pegs flip up when not in use? You got a link or something for where I can find a set just like that? Same with your engine guard.

    www.crc2onlinecatalog.com has flip up highway pegs. You'd just have to fab up that bracket. $15-$29 for a set depending on the style is what I found.
