    Hi all,
    Where can I get rear brakes for my Maxim-X 750?
    Apparently the 750 was only available in Canada.

    Are the rear brakes the same as the 700cc Maxim-X sold in the US?

    I've got the XJCD coming from Gravenhurst as a resource but thought I'd ask here as it's been snowing just a little ths month and not much has come over the bridge. :)

    the brake shoes you need will also fit all xj650 seca, xj650 turbo, xj650Police, all xj700 models, and xj750 models, all having rear drum brakes.

    Oh geez.....don't mention the **cd, otherwise we'll have to listen to the tyrade yet again......

    Be sure not to accidentally order shoes for a 650 Maxim (they are smaller). Some sellers don't know that there is a difference and will list them as also fitting the machines that Hogfiddles listed (which is why buying from XJ4Ever is a good idea).

    Not sure what you're trying to say there, Schumucky ......i re-Read what I wrote-- I believe I wrote the same thing. And I think Kmoe is right too.....

    Unless I'm reading the replies wrong---

    I know I'm right. I have two extra sets of rear shoes. I got them because the people I was helping get their bikes recomissioned ordered them (One 650 Maxim and one 920 Virago). "But the shop said that they were a direct fit." o_O ...and they are, for my 750 Seca.
