Also, have you worked out a rear fender? This thing is coming together nicely! as a maxim owner, i'm always curious to see how people work around that monoshock.
Thanks. I'll have to check it out when I get home.
Are you using anything toward the front of your swingarm to keep mud off your filters and battery?
my swingarm is the same with those two little verical bars.... i considered putting a metal plate there.
I just need to figure out why this fuse keeps blowing. I know there is an entire thread of wiring diagrams, but I can't seem to find one of an 82 maxim. Anyone know of a bike that uses the same or similar wiring?
Ksqrly, was your 83 diagram sufficient you think?
Did you end up finding a different monoshock option or are you working with that stock one? Also, do you ever check out Bill's Boneyard out in Magna? It's right near my work so I go during lunch sometimes. If you're looking for a different shock (maybe one of those XT ones) they may have something for you.
Ksqrly - did you have to replace the bearing inside of your swingarm? For my swingarm they use the roller bearing style. One of them is totally shot and all the needles in it are broken. The other is fine.
I was wondering if you (or anyone) has had to replace them, and if there is a bushing option that will work to eliminate those bearings.
