Can anyone provide any pro-tips on lowering the motor down, so that I may squeeze the carbs back into place? Anything I should look out for or be aware of before I drop it down onto the jack? First time doing this, any help is much appreciated! [emoji41]

That looks fantastic! The handle bars as well. Really getting a nice streamline look, and is encouraging to see the potential this bike has! I am just looking forward to getting mine cranked haha.

Kipp! Thanks for the update. Giving my carbs a good rub down at the moment. Soaking them in Seafoam. Did the kz tank just drop right onto the frame? Or did you have to make any modifications? 54mm inside diameter for the pod filters?

Hello! Just joined the forum, and look forward to soaking up all the knowledge you all can provide! I was given this bike, so have nothing invested, but would truly love to make this a cafe racer build. I am trying to confirm what model bike I have. Maxim 400, DOHC? Is it a Seca? Has been...
