Runs great. New rear tire with a little over a thousand miles on it. Petcock has been rebuilt. Chain and sprockets changed three thousand miles ago. Slight oil leak. Just passed NC inspection in June. I bought it last year with 4500 miles on it and had ridden it as a daily driver. In May I...

I have an 82 maxim dohc. I'm 6'2". I bought a junk seat pan off ebay for $15 so i would still have the original if my project didn't work out. I took all the old foam off, went to the local fabric store and bought 3" foam and some vinyl. I then bought a $10 electric knife and carved the foam...

I just bought these two pieces as well as a handlebar phone mount. It will take some creativity with running the wires so that they aren't in the way. I just got them the other day so I haven't really been able to test them on long trips yet, but seems like it will do the trick...

What doe the "reduced effect" mean in the link?

It kind of looks like a 400 but he said something about it being a 250. He is going to get the vin and run it(the bike is not at his place) but thought I might try here in the meantime.

I bought these and have used them for the last year. Works great, no brackets needed. I bought the small ones, if you went bigger I feel like they would be too close the exhaust. You can't carry a ton of stuff but they are good for the basics. Maybe a cargo net to strap a backpack to the...

A clip broke on a wire connected to the clutch side of my handle bar. I'm pretty sure I identified it as a front stop switch assembly and I can just order a new one and swap it out. What I'm having problems with is finding out what it does. I looked all over the interwebs so I thought I'd...

Thank you gentlemen. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Riding down highway 80(aka devils whip) I caught someone pointing something at me out of the corner of my eye. Apparently it was a camera.

Hello, I noticed this yesterday and looked around on xsmike and ebay. I searched for throttle cable and came up with just the cable, I couldn't find anything with the broken piece in the picture. Does anyone know what this part is called and where I can find one? Will parts from another model...

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for luggage. I would ideally like to not have to move the rear turn signals. I just got the thing and have had the carbs cleaned and new tires and don't really want to to any mods as of yet. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Shoot, the same thing is going on with my bike and we just ordered seats from the same place. Did you end up finding the right ones? My is an 82 maxim.
