I've got a 84 maxim 400 and LOVE it. Decent power and fun to ride. Not to mention awesome fuel economy. Bought mine for $300 us and bobbed it. They are a well made machine in my book. Good luck nd have fun.

Will do. Thx Hopefully I can get to that point this weekend

You do have valid points. Going to do a little more research for a slim fuse block. Thanks

my only thought was I could shorten wires enough for fuses and they could lay flat under seat instead of fuse box which is an inch or so tall.

Was wondering if anyone out there has used inline fuses instead of a fuse box? I'm liquidating my turn signals and just thought of trying the inline route instead. Any input would be appreciated. Thx

I thought that also. Was hoping someone has any Intel or has tried it in their build Anyone have any options that have worked for ya?

Wanting to change bars on my bike. 1982 400 maxim. How tall of an ape hanger can i go without new cables? Or drag bar width max?

That sucks. I have built evrything else on this earth when I had my shop but a motorcycle. I'm green as a blade of grass in june when it comes to motorcycle engines.

Hoping to liquidate most of the wiring and hide the rest. Also want to keep the airbox for now but was wondering if I cut the mufflers off and extended pipes would I have to rejet carbs.

I appreciate the link to Google. I have searched through all of them already. Was hoping to see more detailed ones that focused more on each section of the bike. Like pics taken during the build not just finished projects.

Anyone have any pics of a maxim bobber? Would really like some detailed ones of the rear end and seat setup

Awesome. Thanks for your input. Tear down starts next weekend. Will post some pics soon I hope.

Cool. Thanks. Just wasn't sure if it was only for looks and old school ways or if you had to for some mechanical reason. I'm 6'4 280 so was hoping to keep shock on. Has anyone on here left the mono shock on?

New to the forum and the world of xs400's. Just bought a 82 xs400 maxim. Looking forward to making a inexpensive bobber. I see everyone using square tube to replace monoshock. Was wondering the reasoning behind this? Was thinking about leaving my shock on. Any and all input would be greatly...
