    Stumplifter, that is why I am asking, a little confused to what size it is? I am trying to find out more about it before I make the drive but as always in my area (Wisconsin) lots of sellers don't seem to like to talk...chat...ect.

    Okay maybe it is a xj650....just looked at some of the pics in the gallery and it seems to match up...should have looked a little deeper before I posted...sure wish it was a 750 or bigger.

    That's a 650 Maxim, and it's set up for the optional Yamaha fairing.

    Was talking to my wife's employer today. He used to have an XS 1100, he mentioned that he put pods on it and said it was the dumbest thing he ever did...

    I agree too much hassle with the pod tuning.

    It's just like many of the other myriad drums......

    Here's the 650 tell-tale signs:

    650 seat
    650 grab bar
    650 exhaust
    650 gauges
    650 fender
    650 foot pegs
    650 foot peg mounts
    650tail light
    650 front rim
    650 non-YICS engine
    650 airbox
    650 reflectors

    Want me to keep going?

    Only in that it's not an 1100.
