    So I got these bars today off a former owner/member it came off his 81 650 Maxim. I was hoping they would fit

    Here is a pic of his old ride

    Here are some pics of the bar and the side of my engine.
    (U-bolts for the upper frame bars not shown).
    Which bolt should I use? Do I have to take off some headers to squeeze in the bracket?
    Or is it just not going to fit w/o mods?

    The mini case savers mount to the outside.
    You might be fighting some differences on the 2 lower mounts.

    Break out the welder ! 8O

    Looks like my crash bar, yeah the bottom two brackets bolt to the outside of the bottom two motor mounts, while the two small plates up top require u-bolts to brace it to the frame.
