    I introduced myself,so I figured I'd put up a couple of the bikes I've done.I'm working on an '82 650 Maxim now.I think it's too clean to chop up.Keeping it stock.....for now.

    Uh-oh.......looks like some new talent just showed up. We're in trouble now.

    Seriously, looks like you do some good work. Now, make sure that you do study up on the brakes issues, the carb issues, and the shim clearance issues (I don't mean 'issues' in a bad sense, I mean 'issues' in the sense of 'topics' or 'subjects' to become just as well-versed in) that we all need to address from time to time.

    Welcome aboard! I'm looking forward to see what you bring to the betterment of this awesome group!

    Nice paint job on the 700 airhead!

    Thanx for the compliments.I've been doing some reading and I love the rear wheel conversion.I didn't keep the other two very long.Just bought them to flip.But I think I'm keeping the 650 for my girl.So I'll be learning about'em. Anything I can do to help somebody,I will.

    The 82 650 Max is a great bike. I have been riding my 650 for 4 years.

    Is that a shortened original fender on the '85 700?
