Pics of my 85' Maxim...

Heres a few pics of my 85 I modded up to grab a piece of the chopper world in a metric, works darn good at freaking out harely guys,lol.

Any questions, just shoot...I made each piece and did every mod including paint ,wiring,welding etc.

 

OOOOppps, can one of the modds move this to the other forum, I just saw this was for tech only...Sorry!

 

WOW cool looking bike. How is for long rides the seat looks hard?

 

That looks hard to control what with the clutch where it is off the handle bars.

 

Outstanding job A.C! Man that is some happening stuff right there.

I was thinking of doing that to my bike too, but the more people I talked to and just the over all bike set up on mine .

Well I just restored her back to original ( minus a few mods ).

So now im lookin for a cb750 to do it to...bwhahahahaha :twisted:

Sorry guyz but that sparked up some nostalgia :wink:


Is that a 700 shaftie?

Good chit there man :wink: ! ~Ridz~

 

Its not too bad on the long rides, as long as I keep eating well it feels quite comfortable,lol. Rode it to a bike show 400 miles straight, wasnt that bad at all.


I ride it like a vespa, once you get comfortable its so easy to ride. Otherwis it is like an anti-theft device....people can Not ride it on the first shot. Between the bar height and the shift,lmao, they would crash,lol.

 

That my friend is what they call a suicide shifter! Its a thing from the other place :twisted: (CHOPPER WORLD) :wink:

Sick looking ride!

 

Yeah, its an 85' Max xj700n shafty. Fun lil scoot,hehe.

 

pretty cool looking, my uncle was telling me to do the suicide shifter on my bike

 

Did you change the rake any?

 

Shes a very nice one Have you tried entering it in bike shows

 

Pretty sure my arms wouldn't be long enough!

 

Wish my stubby arms would fit that thing..........I'd offer to buy it!! :lol:

Not that you'd sell that sexy piece of machinery!!!

Excellent job............Love it!!!! 8)

 

Stock Rake and I have not tried doing a custome show, beside the Horse Bike Rally in Cottonwood last Oct.

I was offered $3200 for it so its likely to go, I wanted a shade more, but thats sufficient. I can always build another anytime.

 

You couldn't even decide on your paint colour , going totally custom would have fried your mind even more than it already is

Nice work AC , looks good . One question though , is there another pivot point on the shifter or is it one straight rod from the shift link ? Any bouncing out of gear is what I want to know :wink:

 

low let me correct you sir, Its not that I could nt decide what color to paint my bike

Its that the painter had his own ideas on this matter, so I fired him scratch the paint job and redid it myself the color I had originally wanted .
(get your facts straight :wink: )

As for my mind being fried "never that" maybe a little scrambled :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Yeah , I know the facts . Just thought I'd come over here and razz you too . Mission accomplished :lol:
Have you posted a pic of your bike over here yet , I'm sure these guys and gals would appreciate another nice looking XJ :wink:

 

Man, you do have a sense of humor. That makes you stop and think!
Cool paint vibe.

 

That thing is the sh@t!! I've been wanting to do a similar fab/custom build myself, but can't bring myself to chop up and into the Seca.... I love the suiside shifter and apes, these are a couple items I intend to add myself. The rear fender looks fabulous too!! I'd love to see more detailed pics!! After i sell the Seca part of the profits are going to be allocated for an older 650 2 cylinder yamaha or honda with a kick start..... and hide the electric starter and key.... hehe!! I'd like to follow this as an example: http://www.homemadehonda.com/pages/bobber.html

 

Moto, thx. Its a mid 80's bike so I went with the mid 80's drippy paint from the mini trucks....Im sure nobody has ever seen a chopper of any sort with this paint style,lol.


Chared, Right on man, thanks.

I am going to try and get a "real" photo shoot in a nice area and go to town. I will save your name and send them to ya when Im done, I will likely post them here too.

 

That would be graet!! I'd love to see them!!
