    So i pretty much stripped everything down to the frame and in the process of determining what kind of seat/rear seat cowl/gas tank would fit best without much fab work. I was wondering if anyone knew of a site that would show which seat/rear seat cowl would fit on the maxim? Would a rear seat cowl from an xs750 plug and play? Thanks guys

    An XJ750 Maxim seat fits perfectly, and that's pretty much it. Same goes for the gas tank. the XS frames are quite a bit different from the XJ frames.

    But the stock seat is way too bulky and big for the way i want it. Same goes for the gas tank. I hate the tear drop look the stock tank has. I want exactly the xs750 tank and rear seat cowl on it

    Then be prepared to do some customizing, or get an XS750. Reality isn't going to change to suit your needs. The hard things are worth doing.
