Looking to sell my baby. If interested, please reply to the ad or on here. Thanks guys! http://omaha.craigslist.org/mcy/2211158410.html
SOLVED!! I have a parts bike laying around and I took a look at the the meter clutch on that wheel....turns out, on my bike, the tabs were "wore"...
Turning the cable with my hand, the gear unit moves, so the cable is working there. When I reassemble the wheel and leave cable off of the speedo...
Inner cable does not turn when wheel is off ground. Im going to assume it is something on wheel. Does that part go out often?? Is something not...
still nothing! A few months ago, I was riding when my speedo on my 82 xj maxim started to bounce around and then NOTHING. I assumed the cable...
Its not locking up so much as just when tire grabs....
Wizard, doesn't that cap need to have the smaller side sit on top of the spring, with the large part of cap on top of the piston???
Well that link didn't work right but you can find the brake section....sorry!
I think you got to flip that cap over...... http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorc ... rj/o/m8219 See exploded view of 2. They dont do a good...
I recently had a friend lay his bike down due to a lady pull out in front of him (he is ok, road rash of course) and we were talking about our...
This was shared on another post and I thought I would share it here. If anyone has any thoughts let me know. I would really like to do this to...
Agreed! My bike does run lean. Any ideas on what type of jets to use??
Not to beat a dead horse, but if I get the "fountain" when bleeding brakes, that is NOT a good thing, right??? Because that kept happening....
Think it just might be the lines...I have rebuilt and replaced everything else!
Could not enough brake fluid cause "spoginess" in my brakes?? I have bled them completely and have NO air in it...Im positive of that! My...
Sounds AWESOME! I have some sportster take offs that have the baffles removed and it sounds great! Go for it!!
Not exactly sure on the color. Just picked it out at shop and took his recommendation. I have been debating what to do with valve covers....may...
Adding a few more higher quality (I hope) pics! [img] [img] [img] [img] [img]
I got it off ebay but this is what it is: http://www.amazon.com/SLIPSTREAMER-S-06 ... B000GZK8MO Doesnt do much for me but I like how it looks!
Keep your old pipes and cut off the mouting brackets. I welded them onto new pipe and they damn near look stock! You can save some cash on the...
Thanks guys! Yep, slip ons from a sporster. The guy I bought them from removed the baffles so they sound AWESOME!
So my bike is running pretty damn good but as always, there is always something.... When I get out on the open road and am running about 5000...
Polish them up. Not the easiest task but they look great polished!
Not sure where my originated from (came with bike) but I love it!! [img]
Just two of the pics I have! [img] [img]
Zyggy, Do you need the mirror and stems or just the mirror? I dont have the front right blinker and the tail light assembly has a crack in it,...
[img] [img] [img] [img] $10 plus $8 to ship. Send me an email at coop1999 @ hotmail.com Thanks!
Those are the gauges from the 400. The 650 are pretty faded but are all together. And the cap does not have the key! Sorry!
C'mon guys! Help me get these parts gone!! :) Make me offers! Thanks!!!
Everything must go! I have a new project (a go kart!) and need to clean out these parts!! DIRT CHEAP! $10 plus shipping for ANYTHING! Send...
As the title says, will this work??
HAHAHA! Rick that was BRILLIANT! LOVE IT! I will get on that today and post more pics/results of what I find out! Thanks!
Carl, I just had a thought....it IS ok to have the #3 NOT hooked up, correct? That wouldnt affect it would it? So I need to turn the #1 air...
My 82 650 maxim runs great (so I think)....I have a friend who had some carb sync gauges so I wanted to borrow them. I hooked them up and here is...
Does not have electronic tach...sorry
82 650 gauges.....will they work??
Ok, maybe it is time for an intervention....the weather is finally at riding temp here so I may be ok. Just get me out of my shop!! Here are...
Johno, can you send those to me? I get more out of pictures!! Thanks!
Ok......could you possibly post pics of the BACKSIDE of these controls?? What I mean is, can we see how the linkages "link". That would help...
carb engine boots left with carbs. The master cylinder is pretty beat up. The rotor is in good condition. I could get into a flat rate box...
xj_crazy, I kept that for myself! Sorry! Jiffy, the carbs are gone.
Thanks Hillsy, that is what I was thinking I had heard. Does that compromise the integrity of the stand too much or not?
So I lowered my rear shocks 2 inches by cutting the springs. Now when I put the kickstand down, the bike is basically vertical. I thought I read...
$20 plus $5 shipping to US. [img] [img] [img]
I dont know if my patience is running thin on this polishing or if the aluminum is a little different on the valve cover and brake caliper, but I...
Here is where I got mine, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0375316020 See if he can ship it to you. Good luck!
Someone needs to work for this guy and make it a store with viewable parts....it would be a kickass online store (ebay style!)
I just bought this Maxim as seen in this post: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=23184.html And the forks are considerably longer/taller...
What have you guys done for mirrors after swaping to drag bars or something similar? I found the stock mirrors dont work so well. Any thoughts...
I bought a pretty beat up old bike and am in process of parting it out (see my other posts). I decided that this would be a good bike to test out...
