Re: Misc. Maxim Parts - SOLD Update: Bike and all spare parts not spoken for, sold.
No. All that was there when I got it was frame. Had to perform a little bit of trickery. Fashioned a base to go between the frame and seat the...
No. None of that was with the bike when I got it. The seat you see is a fiberglass one that I hand fabbed. The padding, in this pic, is wrapped in...
Here ya go: [img] Had to make custom side covers and the tank's PO removed the rear ears on the tank already.
No. Making a trade with it for another bike.
Well since it looks like I'll be parting with my Maxim Cafe, it looks like I won't be needing this Seca rim. Sale is for the rim, only. No tire...
Mirrors sold.
Headlight parts sold.
Bump. Price drop to $30 + s&h.
Bump
I have a 750 Seca tank on my 650 Maxim. Bolts right up. PO cut the rear tabs off it before I got it.
If you are still in need of parts, pm me. Might have what you need.
I know someone on here added restrictor tubes inside the pods and they claimed it helped. Makes some sense.
Well, since I OWN a cafe'd 650 Maxim, I'll chime in: I bought it originally planning to bob it BUT I started to really get into cafe racers and...
Already been covered.
Just a thought: Do we know that there is enough throw in these masters and slaves to fully move the stock lever? Just looking at all variables.
Well the reason this all started was because he installed rear sets and was looking to get the rear braking power he lost with it. Having the same...
Yup, straight bolt up. I run one on my 650 Maxim. Will have to block off the stock level sender hole, underneath. And, yes, stock side covers will...
Ah. That's the one listed on CL. How's the tank on it? Dents? Cash only or any trade interests?
I hand fabbed a new set by cutting down, drilling out and spinning up some stoppers on my drill press, shaping them with a file as i went. Came...
Wondering if anybody has a need for these. Had to make custom ones for my Maxim, so these are up for sale. Interested parties can reach me for...
My vote is with Duplicolor or VHT (same company) for basecoats, and follow up with Spraymax for the clear topcoat. Great stuff and easy as hell...
Next bike is gonna be a late 70s Kawasaki KZ, caffed as well. Once I get that complete, I'll probably switch the Maxim back into a bobber with...
Is that a Kawasaki KZ tank I see, used as a seat cowl? :D I have one just like it, sitting in my garage, getting ready for my cafe.
Yeah, epoxy or JB is what I was thinking, too.
Oops, yeah forgot about that option. Especially sad, since I have an 18" Seca rim, sitting in my garage for just the thing.
Well, instead of trying to raise the rear, you could always mod the frame to increase the rear end lift? That way you get a back-end lift and you...
Nice tip! Thanks for sharing! I have some cable shortening to do over the winter, so this'll come in handy.
Bump. Still available.
Mt. Lebanon, huh? I'm right over in Brookline.
Gotta get me one of those. A steal at about $55 USD.
Pretty cool. I dig the 1st person view and the wind noise they give it.
My Maxim had strut when I got it. PO hand-built them. Still sitting the garage, somewhere.........
Finally, a full write-up! Thanks!
Geez, somebody's defensive! I wasn't ridiculing you or your method, wizard, I just had the previous questions, cause what you wrote wasn't quite...
I thought there was a bit more detail than that? for instance, I thought you not only frayed the cable back, but you also are supposed to bend...
How did I GET HERE? On a Yamaha! Duh!! :mrgreen: I just did a search for Maxim stuff when I got mine, and this place popped up in the...
You wife WANTS you to ride your bike. I seriously fail to see the problem in THAT! I say give the woman what she wants! I will say this,...
Exactly what I'm looking to do. Just ordered my phone mount, online. Been looking at some clip-on, bluetooth devices, too, that allow you to use...
You'd have to check with a Do The Ton member by the name of Durgam K. He makes these rear sets. Thank for the kind words, Grunt. Those decals...
Thank you. Your bike is certainly no slouch! I really dig what you did with it.
On the Do The Ton forums, there is a member, Durgam K. He makes them. He has threads up in the For Sale section, there.
I'll decide whether to or not, thank you.
Thanks. I had just sprayed the tires with some of that foaming tire stuff prior to taking the pics, that's all.
Ahhhh, I see.... Thanks. Seat pan wasn't too hard to do. It was the rear cowl that took work. It was a Harley fender that a friend gave me....
Depends on which Maxim and Which Seca, I think. I know 650s and 750s interchange, but don't think 550s will with them, just other 550s.
Exactly what Fitz said, although that doesn't mean the Maxims can't be cafe'd. I did just the very thing with mine and it turned out rather...
Nicely done! Glad to see another shafty cafe on here. Reminds me a lot of mine: [img] Are those the factory side covers, modded? I...
Man, I suddenly feel my Maxim Cafe build a tad inadequate! VERY nice bike!
It's called Spraymax 2K Clear. Used regular VHT rattlecans on my tank refin, along with the Spraymax, and it holds up, wonderfully. The Spraymax...
