    XS750/850 triples too...
    Only the XS650 and below were chain drive.

    So does that mean the differential and wheels will work on maxims? Those rims would look good as hell on my maxim.

    The rear gearing is too "tall" for the XJ series, and there was some other difference- - axle size??- - that keeps it from being a bolt-on.

    The rear wheel of your XJ650 has a drum brake built into the wheel. The XS11's all had Disc rear brakes.
