I did not want to say anything about this. But here it goes.
I bought this 82 maxim $500. I have cleaned the carbs (cleaned them myself), replaced the starter (paid $33.00). I got the ignition key but had to break the fuel tank lock. I can now open it with any key. I dissassemlbled the helmet lock works with any key now.
I now need the speedo tach assemlby. Still looking for one.
I started it just a while ago, sounds good.
I could not help it. I used to have a 650 maxim back in 1984.
Oh yes here is a picture.

Nice. I almost bought one myself, but ended up getting a Seca 550.

I think a buddy of mine has one of those scrapped out I know he has that tank and I can look at it and see if it has the speedo and tach for you if you want ,I don't know what kind of shape it is in.

I've got to admit that I like those 80's sport/standard bikes. KM I really like your Seca. I was looking for an 80's Nighthawk 750 when I found my Mabellene. I dig those little fairings and the rectangular headlights. Very retro.

There are quite a few in this area for sale. Good prices too. $2000 and down, in running condition. There are honda, yamies, sukies and so on.
Think of looking at two in a town close by. $900 for two. One is an 82 maxim 750, the other an 85 midnight maxim also a 750.

Very slick and they're fun to work on! Those inline 4's are pretty spunky too. Don't know much about the Yammy's but it looks like fun.

The rpms at 70 mph is the same as our vulcan.

That is a good idea. See what he wants for it and get me a pic to compare the parts.
Thanx.

It may be a few days before I can pin him down as he works a weird schedule but I try to look it over and get pics asap

Nice find & save NR.
