II'm finishing up an '82 Maxim 650. Made a hardtail out of it. Solo seat, etc. Waiting on some jets to arrive. Running lean.
When the XJ is done, I'd like to get the Honda going. Last time I had it running I felt the clutch going out, and the timing chain sounded like it was slapping around in there. The gas in the tank was held in by the paint, and I didn't have rear brakes, (rear brk master needs rebuild)
All pretty much original except straight handlebars, cafe fairing. Seat was recoveredwith thick vinyl. I know I'm going to need a tank for sure. A drive chain, and I think I was having trouble starting it in the rain. I rode that bike through the El Niño of '97 when it rained for more than 40 days and 40 nights. I counted the days it rained. It was 68 days. From November to January. Not constant rain, but it rained at least once everyday. I didn't own a car. So, I know. I was wearing rubber clothes everyday.
Also, there was a ton of crap in the tank, I would keep extra fuel filters with me, and would have to pull over and change the filter at odd times. Usually on the freeway.
Anyway, that's all I got for now.
