Isn't that a shaftie?

Funny story about that danno. I cut off the top of the swingarm planning to make it look like the stock XS650 (dual shocks) then inspiration struck me; this bike would look awesome with the classic hard-tail. If it turns out that I cannot in fact use the weld on hard-tail from PSW Customs, then...

Yeah. Everyone calls the xj400 maxim an xs400, but it's really an xj. A lot of differences in the frame structure (there is no brace in front of the engine) and engine parts. Unlike the other xj bikes, it only has 2 cylinders and is a chain drive. Luckily, I can still modify the hardtail kit to...

Thanks guys. That's really bad news about the hardtail kit. I will get some specs about it all and maybe it can be modified to work.

Wow. That just blew my mind! I totally have a XJ400. Talk about alternate reality man.

The first. Hence maxim written on the side.

Hey all, I'm new to the site. Hopefully you can help me with my questions. I am hardtailing a 1982-83 xs400 with PSW Custom's weld on hard tail. http://www.freewebs.com/pswcustoms/partswebstore.htm They require that you use an XS650 rear wheel. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between...

I am hardtailing a maxim XS400. With a maxim 400 weld-on hardtail section. The fabricator told me the frame was built to use the xs650 rear wheel. If the xs650 does not use the 5 spoke wheel, I will just have to buy a new front and rear wheel that match. No XJ models involved.

PM me a pic of it, SASSE. Do you want to sell or trade? If you have any need for xj750 or xs400 parts, we can work out some kind of trade.

Thanks for the info Teebs. The reason I need one is this: PSW Customs, the only group I have found to make a weld-on hardtail for the xs400, designed theirs to use the xs650 size wheel. The bike I'm hardtailing is a maxim, therefore it has the swept back 5 spoke wheels. I don't want to have to...

I need a 5-spoke rear wheel for a xs650 maxim with the axel, sprocket, drum brake, everything that hangs on the swingarm. PM me if you can help.

I have A LOT of parts for 1982 xs400 for sale. Everything except for the engine, frame and front wheel is for sale! PM me for info. I also have an xj750 for parts, whole bike or PM for a specific part. Engine turns, missing starter. I live on I-95 in GA. Also, I'm looking for a xs650 maxim...
