    Rearsets on a Maxim 400?

    Is it possible? In my vast ignorance and shortsightedness I thought that maybe I could throw an ensemble together with extras from racing, but that isn't an option. I've spent an embarrassing amount of time looking at the bike trying to find a way to mount rearsets, but nothing is coming to...

    Sportbike tanks.. What do you think?

    I talked with my uncle about the general direction I wanted to take with the entire front section of the bike-relocate the ignition/run keyless, flush gas cap, knee dents(partly out of necessity), etc. He called a couple of days later to inform me that he has a spare Ducati 996 gas tank that...

    Leather Repair

    Anyone know a seamstress in the Raleigh/Wake Forest that can do some work on leather? I got a jacket off of eBay and it could use some small repairs that I don't want to turn into larger issues.

    Riding Jacket

    Hey guys, I'm looking around at some riding jackets while I wait for parts to come in. Anyone use the Xelement Cruiser Jacket from LeatherUp? I really like the look of it, and the price seems ok. Can anyone personally attest to the construction of it? It looks well made, but you know how those...

    The waiting game..

    Hello from NC

    Hey guys! I'm currently working on a 400 Maxim. Currently figuring out how to give it more of a cafe look. It's my third bike, but first street legal one. I currently race a ZX636R so the whole custom bike thing is a very new animal to me.
