maybe that xj700 it was a 4 cylinder. some of those parts look like parts off my radian but the carbs are much bigger. but the rear brake looks prett close to that. there is an xj700 on craigslist atlanta right now i'll see if i can put the link on here.actually after looking again that may be it. it's very close. they also have a cool seca 900

also here ia an 1100 looks ok but i think kinda pricy mine looks way better and i paid 1100 for it and i got lot's of extra 79 parts to go with it.

If it is in the original frame my guess would be a 650 Seca or Maxim. Looks like shaft drive with a rear drum brake. the 550's were chain drive and the 750's were rear disc. Lived with a 650 Seca for over a 100k miles. By the looks of the rear wheel my guess is the 650 Maxim. It looks fatter than what was on the Seca. Also the 650's did not have YICS. I believe the 550's and 750's did.

Hi Jeffe,
I have a 650 Maxim. Maxim has YICS Shaft drive rear drum brake . looking at the picture again. Rear could be maxim frame looks Maxim Front fork does not look 650 Rear wheel maxim painted black Front Not maxim as spokes on maxim are curved. 750 & 650 motors very difficult to tell apart.

i think it's a radian or a new maxim 4cyl. here is a bad pic of my radian look at the rear brakes and the shape of the pedal. i'll have to find the better photo's it also shared components with the xj700 i'll find a good link to blow it up and see.

For some reason my eye keeps being drawn to the coils and their positions as a hint.

[yamahansolo]

here is an xj700 from craigslist. kinda pretty!
