Pulled some old bikes out of the back pasture.

My cousin left two of his old bikes in the field behind the house years ago. I decided to yank them out and see if I can part them out or use a part or two for my bike or something else interesting.
One is a 1970 F5 big horn 350 the other is a '83 or so maxim 650, I rode both of them before the clutch went out on the bighorn and the maxim starting running poorly, so hopefully the engines shouldn't be too screwed up. Anyone see anything in the pics that looks like it isn't worthless?

maxim

that bighorn looks like it would be an easy resto for someone

is that a maxim 550....what a cool engine that thing was....my friend had a p.o.s maxim 550....little wheelie bike....later it was a ripper in the fj600...

Its the maxim 650. I don't remember the year.

i would guess about an 83.....back in 85, i used to work with a guy that had one, 650 or 750 , and he used to tach it up and take off....wasnt a bad little bike.....

Nice looking wheels on the Yamaha.. Is it a shaft bike?

Yeah, its a shafty. I just sold it for $75 the other day though.

Oh, and it turns out the maxim was an '81.

Hey what ya want for the old f5?

Here ya go.
