First of all, Great group! I remember watching Gaylon Mosier on his Wheelsmith Maico race. He was one of my childhood idols and I use to race a '83 490...
Travis, Great Shot of my high flying Maico! Do you have a higher resolution file that you can email me? I would love to have this as a background on my...
I don't know about everyone else but this trend of breaking up perfectly good Maicos just for a quick buck is kind of disturbing to me. A perfect example is...
I agree, but what should you do if nobody is there ready and willing to save a beast??? I have 2 maicos on ebay that go off tonight, a 69 and a 75.5.. both are...

the guy who is selling the parts from his 79 lives about 1 mile away. he bought the bike for about $1,000 in april, started to restore it and then for some...
I don't mind at all. Think of it this way. The parts cannot be used to anything, I mean anything else than to save another maico. If people are willing to pay...

I would like to have those bikes, especially the 69. The problem for me is, for bikes in that price range the shipping adds half again to the cost, usually...

Hi everybody, my name is Randy and I am the person that is parting out the 79 Maico on ebay. I didn't mean to piss anybody off. I bought the bike with every...
My two cents worth: We need bikes parted out in order to have a supply of spares for our existing bikes but there is a balance between one that should be kept ...
Have you seen that 440 GP on eBay with a buy it now of $2,800? I saw the bike in person at the AHRMA National in So. Cal. It's a testament to how much better...
Hello Randy, Nice to hear from you. I can see your point. If I needed a running 250 Magnum motor your's would be a godsend. You should be able to pick up a...
rick good point... might be why the parts might bring better prices? the shipping on parts is lots easier to stomach than freight on a whole bike... mike ... ...

Hello Randy. We don't mean to rag on you. We just didn't know the whole story. I see your point, if one can buy a race ready bike for $1500 or so, why would ...
Well said, Travis, I think a balance is the key. I think this is probably the point I was trying to make with my initial comment. I, too, don't care to tick...
As regrettable as the demise of any endangered machine may be, it is inevitable, and Randy [and Bengt] are essentially correct in their assertion that is will...
I have the above bike with a pvl and need to set the timing after a rebuild but have lost the specs that came with the pvl. Does 2.1 BTD sound right? Thanks...

For the "FATTEST" Pegs available, check out the IMS/RAGE RACING Stainless Pegs and RAGE RACING Custom Fork Springs for 42mm Forks in photos of MAICOMOTORCYCLES...
Dang Dennis, I had a bid on the airbox for that bike. Now I know why it was canceled early. I guess I'll keep searching. Good luck with the bike. Terry ... ...
Yes, those are very nice....only problem is they are for '81 and newer. When will someone offer affordable, wide, bolt-on pegs for the Magnums? Terry ... in...
lynn haven't heard back from you on the motor trade? how about 2 sets of pegs and maybe 2 ignition covers... 1 set for ray the other for me?? you get the...
Yes. I run my 450 at about 2.1-2.2 mm BTDC. Rick PVL dealer I have the above bike with a pvl and need to set the timing after a rebuild but have lost the...
For my 78 Magnum I have a pair of European Dirt's pegs and I love them. Actually, Lynn from Rage told me about them. I don't know if they are considered...
Sactosam, I sincerely hope you are joking and are a buddy of Randy's. If not, please refrain from the trash talking or you will be removed as a group member. ...
$150 for pegs is not affordable for me right now (need too many other parts far worse). I guess what I had in mind were the "Fat Pegs" offered by Rage Racing...
