1979 Maico Magnum 400 For Sale:
Professionally built with ’81 forks with Maico Only rods, legal travel and shorter ’79 steering stem, Maico Only / Thor aluminum swingarm, Works Perfomance shocks, Maico Only pipe, silencer and pegs, Mikuni, aluminum rear hub drilled to accept ’81 sprockets, Sun rims with Buchanan spokes, Rage Racing shifter and case saver, Renthal bars and powdercoated frame. Cylinder has been cleaned up and matched, but porting is stock. Clutch redone by Lynn Shoup at Rage Racing last season. Gas tank in great shape.
The bike was then purchased in the Winter of 2007 by the present owner and completely gone through by Carlos Serrano. New Wiseco Pro Lite piston and bore job (1 hour on it), forks gone through and shocks dyno’d by Carlos Serrano, all new fenders, number plate and side panels, motor and transmission dissassembled and gone thru, new chain and sprockets, new air filter, new throttle assembly, new cables, and new Wheelsmith style clutch spring (not washers).
A great looking, solid, race winning bike. This bike was a 2006-2007 AVDRA Class Champion. It combines the legendary handling of the Magnum, the great front forks from the ’81 Mega, and the silky smoothness of the 400 motor. Photos available.
