My buddy and I were there Saturday to pick up my motor and chatted with Eric for 3 hours. If you didn't get your parts shipped, the phone answered, or bike...
I can top that! I sent my buddy, group member Big Maico, out from Texas to pick up parts for me. Oh, Ok, so he was visiting family but it sounds like a good...
Hi guys, took my new-to-me '83 490 out for a first ride. I love it,it's as impressive as I remembered them from 20 years ago. The bike seems to function...
Hogy, I'd be really interested to see your progress on the street legal aspect of the 490. I have the same project in mind. In plan to pick up an 81 or 83 490...
Hey Al, I've done a lot of research with the DMV and the State Police, and it appears that all I have to do is add blinkers, lights, mirrors, and a horn. If it...

It won't fit right up. The '78 hub is a 5 speed hub so it's wider. Some guys have run the 5 speed hubs on 4 speed bikes but they had to widen the swing arm at...
I believe all the 504s were GS models for ISDT competition. That's the third one I've seen on ebay in as many years. Of course, it may be the same bike...
I've in my hand an example of the 12 volt 85 watt MZ-B ignition/lighting system being developed for Maico's thru 1992, with the left hand threaded right hand...

The cost would depend on how bad they are. But I'm mainly just doing this for beer money and a favor for my Maico brethren. Just send them to me and I'll let ...
Allright, I took the motor of my '83 490 apart today. There is noticeable play in the right hand side crank shaft bearing. I'll replace the bearings. Rest...
