Been thinking about replacing mine. Both are scratched up and a bit leaky and I like the idea of replacing the whole thing as a unit rather than trying to fix the leaks. Also, it'd be nice to swap out the big stock levers for something a little smaller and less clunky.

I like it. Nicely done!

I've got the Tboost installed (3k/6k/off) and I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I like riding around town at around 4k rpm like 58odie- my max rides smooth at lower rpm, but i find it's just getting into the sweet spot around 4000-4500. Having the v boost open at 3k messed with my...

Man, that sucks for all involved. Glad you got your money. Hopefully the new owner will heal fast and well and that'll be the end of it.

Just got the same one for Xmas. Looking forward to trying it out this spring. Mounts up pretty nice, and seems solid enough. The four mounts stay on the bike and are pretty low-key. Removal is pretty quick, which is good, because it doesn't do much in the looks department. I got this one for...

I'm not sure if I want the rack yet- mainly looking for a sissy bar/backrest for the missus, although the more I think of it, the more I think it might be useful to have the rack in the garage for travelling. You need both the brackets and the backrest, not just the backrest, right? Do you ship...

Wow. I'll just echo the rest of the sentiments here, and say that I'm glad you got away (relatively) clean. Hope this doesn't deter you from riding in the future.

Might just need to be bled again. I had this happen to me last week. I've only had my Max for a few weeks, so I took my time, and started at the bottom of the line looking for leaks, and working my way back to the reservoir. Line and banjos were squeaky clean and dry, and as soon as I shined my...

Thanks for the great tutorial. My V Max is fairly clean, but my TransAlp has some cracks in the plastics that have been bugging me for years. (Those of you familiar with the TransAlp know how rare replacement plastics are!) I can't wait to give this a whirl!

I like the Decepticon tags! I've been thinking of doing one of my bikes with Decepticon tags, and the other with Autobot. LOL- I'd have to build a wall down the middle of the garage to prevent battles! I think the 'Alp's gonna need a couple of buddies to take on Mr Max!

Haven't tried the dynabeads yet, but both the Max and my TransAlp (tubed) will be getting them the next time the tires need changing. I've read too many positive testimonials about the dynabeads- I've got to at least try them out.

Any more progress? Can't wait to see how this one turns out!

I'm really liking the look of that headlight.
