Thanks Sean. This all started when I discovered that the coolant outlet barb on the rear head had corroded down to nothing so I really need a complete motor. I'll see what kevman has to offer first.

I have a fwend in Wome called Biggeth Dicketh and his wife is Incontinetia Buttocks

Ok so it seems a previous owner ran water without rust inhibitor in my bike somI need a new motor. Cant find a vmax motor in Australia but have found a venture motor. Is this the answer to getting me back on the road or is the venture motor too different internally to be of any worth to me?:ummm:

At some point a previous owner has ru water in stead of coolqnt in my vmax and the water jackets are rusted out. I need a new motor. Vmax motors are hard to come by in Australia but I saw one advertised which turned out to be a 1300 venture motor. Will this replace my vmax motor or am I wasting...

41 always had sports bikes in the past 70's models through to the '03 Ducati Monster 916 which I sold cos my body hurt when I rode it. Although most of my mates have retired to Harleys I'm not ready to give up horse power so I've gone for the best of both worlds. Power of V-Boost and comfort of...

Thanks guys you seem to be spot on with the water as it came good on my way home and has been ever since. There's still a minute miss at idle but they can sort that out along with the clutch issue under warranty, probably carb balance or plugs.:clapping: I live on a dirt road so min gets dirty...

Hi I did about 300km on the bike on Sunday and it was awesome, I washed it and parked it in the shed till this morning when I got it out to go to work. There was a faint backfire at low RPM but it went away once I was out of the driveway. I hit the highway and opened her up and that's when i...

Took the Mrs for a ride 160km to test out the highway bars and get some brunch. Then out to my mates place to show off the new toy and start designing the forward controls. Intermittent drizzle all day so she was filthy when I got her home so gave her a bath before parking her in the shed. A...

IYO are Supertraps the best option or the best slip ons?

Thanks for the feedback on the paint scheme guys, the original plan was to go over it in matt black but the Kenny Roberts retro look is growing on me. I did manage to knock up a very agricultural looking set of highway pegs as a temporary measure till I decide whether to get forward controls...

After a long 7 week wait I finally picked up my new (to me) Vmax. After an exhilarating but excruciating 1 1/2 hr ride home I fitted the Maxgasser Rick made for me. The ride to work this morning was significantly more comfortable. :clapping: Tonight I'll knock up some highway pegs for even more...

Hi, I'm from country South Australia. So I sold my Ducati to get something more comfortable but the dilemma was cruisers are so slow. Then my wife spies a Vmax, I ride it, I must have one but not that one. So a month or so later I've bought one an '89 which should arrive next week. Next step...
