    Absolutely INCREDIBLE bike you have got there! Your dad deserves a beer. Heck, a case is more fitting.

    Hey guys! Unfortunately, her car is totalled and she didn't have full coverage at the time. Luckily we have an old Vue she is driving but I'd like to get her in something more reliable. No particular rush to sell - I suppose as I am enjoying the heck out of the bike. Quite frankly, it is rather...

    Are you a new member? Come here and say hi!

    Us Iowans are MULTIPLYING! :punk: Hopefully you won't be disappointed with the drop in power...although a ZX14 with those mods is probably down right insane. We are going to get some IA rides going this year...where abouts are you? Check my recent acquisition. I've put ~75 miles on it thus far...

    Here is a quick video I made today after a BREEZY ride. I misplaced my gloves over the winter and I can certainly say standard fleece does not block any wind. Good news is that my new HJC modular helmet fits like a glove. I enjoyed the ride but I am NOT up to par handling it yet. As others have...

    Shift light options

    What about the non SST shift lights listed on the site? Will those work too? EDIT: Nevermind, I see the cheaper ones are add ons to there gauges. Either way, $90 isn't too bad.

    Shift light options

    I completely agree with you. $100 seems ridiculous for a tube with some LED's in it. In this day in age, microprocessors and LED's can be had for a couple dollars; these prices are absurd. I would pay max $60 shipped so it appears I'll be waiting around for quite some time. :bang head:

    Firemedic, Shop said carbs are so out of sync it's idling on two cylinders. Hence the fuel smell! I see the DIY guide but I just am having the shop do sync them while I'm at work. Will post update later.

    Headlight setup

    I have that almost exact headlight setup on mine. The previous owner installed it and had absolutely no experience electrically. After I removed the jimmy rigged harness he had, I reinstalled it by added a harness and soldering the wires. I also had to add some good sylvania bulbs as those...

    I haven't had any issues with flooding and it starts right up when warm without choke. This morning it started up just fine with the choke on half or so. The power band felt linear and without hesitation. The throttle stick also occurred if I pulled the clutch in at 4k in 3rd gear. It truly...

    Well, I went for my first ride today around town...Temps hit 45 here in IA so it wasn't exactly highway warm (at least with my gear). I must start off by saying...HOLY SMOKES DOES THIS THING MOVE. :rocket bike: Absolutely NUTS. I cruised around town and hit 55 or so in some areas. I noticed the...

    Storage???

    http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Accessories-MotoGear-73707-Motorcycle/dp/B000RN4FK6/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header Would those work for someone on a budget? With the passenger seat being wider than some of the sport bikes I would imagine it would fit more snug without sagging? Obviously a fixed mount is...

    My First Ride

    Bill, Awesome to hear! I too am waiting for my first ride...the weather here in IA is still horrible. Unfortunately wonderful machines such as the VMax sit for many years untouched...it takes a true enthusiast such as yourself to get them going again. :rocket bike:

    Chuck, Completely agree with you... But at least you know your machine... I am still waiting to get to know mine! She's a beautiful machine just waiting to be ridden. :p
