Just read that Harley is coming out with a new 500 and 750. Will be debuting in India tomorrow (17th) it will also be available in the US and early specs says it has a Michelin/ Harley 15" Scorcher ll rear tire. The Scorcher series are radials. Harley tire web sight does not have this size...

had a new Avon directional tire put on the front of my 05. took it for a test ride and the speedo does not work. I think the guy put the tire on backwards because the speedo sender unit is now on the right side of the rim ( sitting on bike) and I thought I remember it being on the left side...

I m an old fart and not a big fan of the blacked out look of my 2005 . I've already had the front and rear rims polished to a chrome like shine and IMHO they look much better. I now want to have the front lower forks polished but I see there is some rubber on there that of course can not be...

First let me say that I respect what you guys have to say about most everything. I posted a question in another thread on this subject but did not get the info. I was looking for so I am making a new post. I want to put a radial tire on the front of my Max. Some have said that all MC...

Can someone point me in the right direction for a handlebar mounted indicator that will tell me what gear I am in. Are these easy to install ?

OK, I know this front brake reservoir is made by Nissin and it has a 14 stamped on it. However I can not find a similar one in any forum pic's. It is working perfectly but I want to change the cover to chrome or polished aluminum. The other side(clutch) looks like stock Yamaha and already has a...

Can you guys ID these mufflers. They are 12" long with 2 " openings at each end. They are slip on's. The carbon fiber look is contact tape, they are chrome or stainless under the tape. The reason I want to ID these is to find the correct baffle for them. My plans to replace the entire system...

Think I got ripped of from my local MC shop ( Del Amo Motorsports} Got the bike back from a supposed total carb rebuild. Bike still backfiring through the right muffler so I'm taking it back Tuesday. They saved the parts but I do not have them in hand yet. Looking over the invoice I see...

Would like to know if there is a kit available to convert the Max to a trike. Any members done this. ? Pic's ?

Took my 2005 max to the dealer finally. Could not get it to run right since I bought it. Anyway, to make a long story short--- dealer says I need a carb rebuild. They want $800. Does that sound right ? Seem way high to me but I want to be done with this so I said go ahead. Did I get screwed ?

I just bought a 2005 Vmax and it has custom exhaust. I do not know what type of mufflers are on it. They are can type, one on each side. The guy I bought it from wrapped them in a carbon fiber tape, so no name. he said there was no name on them before he wrapped them. They are about 10 inches...

I'm about to give up on fixing my 2005 V-Max myself. You guys have been great on helping me with my front forks, read wheel and stuck float in #1 carb. Only had the bike about 6 weeks and have been trying to get it to run smooth. It has 11,000 miles and, at least on the outside, looks...

I'm doing a carb sinc tomorrow and I forget which is the master carb #1 or #2------ I tried a search of this section but could not find the info. It is my understanding that the other three carb's sinc to the master, is that correct ? also, does anyone have a pic of the air/fuel screw location...

This is supposed to be easy right ? Tire came off OK. Had the rim polished. I'm trying to remount but the drive shaft/ rim gears are not seating right. I've cleaned and greased everything but can not get the tire to seat properly. I've rotated and jiggled the tire, nothing seems to help. even...

I have read that you can not put radial tires on the stock Vmax rims, why ??? I remember when radial tires came out in the 60's and I was able to put them on stock auto rims. I would like to put radial tires on when it comes time to change ( about 2000 mi) I have also read that the stock...

Hi guys. I would like to know what you guys use for front fork oil. I have heard some say transmission and some say power stearing fluid. What do you think is best ?

I just bought a 2005 Vmax. The guy I bought it from said he had just replaced leaking front fork seals. When I road it home I was surprised how stiff it road. I watched the front forks and they did not compress at all over bumps. It has progressive springs but even they should compress, right ...
