Bike no longer for sale. He traded it for a GW Aspencade.

Believe the current owner is more of a GoldWing man, as he has his eye on two of them! Sold this bike to him a few months back, told him I'd post it up to help him sell it. Currently has an early-model front wheel and late-model rear wheel, both painted graphite or black, with new Shenko tires...

If you think you did a good job at cleaning the carbs and it's still running rough at idle / slow speed, I'd consider synching the carbs. Shotguned mine 3 or 4 times, still a low speed miss. Bought a CarbTune Pro 4, hooked it up, and the synch was so far off that one of the cylinders wouldn't...

Just got home from delivering the Vmax to its new owner. Got my $2,850 asking price, plus $50 for delivering it to him in Brownsville (30 miles). Got to ride it one last time, and my wife and I had our supper paid for! Probably still lurk around here a while. Gave the new owner the web address...

Was looking forward to meeting up with a few of you in a couple weeks. However, just got home from delivering the Vmax to its new owner. Got my $2,850 asking price, plus $50 for delivering it to him in Brownsville (30 miles). Got to ride it one last time, and my wife and I had our supper paid...

Installed new clutch parts from Sean Morley. New OEM frictions, blasted steels, converted inner 1/2 friction to a full, Heavy-duty clutch spring, and new OEM gasket. Good news - now the clutch is not slipping when VBoost kicks in. Bad news - harder to hang on when VBoost kicks in !!!!

Sold, $2,100, 22Feb17.

Re: '89 V-Max, 24K, $2,750, south Texas Another update. Ordered new OEM friction plates, steels, full-size inner friction plate, and HD spring from Morley Muscle today. Pulled clutch basket, still has original-style shift segment, but no damage, bent ears, etc. Selling price went up not quite...

Early spring for us way down here, too. At noon, 85*, but the wind is blowing 30, gusts to about 40. Get to wear the sides of the tires a little with all the leaning!!!!!

Re: '89 V-Max, 24K, $2,750, south Texas Updated Craigslist ad. Thx for looking! https://mcallen.craigslist.org/mcy/6008788182.html

Sounds fun. Rode the Sisters about 8 years ago with a Honda Shadow group. Will try to get there - IF I still have the Vmax then, and IF I'm not still planting on the farm that weekend. I'll check back, and keep you posted as time draws nearer. Thx!

Selling my 1997 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100, 57,138 miles. V-twin, water-cooled, shaft drive, 5-speed. Very nice bike. Everything works as it should, just needs a new garage to park in! Owned it the last 9 years, put on 22K-plus miles in that span. Recently bought a '98 Honda Magna to replace it...

Have an '89 VMX12 for sale, very nice condition, runs great, dark blue color (emissions sticker under faux tank cover says it's for a '85 model), no scratches or chips, all chrome very good, everything works as it should. This is my third Vmax, don't really wanna sell it, but have 3 bikes in the...

I know the year is right - 1989. Production date is either 10/1988 or 09/1988 , can't remember which. I'm on a tractor planting milo on the farm right now, so I can't go check ! ! :biglaugh: Also, thought I saw somewhere that the side covers where the 'Vmax' emblem is was different in '85...

You are correct, sir. No 'Vmax' badge on the side covers, and the emissions tag on bottom of the faux tank cover says 'passes emissions for model year 1985', as well as having a Kerker sticker and several others under there. No Kerker exhaust. I assume all three pieces were traded out at some...

I appreciate the kind words, Fire-medic, and the link. I believe 100% in telling the truth, especially on something that someone is going to be entrusting their life on. "This is what it is, this is what it's got on it, this is what's right with it, this is what's wrong with it. Priced more than...

I know I am like 1,000,000 miles away from you, but I do have a Vmax for sale. I think. Yeah, I do - maybe. That's the thing about these bikes. They are hard to get away from once you have owned one. This is my third one. Was going to replace my Shadow Spirit 1100 of 9 years with a Honda Magna...

I have a '89 for sale (11/88 production date), 24K miles, dark blue bodywork, all stock except turn signals and K&N filter, engine crash bars, new Briidgestones front & rear, new throttle cables, all 4 new air / fuel adjustment screw kits, carbs synched last night (w/ my new CarbTune Pro 4 -...

Joined about a month ago. Introduced myself, relayed a little story, and was 'reminded' that I didn't post any pics. Well, here ya go. Just got through synching carbs this evening. Runs MUCH better now! (Pics from the day I got it - new tires and much cleaner now)
