Who's Kyle?

https://www.tourmaster.com/nylon_cruiser_iii Tourmaster has the Ver4 of their Slants bags out, in sizes M, L, XL--10, 12, and 15 liters per bag. Does anyone have these, which size, and how do they fit on the bike? Should I be looking at the Cortech instead?

How are these bags? Can you post a pic? I'd love to see what they look like on the bike. Are they easy to mount?

So I unhooked the speedo cable and figured this out for myself: The speedometer cable rotation ratio is 14:5, or 14 cable rotations per 5 spins of the wheel. Well the Acewell only takes a whole number for pulses, so I used 3 and then multiplied the tire circumference by 15/14. (I think...

So I'm getting a new Acewell speedo set up on my 1998 V-max and just want to run the settings by you all for a sanity check. I had a mechanic install it so I assume all the wires are correct but since I didn't do it myself I don't know which all wires there are in there! :ummm: Tach setting is...

Will do, thanks!

New to me V-max, just getting started. Key doesn't turn in the gas cap sometimes. First time it happened I hit it with silicone spray and thought I had fixed it. Then it happened again. Seems like something is catching at 12:00 near the top of the keyhole. Maybe the first tumbler catches...

I bought it! Woohoo!

Hello good folks, thanks so much for the advice so far. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TMnyE3YEx8LUzf7z1 I mentioned in a previous thread that I've previously owned a 1981 CB750K and a 2002 Kawi concours 1000. The knowledge is worth something I'm sure; I know how to take care of vintage bikes...

More news. It's 8800 km on the original odometer. Canadian bike, imported to Japan when new so low mileage. Or so the bike shop says.

Finally got some more info. It's a 98 American machine, imported at some point. A local bike shop gave it an overhaul and sold it to my friend for 2600, and he'll sell it to me for 2000. Has frame brace but everything else seems stock, including fork springs. I'd probably replace those at...

Thanks for the comments and links! Especially the Google search; I was using the forum search with not much success. Will update when there is an update. TBH it sounds like it will handle a lot like my old CB750. I kind of enjoyed having forks that didn't bottom out on my next bike... Sent...

Hello all, first post. 40-something year old dude living in the countryside south of Osaka. I had a 1981 CB750 from 95-98, and a 1000cc Kawi Concours from 08-11. A friend of mine who is made of money imported a pre-2007 V-max from America but decided that he doesn't need it. I think he paid...
