I've been searching this for an hour unsuccessfully. I need one for my 04 and can't locate a vendor. Could someone post a link? I tried Partzila and got frustrated with their website. Thanks. Jack

Started dripping at the elbow joint lower right side. This is the tube that connects the engine to the radiator. Happened in Colorado on my trip. We put aluma seal in it along with a McGiverish section of bicycle inner tube cut to size and a hose clamp. Got home ok, but need to get an idea...

Doing a Colorado trip next month with a friend and wondered what to expect at 9000 to 10000 ft. in terms of how bad it might run. It has a Marks Performance full exhaust and a Sean Morley jet kit,( not sure what #jets) and runs great in Kansas City. Thanks Jack

It's made by Cree, an LED, available so far only in H4 and looks very promising. A friend just installed one on his new Triumph Explorer and I would say it may be slightly brighter than a DDM Tuning 55 watt HID setup I had on a recently sold BMW F800. The bulb apparently has its own ballast and...

I'm going with Fatmax hardbags and rather than relocating the stock turn signals, I want to use Rizoma zero 11 led units installed on the black plastic portion of the rear fender next to the taillight. Anyone tried this or know whether they will fit? I wasn't able to find dimensions, other than...

I'm probably going the Tourtank route for a bigger gas capacity and can't find the size of fuel hose to order for my 04? Tried searching the various forums, Google etc. Thanks. Jack.

My '04 has 19,000 miles, a full Mark's exhaust and Morley jet kit installed 2 years ago. For the last several months the bike has refused to idle and has a serious miss/hiccup between 3000 and 3500. It runs fine at full throttle, but around town hesistates and stumbles under 4000. We removed...

I had a long conversation with a vendor who only sells soft luggage and he maintains that using soft side bags on the VMax is incredibly unsafe. He says the possibility of the bags shifting and getting thrown into the rear wheel area make them in his opinion really unsafe. We discussed using...

I'm looking at the HAC products and wondered what the opinions here are on the best way to go for an '04 and get a rack and backrest combination? Thanks. Jack.

Does anyone know if this combination presents any clearance issues? Thanks. Jack.

Is anyone on the Forum using one of these to increase gas capacity? I looked at their Website and my first blush response was, are these things any good and do they work as claimed? It looks like you would need a passenger sissybar/backrest to mount it against. I would like to go on trips on my...

Can I use any soft side bags,( Nelson Riggs, Tourmaster), with a Mark's Performance exhaust? I'm interested in a set up that ties the side bags to a tailbag as a unit, but am concerned with the clearance to the pipes. Any other advice/sugestions much appreciated. Thanks. Jack.

I have been using a Puralator car oil filter on my '04 and my records were recently lost. Can someone tell me which part # automotive filter I might be talking about? It's a step up from their regular filter line and the outside is a dull yellow color and has a texture finish so you can grip it...

This has probably addressed before, but I have a specific question that 'search' didn't reveal. Has anyone tried the Exactrep replacement tank? I't's pricey at $800, but I plan to keep my '04 and the short tank range has always been an issue. Any thoughts, plus or minus are much appreciated...

I was a member back when it was free and I've had my '04 since new and will probably be keeping it. My question: is it worth $30 a year or can I get everything I need here for free? Thanks. Jack.

I'm on the verge of recreating my '04 as followes: mark's exhaust Morley jet kit yellow paint job powder coated wheels My problem is deciding on a color combo that is subtle, yet visually appealing and nothing over the top,( no 'cards in the spokes' and rotating beacons ). Right now I'm looking...

Does anyone have a phone # or e-mail for Mark's? There Website contact info. is blank. Thanks. Jack.

Considering some mods to my 'o4 and a yellow paint job is in the mix. Before I commit to painting, does anyone know of aftermarket fenders, tank covers available? Thanks. Jack.

My '04 has some pitting on the wheels. I've tried several different polishes, with no results. These are factory wheels. Any ideas? Thanks. Jack.

What should the triple clamp bolts be torqued to? Second, what type of bearings,( ball, roller ), are the steering bearings? Thanks. Jack.
