I was wondering if you guys changed the gap on your spark plugs when installing COP's? Reason I ask is cause I am having a really hard time getting my bike to start when it's cold. Went out this morning (low 40's) and went to start it and it really tried to start but just wouldn't catch. I...

I put this out on a Harley forum and was surprised at what I came up with for my FLH so figured I'd put it out here as well. I am a welder/fabricator by trade and like to build my own exhausts but have no access to a pipe bender or good pipe. What I am looking for is anyone who has old header...

As some know I have been fighting electrical problems for some time now. After new wiring harness, new relays, new Battery, COP upgrade, Misc. parts from Sean as well as another TCI from Sean, new back tire, new fork seals, new front brakes and lots of other crap I've forgot. I finally got to...

Well I got the new relay in today and plugged it in cranked the bike up and still have no tach. and no power to the fuel pump when the bike is running. When I first turn the key on the fuel pump will run for the designated 5 seconds and shut off but once the bike is running I have no power to...

I don't think my relay is stock. I am wondering about the 2 wires going to the plug one is blue/white the other on pictures I have found looks to be red/white. The wiring diagram shows only the blue/white wire where does the other one go. The relay I have has 2 wires one goes to battery ground...

I had this in the vboost room but seemed appropriate to move it with the turn it has taken. Basically what I have is a mess. Found that the ignition switch is an epoxied together cobbled mess. In the harness that goes up to the right side switches at the handlebar I.E. run/off, on/res, and...

I ordered up the parts for the forks and am getting ready to go on vacation so I found a local Indy to do the front end while I'm gone. Went out to get on the bike to take it over to him. Hit the choke turned on the key bowls filled servo did it's thing hit the button spins but no start so I...

Money pit that is. I knew it was gonna cost me money to mod my 86 Max after looking through all of the exhaust options and checking out all of the mods on here that everyone is doing. This thing is killing me just fixing it to keep it on the road. First the clutch was slipping so I was figuring...

I was riding home from work this morning and got to a red light and the bike cut off. Reached up and cranked it back up but not easy. got about a mile down the road with the bike spittin and sputterin and no tach reading then it just quit. I pulled over and scratched my head and contemplated...

I changed the oil and filter on my 86 Max today and when I got finished I found a spring and rubber washer in the drain pan. OOPs where the hell did they come from? I went online and looked at the exploded view on Bike Bandit and best I can tell the spring goes over the bolt then the rubber...

Well it wasn't easy but I got the Max running and took it for my first ride. WOW!!:th_image003: This freakin thing flys. A few things I noticed The front end is "heavy" doing slow riding like getting it out of the shop and moving it around but goes away while riding. Either the clutch was...

Hey guys I got my 86 about 2 weeks ago. I had to put on a new tire and had an exhaust leak and the brake lights didn't work. While I had the bike up on the stand and waiting for the tire to ship I figured I would drill the exhaust. I just drilled the five 1/2" holes nothing in the center. I took...

I have read through all I can find on the cop upgrade and printed out the list I found for what fits. I found a set of Denso from an 04 gsxr 600 but the list I have doesn't show these as ones that fit. Has the list been updated and will these work?? Thanks Duke

Just brought home my 86 and have no brake lights front or rear. I noticed it when I went to pick it up and the guy said "really they worked the other day" for what thats worth. First thing I checked was the bulbs All filaments are intact. On the front I took off the 2 wires going to the...

I brought my 86 home and realized it had an exhaust leak. I pulled the back tire, needs a new one anyway, and pulled the stock exhaust and found out one of the down pipes came out of the head so I put that back together, what a beeatch, and cranked her up. WOOOW that sounds awesome without the...

Names Duke and I'm new to the forum. My story started in 1986 when I went to purchase my first street bike and wanted a VMax but ended up with a Radian cause the salesman said I would never get insured on the Max. Since then I have had many styles and types of bikes. I have owned and...
