What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[Holzer8657]

Well I have had my max for around 3 weeks now, it is pretty much stock except for pipes. Where would a good place to begin customizing? Have to admit I'm a basic (at best) mechanic. Ideas?

I would say click on peoples profiles.....go to their albums....and look at their bikes. That way you can get ideas on what you like and what you dont like. A few of the upgrades that I really liked, was a fork brace, frame braces, Shinko tires, progressive fork springs.

Cool. Will look around. Thanks

Ha! Where to begin! What are your goals? Faster, Better Handling, Cosmetics (chrome, coated, and paint), more comfort, better braking, ect...

I installed my adjustable levers, they are definitely nice.
These were a gift from Eric aka Traumahwak.
Thanks again, Eric !!!!

 

[Traumahawk]

Glad that you liked them. I love mine, and they are sturdy as well.

 

[DMAN999]

^ I'm really liking them Eric, they have less play in them than my old stock levers did.
I can't wait until I can actually get on the road and test them out !

looked at it as i covered it up in the garage so it doesn't get dusty............ it's raining out today :tantrum:

 

[Holzer8657]

I think better handling and cosmetic are on the top of the list. Thanks everyone! Keep the pics coming. Is there a better site to order from?

I basically use the members of this forum or ebay.

Got the bike back from Starting Line with the new Avon Venom tires mounted.

I only put ten miles on the new tires so far, and I can already tell I made the right choice.

I think I need to consider what I need next for mods... I am thinking frame braces would be best. The suspension is fairly well sorted as it stands right now for me. If I tighten up the frame first, then I shall be ready for the progressive springs and a set of valve emulators in the front, followed by a good set of shocks out back.

It's amazing how a bit bigger tire can change the look of a bike. Just look how the fender now hugs the front tire. Still have enough clearance, but I no longer have the big-assed gap that the stock tire gave it.

Biker Dash, can you take a pic of the whole bike with the new tires?

Sean actually sells Cage/Needle Bearings for the clutch side lever, to lose the common slop feeling.

Are those 18's you got on there? Can you be specific on what sizes your front and back are??

Nice to meet you!#

Actually Eric, being a member now for a while had allowed me to learn from good friends/brothers like yourself. Picking up bits here and there will allow me to create a masterpiece. At least until I can afford a Gen II in a few years!:eusa_dance:unk:

Just curious, why did you go with the Tour masters and not the 011??
