What did you do to your Vmax today?

[maleko89]

He's doing well. He's starting to get pretty alert during the day and sleeping a bit more each night. I think he gets up every 1 1/2 - 2 hours at night for feedings. He's definitely a boob man like his dad. I'm getting pretty efficient with diaper changes. Right now, they're yellow and seedy.

:eusa_dance:Today i fitted progressive fork springs which i found improved the handling slightly, i then dropped the forks through the yokes (triple trees to you guys) by 25mm resulting in much less wallowing . yeeeeeehaaaaaah. i then terrorised the inhabitants of my native Sussex for a couple of hours.:gun shoot:

Try some thicker oil! That does the trick!:thumbs up:

ive read wollowing can be caused buy worn rear tire...when lowering the front forks by sliding them up the triple trees..is the frame still level..does it still feel level when riding...or you cant tell

You can't really tell... I like the front lower than the rear because it falls into the corners quicker.:thumbs up:

:eusa_dance: its got a new rear tyre, the bike still feels level, were only talking 25mm, it just feels more positive when taking bends . drops in and picks up on the out alot better, and it was free apart from the progressive springs which i feel didnt do much at all:eusa_dance:

Are you sure it didn't already have springs? I put a set in my buddies bike and it made a HUGE difference!:thumbs up:

 

[Dezeez]

I gotta agree with 4GaseM. I put progressive springs in this summer and I noticed a big difference. Especially when braking, the front end doesn't dive nearly as much as the stock springs.

Hey, 4Gasem - orgasm, I just got it! Nice play on words.

Did the winter oil change, carb sync, storage for the winter. We are about to get hit with some pretty big weather in a day or two----- no biking for a few months.
The weather guessers are predicting 8 to 10 FEETof snow above 7,000 feet( we are at 6,000 ft. above sea level) Global warming my a$$
At least my snow blower is working well:eusa_dance:

On my first max (96) when I changed to progressive with 20wt oil, it made a BIG difference - than when I put race tech emulators, progressive springs and 20 wt oil on my new max (06) it made a BIGGER difference - I still think that it's not at the level of inverted forks, but a hell of alot better than the stock pogo sticks it originally had.

Today I installed the DEGET braced and notched swingarm. I had a hell of a time getting the driveshaft to line back up into the universal joint.

I started to get the exhaust ready to install now too. I will get on that starting tomorrow.

:bang head:ah! you have a point there, i may have wasted my money. bugger!

 

[113s&s]

I for one am real happy after being on a modified harley for 15 years,,,find no problems with the max smooth ride... handles great ...turns corners great ...stops good ...and enough power to keep me happy...and it still has carbs...all i ever found when playing with metrics or harleys is.....you have to learn to leave well enough alone because in the long run other problems start...guess i just got sick of spending money on these fuckers :hmmm: maybe ill feel different if i start getting the wobble weave...but right now all stock and steady as a rock

66 temp today usually its reg all year long .... not this year so no ride....but i did start the sucker...with all the talk about keeping carbs full of gas and with dino oil and dry starts..i decided to start the sucker up once in a while with clean oil im thinking it should keep water and acid under control through the next few months,,,besides i needed a fix......dont mind me im a screw ball

I mounted the Super Trapps today. Sounds nice. I started with 6 discs and the high end was bogging, put a 7th disc and it is revving better but I think I need to try 8 or more. I didn;t have a chance to try 8 before work so I'll do that tomorrow.

My neighbors are gonna hate me
