marauder03. Those look like Kury Iso in gloss black. How did u get them snug against the control housing? Did u replace the stock throttle tube?

Got the 444s. Off to the garage

Thanks Kyle, I think it is just taking a couple days for everyone's recommendation and my wallet to align... Just working through the 5 stages of grief😉

Thanks, is a volt meter anywhere? Wanting to keep eye on battery and charging. Also, is the windscreen noticably helpful for wind deflection or mainly to protect the instruments

thanks Mr Midnight. also -- ran a cross a couple shots of your bike -- was wondering if you have a portfolio of your bike pics out there somewhere. Looking for Ideas. would like to see your "dash" if you have a pic.

Hi all, jumping on an old post. looking for new rear shocks. not a hard rider. No track, no drag racing, just interstate and some tearing around the back roads and route 66 when I get the urge. I do push the bike in a straight line when no one's around, but not racing. So I don't think I...

Hi radioguylogs .. Im stripping off the clearcoat from the sissybar and probably the riser with acetone -- after I clean and polish parts up again with a rouge wheel and then mothers, what is a good clearcoat to use to protect the metal and the shine. I assume there was a reason Yamaha coated...

Those look great. Where did u get them. what grips are they (maker and model)?

Sean, old post so not sure if products are current. Gen1, need new grips, stock bars. Junk grips are china/ebay... left one fits, right one too short and leaves gap by controls. I think maybe there should be a collar for gap space but not sure (I don't have it at any rate). want something...

Firemedic -- thanks for the help -- milk and cookies kept me up, it was the fuel pump. Old pump was dead dead dead. was probably only trying to start on residual fumes from when Danny had the carbs on his test bench. swapped with pump from another vmax and it started right up and ran fine...

Mr Maxmidnight -- thankyou. Im going to have to dig out the carbs so I can check the fuel flow out of the pump. I appreciate the electrical trouble shoot guide. problem is I can't get the bike to start. so can't use it. tonight the battery was right off a noco genius5 charger. I ran battery...

fire-medic -- Thank you. I checked the pickup when it was cold (room temp) and fully charged batt (showing >13v and just off a noco genius5 charger). showed 101ohms (clymers says anything between 80 and 120 ohms is good). I got one good fire and then just cranking. voltage dropped to 11.7v...

Fire-medic -- going to chase your recommendation now. I just got back rebuilt carbs from Danny Unwin (nice work). now the bike will only start briefly with a fully charged battery. I can not rev it or it will die. It dies shortly anyway and the battery is draining. after it runs for a few...

thanks Max -- I just got back rebuilt carbs from Danny Unwin (nice work). now the bike will only start briefly with a fully charged battery. I can not rev it or it will die. It dies shortly anyway and the battery is draining. after it runs for a few seconds and dies, It will not restart...

I did -- its good -- thanks

Hey all -- still working on getting a new to me bike ride-able -- thought I had it were I could ride to work -- but it died at highway speed and left me stranded. left me stranded. Tow truck to house. Problem: recent past it rides fine at lower speeds -- at highway speeds it starts to cut...

Has anyone ever mounted the coils on the sides of the engine. I saw a VMAX on utube site called Clubstyle. Nice customized VMAX gen 1. Says it is a 1300. Interesting that she put the coils on the side of the engine and then just runs the plug wire up to the plug on the outside of the bike...

Thank you again. appreciate the help
