    1st Gen V-Max Fully restored 1986 Vmax

    “Concourse” restoration is the highest of restorations resulting in better than brand new from the factory. So I “rebuild” Vmaxes. I sand the casting flash on unseen areas of aluminum parts, I relieve sharp corners and round off sharp edges for things getting new finishes simply so it helps...

    You need a manual but there are a few “how to videos” available. Do a search under carbs.

    Steering race removal tool

    For lack of a welder, but a I have a Dremel style rotary tool with fiberglass cutting wheel that easily fits in downtube. I slice two grooves on opposite sides of the race. This is simply to allow a flat blade driver to alternately tap it out. Problem is this works great for knocking out the...

    Exhaust advice 4 into 1

    Or just buy the bost eliminator tubes. Easy to revert, no damage done. Low end power?! I’m launching int the power band ! LOL. Streetwise, that is a consideration I suppose.

    Case guards

    just throwing out a “Thumbs Up”on the Muscle engine guards in the textured finish. When I powdercoated, I tried to steer people toward the ”Crinkle” finish because nothing gloss or chrome will stay nice because you always have grit or gravel on your boots/shoes. Plus, how many times I had...

    Carb mishap, advice needed

    Does not sound like you care to get way deep into the fix and hearing the history, I’d pull the entire rack to send them for full disassembly and ultrasonic cleaning. Any questionable parts can be changed out and having the carb off the bike is the way to try the A/F mixture screw extraction...
