It's a 7 inch headlamp and the bezel is like 7 1/2" OD. I am so glad it's almost done and turned out real stable with just the one attachment point.

Ok, it's almost together but this is what it looks like. I opted to keep the wires outside of the bucket because I guess halogens get real hot. Found a good spot low and zip tie to the cables. I have them organized and just have to fix them with braided wire loom and secure bound together. I...

This is what i'm talking about brother, a prime example of making something old-school and this is what the Vmax could have been if it wanted to. Totally retro, except those forks but I wouldn't complain if it was mine. I actually want those forks on my bike so Onetodmax has a big one up on me...

I guess if you're going to go totally old school with a sealed beam headlight, I may not hurt to drop an 8" Big Blaster on there. lol

I would have been interested in that headlight maybe and I find the bike interesting also. The headlight fits that bike nicely and hope mine turns out looking as good as that. It looks like an old school factory build that came that way. Nice work

Good to have you here. I love to fear the Max power!

Your a lucky man and the bike is lucky you came along to buy it. I like the black side panels and the bike just the way it is. You don't need to change a thing unless you want to. Enjoy that fine machine Helimech101

Kind of hard putting my vision into words but it will be clearer when I start it. Real old school setup that will make the Harley boys take notice

Heres the thing with those units, referring to the back side. They tuck up tight so you don't see the back, which is ugly. I like to see the back of the headlight like any teardrop headlight that you see on choppers and springers ect. Then you use the bucket's interior to hide the wires. I...

Fire-Medic got me started on this idea and I have been digging into it hard. Keep in mind that I don't ride at night anymore due to my old eyes but I do want a decent performance. I should have thrown this out there before I pulled the trigger on this but I just ordered what I will need to do...

Well, I mocked it up with red tape and I have decided that the valve covers are a no go for me. The bike has a lot of red going on already and I felt that more black/chrome was needed to balance colors. My eyes were drawn to the heads too much instead of viewing the whole motor when looking...

If I do it, It will be a newer one that has good performance suitable for the Vmax. Thanks for the insight

Good idea. I have some red electrical tape that I can cut to fit that will mock it up good enough. Thanks!

I was also thinking of going back old school with the round headlight and bucket from possibly a V-Rod. You mentioned it to another member in another thread. I put one on my old Kawasaki ZRX from a Yamaha XJ. It deleted the mini fairing and square headlight from it and turned out looking great

I was thinking of it but was wondering if it would be too much. Sometimes less is more but the jury is still out on that one and it's still on the table to possibly do.

All kidding aside, if it says front and back, could it be some kind of gauge stick for setting up suspension? I don't have a clue other than that.

I think they call that a dohicky or a thingamabob

I added red hi temp engine enamel between the engine fins last night. One more thing off the list!

Thanks Modaguy818! Bikes are always a work in progress and enjoy your Vmax also. Hope you get yours sorted and the staff/members here are amazing. They put me to shame with their knowlege and I am grateful for the support they generously give.

Not familiar with those bands, but then again, we didn't have the internet back then and I never ventured to any of the big cities. No bands that had an album would even come close the the bars we had in the valley. Good info though
