I'm planning on riding Saturday with you guys. I will probably meet up with the beekeeper and ride down together.

Hi I have Kawasaki ninja 1000 and it has good low end power like a vmax with an upright riding position. It has available hard bags too. It's not a big bike so it wouldn't be good for a real big guy in my opinion. It leans more toward the sport side of things but its a pretty good all around...

Ugly is right. I don't know why but that offends me on some level.

The Rocket 3 looks stupid. I would rather have a gen 1 any day. If this kid gets this Rocket it will be brand new to him I would think that would be an advantage to you. Good luck.

Thanks for organizing this ride i had a great time riding with everyone. Even though I don't have a vmax any more I felt welcomed and I appreciate that. Vmax riders in my experience have some of the best attitudes when it comes to diffrent types of bikes and the people that ride them. I wish...

I'm not sure if this has been posted before but I thought I would share this. I like that the scoops are on there.

I was going to start changing mine also but i found a local shop near my work that will instal and balance my new tires and get rid of the old ones for $35.00. Can't beat that in my area.

If you tried to do the vmax tires you could use a static balancer. Some guys swear by them.

Just a thought but when i first pick up my max it would stall out when hot sometimes. It ended up being a corroded electrical connection that came from the rectifier causing poor battery charging. I guess it would be good to check anyways.

When i saw this it made me laugh. Have fun and a great new year.

I sold my 2000 vmax about a year or so ago and I do miss it. Mostly the sound of the v4 and it's legendary status . But I don't miss the rest. If you do alot of two up riding you definitely made the right choice. Plus the FJR is a Yamaha so your still in the family. Have fun on your new bike.

Here's a crappy pic of what it would look like with the dual Delkevic carbon fiber cans. I'm glad to hear that your are still enjoying that bike. http://www.vmaxforum.net/album.php?albumid=712&pictureid=9305

That's awesome. I'm very jealous.

Welcome to the fourm. I did the same tail light mod. I also converted the rear red reflector to a brake led light. I got it from Walmart in the trailer section for cheap. It fits perfectly. Nice looking vmax.

I'm planning on riding down on Saturday morning for the ride and going back home in the evening.

I'm happy you are ok. That would be very scary. I'm an industrial maintenance electrician and the place I work is very big on arc falt/flash safety. We generally don't do any kind of energized work anymore. If we do then there is alot of paper work and you have to wear the proper safety suit...

The bike looks great.

This trip has been canceled. Thanks for everyone's help and input. This really is the best fourm.

Dman is right the 2000 vmaxes made the most stock power.

My first street bike was a 82 or 83 Maximum 650. Shaft drive and not to much power so it is a little forgiving. I'm sure there cheap. I paid $500.00 for a nice one about 20 years ago. Good luck.
