    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Got the front blinkers swapped out. And the cbr tail light installed. Ignore the mismatched clutch lever, having to modify (fix) the aftermarket one, crappy Chinese quality.

    Carb leak question

    I cleaned the area up last night, and removed the drain screw. I'm going to replace the oring anyway, since that's an easy fix, but couldn't start the bike last night to check for a leak (Had a sleeping 10 month old). Won't be able to look at it again until friday, but I'll update this thread...

    Carb leak question

    I should have done that before hand. I will clean up the area and run the bike and see if I can see the leak.

    Carb leak question

    I spotted a leak after the bike sat overnight, noticed a spot on the floor. At first I thought it was an oil leak, but it's definitely gas, my whole garage smells of gas today. It was only a few drops actually on the ground, but I then noticed that there is a film all over the left side of...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Yesterday I finally got around to syncing my carbs. Oh man, what a difference. 1&2 where pretty close, but low. 3&4 were WAY off. Feels like a brand new bike. Also changed the fuel filter, glad I did, the old one was nasty. Next on the list is the CBR tail light mod w/ intergrated...

    "Opening up" supertrapp open end caps"

    I'm running open end caps on my supertrapps. It's loud for sure, but honestly, the sound is pushed away from the rider. It's much louder for people behind me. I don't know the difference myself, I put the open caps on the moment I installed the trapps.

    Bill O'Reilly Nails It

    Bill O'Reilly is an idiot 80% of the time, but he's right here. Bill is a huge establishment Repub, his best buddy is Chris Christie for crying out loud.

    Anyone used these springs?

    My hwy pegs came with the bike when I bought it. So I couldn't tell ya ha. I believe that lowering the bike a little, .5 rear and 1in front just increases the handling of the bike. Since I did everything at once, I couldn't tell you from my experience if it actually helped. I just know that...

    Anyone used these springs?

    I've got the 444s 12.5in (1/2 inch lower than stock), Sean's frame braces, progressive fork springs with 1in lowering kit, and 170 rear tire, and I can tell you that it's well worth the money. It's a completely different bike. Here's a pic of the frame brace. That's installed on my bike...

    Kawasaki Z1000

    Kawasaki engines are very reliable, I've owned several and have never had an issue. Ive always wanted a z1000, might still add one to the stable, eventually.

    300hp Kawasaki

    The pic is of the H2R, I think it looks pretty bad. Maybe the street legal H2 will be toned down (looks wise).

    New to me yota truck already crashed.

    That sucks. People just can't drive. A co-worker just bought a brand new tacoma, 3 days later some old man rear ended him at a red light. The Tacoma took it like a champ, but the other car ( I think it was a Chrysler 200) looked totaled.

    Would you buy a GM today?

    All I have to say about Mazda is that they will screw you out of your warranty any way they can. If you change your own oil, voided warranty! I had a Mazda Mazdaspeed 3. Had to use the warranty twice, once for the stereo, once for a bad shock. Both times it was a pain in the butt. My...

    rear shocks

    I got the 444s and love them... Night and day difference over stock. Although, anything is better than the stock shocks.

    2015 Goldwing early release spotted

    Haha, no. It had some different wheels on it. He robbed them for another VW bug. Threw those on there just to push it around.

    2015 Goldwing early release spotted

    Here in MS, if it has wheels, blinkers, brake lights, head lights, it can pass inspection. We see a lot of weird **** running around. For example... My friend built this: We named it Nader's Nightmare, after Ralph Nader's campaign to kill the VW beetle. We built it for less than...
