+1 on the SV650. Honda had a nice naked 600 too for awhile (I think they called it the 599). If he is looking for something a little more 'cruiser' I would recommend a Honda Nighthawk or Shadow. You should be able to score any of these bikes around your price range if you look around and be patient.

Think being in a wheelchair would prevent you from riding? Think again! Saw this today in Soldier IA.

I had an Autometer shift light hooked up to mine for awhile and had to play around with the RPM pills and number of cylinders setting. The ignition pulse, trigger points or whatever else is different and wont work with the standard automotive style install. I think I went with the 6 or 8...

Mark, are you planning on going to Wichita for the show? I dont think that I or the Dinks are going. We were going to find a ride through the Flint Hills.

My Carbon can from Mario came in an HMF box and he told me that's who made it. No markings or badging on it. My can looked identical to the one posted by Ramalama. It wouldn't hurt anything to run without a can, except your ears and maybe wallet if you get busted by the cops. You would probably...

I like both the Diavel and 2nd Gen Max. I think the Diavel is better looking, it will certainly handle better, and would probably be the better all around day to day motorcycle. If I had my heart set on one or the other and I was writing the check, it would be the Diavel (or more than likely...

I own a 2010 Mazda 6 that has the 'Advanced Keyless Entry' system that uses no key to open the doors or start the car, just a fob. I can't speak for other cars but the range on this is about 4 feet for whatever you are trying to use/open. Any further than that and it won't work. Like most...

I bought a Garmin GPS awhile ago and finally got around to buying a mount for the V-Max. I picked one up from http://www.mountguys.com/. So far I am fairly impressed. The GPS unit is held in there quite well, and the reviews on the product that I have been able to find state that there were no...

That the 1985 models delivered more HP is an olds wives tale. I believe it originated due to the performance of a few 1985 models Yamaha 'massaged' and provided to various journalists for riding and testing (including 1/4 mile track time). These first year models performed better than later...

I just started using Wizard's Bike Wash. Works really well to clean up hard to reach areas that get dirty or greasy. Just spray a little on and then hose off. It was always a pain to clean the front wheels within the rotor area, trying to get a sponge in to wash, and a towel to dry. This stuff...

Yep, stock seat is gone and sold. Put two hundred miles on the corbin a few weekends ago and its all good. I reserved a room at a holiday inn in Osage Beach for that fri and sat. only 109 per night. My friend Ed and I will be leaving Omaha on that Friday morning. If any of you guys make it...

I've never been down there, but other local V-max folk have gone in years past and really liked it.

http://www.lakeoftheozarksbikefest.com/ If anyone is interested or planning on going let me know. Would like to meet up with some fellow V-Max riders there.

Its only a matter of time before the Gov't passes a mandate that ALL vehicles on the road must be ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle). I could also see our Gov't placing restrictions on HP once they get wind of the 1000cc sportbikes pushing 200hp.

$425? Thats a lot of beer and hookers! Why did you go with these over other, less expensive lights?

I adjusted the valves on mine this winter. All the intake valves decreased in tolerance, some quite a bit. The exhaust all tended to be close to spec or just a tad tight.

I have seen them on E-bay go for around $100-$150. I picked up a set from Sean about two years ago for $75.00

I have a factory clutch spring from my 2003 with about 20,000 miles that I can send to someone for free if wanted for the DD clutch mod. I replaced it with the PCW kit. If you want it PM me your address and I'll send it out.

First, 2003 came with matte black with silver stripes, not the faux carbon fiber. Either you have the body parts from the 1999-2002, or you are mistaken about the year of your bike. Second, if you truly want the sound of a 'Hardley' I would recommend going to your garage, pick up the biggest...
