    Still a legend

    Yeah in 2035 there may be no fuel to run our internal combustion engines! I can see in the next 15 years some politician getting a hair up their ass to work on a ban for all the old, non-ZEV fuel burners on the road. When the V-Max is outlawed, only outlaws will ride V-Maxes!:punk:

    VMax Horsepower

    Yamaha rated the engine at 145hp for the normal US v-boost installed bikes. As others have have said, 112-115 is normal at the wheel for stock bikes, 120 is feasible with pipe and tune. I made 121 with Mark's exhaust and drop in K&N filter. You can say 145hp without BSing...

    Can't shift from 2nd to neutral or first...

    If the gear selecter lever isn't on in the shift shaft in the correct position it will cause this problem. Sounds like this is your problem since you had to re-locate it so far. Remove the shift lever, move it down as far as you can and re-try it. I had this problem and discovered that I had...

    new mighty vac

    It shouldn't take that long. Are you sure that the master isn't running out of fluid and allowing air in? When I replaced my lines I used the Mityvac until I had a constant flow of fluid and then did the pump, hold and bleed technique using the lever about three times. Worked perfect. If the...

    Saddlebags

    I have a set of Firstgear bags on my bike. Looks good and were fairly inexpensive. The mounting straps go under the rear seat, but doesn't take very long to take them off if need be. I relocated the turn signals to the license plate frame with some DIY 'L' brackets. I made a saddle bag support...

    dual headlight mod

    Dont think that is a kit you can buy. Guy probably just got some lights like that and custom mounted them. PIAA makes lights like those. http://www.piaa.com/Lamps/Lamp-pages/2100.html

    They'll be close to $900! I can't imagine many will take that bite when you can get Works for the same or less. http://store.ricorshocks.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=27

    President Obama gets stuck in Ireland

    I bet someone in the Secret Service got their ass chewed out for not the checking the ground clearence on the exit of that place. Having the POTUS out in the open and stuck in one place is not very good for the security detail.

    my first harley ride

    I love to make fun of Harley's, but mostly it is because I am pissed that the 'American' motorcycle company produces such crap. Leader of the world material it is not. Plus, the attitudes of most Harley riders suck. I would love a 'real' American motorcycle, not some 50hp vibrating noise...

    HELP!!! Stock '04 carbs

    I would adjust the A/F first. If you can smell gas at idle, then this will work to correct that and may help correct your stumble. If this doesn't correct, then you can mess with changing jets, checking float levels etc. Start with the simple and easy, As many have said here, stay away from the...

    Avon Venom tire

    I actually love my rear Venom AM42. I think that it looks good, hooks great, offers okay wet traction, and lasts forever. My first one lasted 14,000 miles with fairly hard riding, and it rips the front wheel off the ground (w/o spinning) when I hit the throttle. The only down side that I see to...

    Ridley motorcycles

    When I first saw one of these at a bike night, I thought it was a Chinese knock off, like a Hyosung or something. Not impressed.

    What's up with these "neutered nakeds"?

    Good On Ya Brandon, Mississippi!!!

    I ride with the PGR and with the Westboro people you cant win. They'll sue the town of Brandon, the cops, Rankin county, the hotel, and anyone else they can and because of our legal system, they'll win, or at least settle for some crazy amount of money. Its how they fund their Hate parade. They...

    What's up with these "neutered nakeds"?

    The nakeds are more geared toward urban city riding where low end power is key. Yeah the 1000cc sportbikes make great power, at 14k RPMs. They tune the nakeds to create more power down low where they think that they customers will use it.
