By the way Bushwacker, you're right in my neighborhood! A longtime friend of mine just picked up his first Max (1995) we should hang for a ride sometime!

Just found out that my VMAX mechanic Ron Hopkins is now working for Vicious Cycle 8828 SE Division Street Portland OR 97266 (503) 285-8824 He does not have his dyno anymore but you can't find a better VMAX mechanic around the Portland / Clackamas area.

What? Really, I guess as an old fart, I'm an exception. Bought my 85 brand new and it's seen 150+ many times! After a jetting, airbox mods, supertrapps and a great dyno tune, I can pull about 162 at a bit over 10k.

A21 is for real and it is in place in over half the counties and cities in almost every state in the union. The UN is far from harmless and definitely not indifferent to the US. They would love to see the US comply with A21, and surprise! WE ARE! Look into ICLIE, this is the organization that...

Thanks for the welcome in! This is by far the best forum on the max. I paid 152.00 for the new shoe. I’ve gone thru several front tires and right now I have a Dunlop 591 on it and I’ve run 525’s. I tried the bridgestone, the Metzeler and a conti so I think the next one will be the Avon AM26, so...

I?ve been a ?lurker? on this forum a few months soaking up all the good info, so thanks to everyone for that. I decided to try the AVON 170/80/15 and was fully prepared to do the washer swap, but it was totally unnecessary. The tire slid right in and on the shaft side the clearance is .220 (for...
