Good Morning, I'd like to know if there's a way to program in the original mileage on the bike. Does your setup allow the original mileage as well as a tripometer function? That setup looks great by the way :) Thanks, Vinnie

Purely looks and sound. Many people put stuff on their bikes due to looks, without doing some research and seeing that their new 'accessory' is hurting performance. Lot's of cruiser guys do this also. They see what looks good, sounds good, and then 'gots to have it!' And louder stuff to so...

"HH or GG HH Pads These have the highest coefficient of Friction and are ideal for high-performance motorcycles and race track use. Some modern performance motorcycles specify HH as standard. HH Pads can sometimes prove grabby, scary in the wet and ineffective in every day use when they fail to...

I agree that thought goes into zoomies, but a street naturally aspirated motor with lots lower compression is very different from a blown motor like in that picture above, that's used for a more narrow RPM range. I don't think a zoomie system on our Vmax would be working out too well for hp and...

Dragster engines are not designed to have a nice flat torque curve and great midrange drivablity. They're desiged for pretty much a very very narrow window of RPM's (usually right at redline). And the open headers (Zoomies exhaust) that they use are for that very small RPM range only. There's a...

That tech has no idea what he's speaking about if he said 'the motor likes back pressure.' That's the whole thing right there with the straight pipes....... those pipes are making the motor work harder and reducing horsepower because they are causing the 'back pressure' in the exhaust pipes...

Yep, it's all about getting good air for sure,,,,,,,but very importantly keeping (at least some) of the airbox to help with the Helmholtz Resonator effect. Otherwise you're tossing the valuable power adding effects of the resonator pulses, and making the engine work harder to suck in air. I put...

Beautiful selection of bikes ya got there! I have my Gen 1 Vmax and my (and my brother's; shared) '04 ST1300. Usually not hard to make the decision to ride my Vmax, but on a longgggg ride or in the colder weather (or with a passenger), the ST is the chosen.

That's exactly what I use mine for! The fact that is expands up a bit when you undo the zipper is great. I keep water, some quick food and great for the lining in my jacket or my heated gloves (use them in the morn and then switch to summer weight later when it warms up (gotta always be prepared...

That bag is great. I have the same one. They make it look like a carbon fiber finish on the top. Fits the 1st gen also. Vinnie

*just throwing this in there really quick; the Vboost in stock configuration is not supposed to come on at 5250 as you've stated. It actually starts it's actuation at 5750 so that by 6000 rpm it's opening. And it does not fully open until 8000 rpm; V-Boost V-Boost is a system that opens...

Interesting........ My old Odyssey was weighing about 15 lbs. My new Deltran lithium weighed in at 1.9 lbs. So I guess some people may save less wieght on the battery change depending on what battery they were changing from and to what, but for me I saved around what I had stated (15lbs-1.9lbs =...

Light weight is all relative. I also ride a Honda ST1300. When I get off that bike and onto my Vmax, I feel like I'm riding a small nimble sporty bike :) Get a Gen 1, and add some cruiser accomodations and you'll be riding the king of the cruisers (and will weigh way less that a lot of the...

Thanks. I wrote to him again and will continue to do so. Hopefully he'll get back with me and I'll report back on what the status is. Vinnie

Has anyone heard from Tom at Cycle One-Off? I tried contacting him back in June and he sent me an invoice quickly for a part I wanted (rear shock caps for bungee holders). Back on June 11th I paid him via PayPal and have not heard back from him yet. I sent a couple of emails (and another one...

I believe they did the fork change in 2001. My bike (a 2001 model) has the forks like you show in the picture on the right side with the outside tube having a location for the fork tube protectors (those little plastic pieces that hug the lower fork tube and extend up 2" or so to protect the...

A strong magnet. I've done that before at work and I got it out with the really strong magnets we have here at work. Make sure it wiggles around in the hole using a small precision screwdriver or something, and when it does, just put the magnet against it to pull it out. Vinnie

Nice. I went to a Li Iron (not lithium 'ion') back in March of 2015. I've been using this same battery (Deltran from Battery Tender) for 5 years now without any kind of glitches and I ride year round. Never charge it on a battery tender or anything. Just ride it and forget it. The think weighs...

Yep, that sucks. I have polished ones (not chrome, but I also have those as well). I chose to run the polished because if they get anything on them, I can just polish it off.
