No flak from me - the Diavel is a very nice bike. Good luck with the new ride. Mike

So far so good, no issues with them. I also have one on the front of my max and I am satisfied with it. Mike

MY wife has the new Battlax T30 tires on the front & back of her bike and both tires have that line in them. Not sure why, but it must have to do with the manufacturing process. :confused2: Mike

That's just ****** up! If I was that biker, I would be in jail now. Mike

Very nice build indeed - great looking power cruiser! Mike

Saw this add on Kijiji and thought I would share. This stuff is pretty cool looking. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-motorcycle-parts-accessories/hamilton/vmax-parts-to-create-man-cave-stuff-new-pictures/1064556447?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Mike

I too, did the same thing about 16 years ago. After building a few Harleys and always trying to get more power and speed, I decided to get a 96 Vmax and never looked back. Mike

The rubber center portion on 5 out of 6 dampers had separated from the outer steel sleeve, so those where pretty easy. Just used a sawzall and cut each outer sleeve in two places and they pretty much fell out. For the sixth damper, I put a steel rod through the brake rotor bolt hole to...

Got some parts back from powdercoater. Back wheel is done, just need to install bearings/seals and dampers and new tire. Also a bunch of other pieces to black out the bike. I will post pictures once the bike is back together. Mike

I have had a few different windshield over the years. Now have a Memphis Shade Hell Cat for touring and an MRA Speed for daily riding. Mike

Just bought a DigiSync tool, but haven't used it yet. Looks like a great quality tool. Was using a Motion Pro Syncpro and hated that thing - piece of crap. Mike

Thanks Brian and I will that in mind. We do need to meet up this summer, it's been too long. Looking forward to seeing you and redbone again. Mike

The dealers explanation was all ********. 111.99 Yen - 1 USD 1 USD - $0.765 Cdn dollar So a bearing selling for $25.85 in the US - should be selling for $33.77 in Canada - so why is it up charged to $45.00 Cdn - because they can, I guess Mike

This has always been the case, and not just Yamaha, pretty much any manufacturer, auto, recreational, etc... I have argued with the local dealer here and they say it's because of the exchange rate from Yen to Canadian versus Yen to US is why the difference. Just bought a rear wheel...

1972 Volkswagen micro bus - love that van Mike

I'm not the selling the engine, but saw this ad on kijiji and thought I would post it incase somebody would be interested http://www.kijiji.ca/v-motorcycle-parts-accessories/ottawa/yamaha-vmax-1700-engine-in-crate/1145941384?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Mike

I would be interested in exploring this further. The only other carbon red that I would interested in would be one with more black in the weave pattern. The idea that I have is to have the red carbon on the front/back fender, tank side panels, air box cover, tack shroud, chin spoiler and...

Sean, that is eXactly what I am looking for.

Thanks again for all the opinions. I have looked on ebay for replacement fenders and air box covers, but with the current us/cdn dollar exchange, the prices increase quickly. Exchange is between $.35/$.40 to the us dollar. My pieces are in decent condition, but not perfect after...

I have also added some red accents, but still think that it is time for a change. The red accents will stay though.
