I kept in touch with him for a while but eventually he stopped responding. Unfortunately I expect the worse. He was one of the good guys for sure.

Pictures didn’t do that paint job justice. Even in the sunlight it has to be seen to really appreciate it.

Well stating the obvious it belongs in an FJR forum.

Float height is critical to good performing carbs. As Sean pointed out accuracy is important. The only way to know is to wet check them.

Even though the rim is larger the overall size is smaller due to the much smaller sidewalls of a radial tire. So yes higher rpm and …..better acceleration. My opinion, not many of us play around at 140 very long but we do whack it as often as we can so for me acceleration trumps top speed.

I ran metzler me 888 for many years. Plenty of grip and tire life. If I had not converted to radials I'd sill be running them.

I have been using an older version of that bag for 11 years and it’s still going strong. I wouldn’t hesitate to get another one.

My advice is contact Sean Morley and for pretty short money get one of his upgraded brake kits. The most noticeable in the saddle upgrade you can bolt on. (Not including nitrous of course lol

Absolutely [email protected] He doesn’t respond particularly quickly but be patient and he will get to you. I would not run any other exhaust on my Vmax. I have a 4 into 2 with 12”cans 3.5” outlet no down turn. My best brother Steve o has 14” cans same openings no down turn. You gotta...

Haven't you all figured out that if you ignore the trolls they will disappear?

In first gear without a slipper clutch it’s possible your rear tire is locking up a bit and causing the shudder and shimmy.

I converted to the sumitomo 6 pots and can not recommend it enough. It doesn’t stop like my gsxr but it’s a massive improvement over the stock setup.

Thank you Kyle. It’s been quite the road to recovery for both myself and my bike. I am stoked to get that gorgeous body work back on the bike and go for a rip. As long as I’m shouting out I have to include Sean and Steve-O without whom my bike would still be in pieces.

I like the sound of the super traps best. However unlike most who seem to focus on how our bikes sound at idle I prefer to gauge the exhaust note at wide open throttle ripping past 7000 rpm. That’s the sound that gets me.

This is what makes this group so special.

Maybe grandma sue is letting you know how she feels about leaving you money for an automobile and instead you get a motor bike.

Terry I hate to point out the obvious but this is a Yamaha Vmax forum. You might have better luck on a virago forum.

That motor is beautiful. I’m looking forward to hearing about your first ride.

I got hit by a pickup on may 23. My Vmax is not pretty but fixable. I sent all the bodywork to Kyle. In fact he should be receiving it today. I can’t wait to get the Capt. Kyle paintwork Treatment. He posted some bodywork he painted a few years ago in candy brandywine. That’s going to be...
