    '97 w/28k for, wait for it...

    Isn’t the title for the frame basically? Does the motor have the VIN stamped on it somewhere?

    Front Brake

    Stuck caliper and/or degrading brake line. Mine did the same thing. Take caliper apart and clean piston really good. Then replace brake lines. I prefer steel braided but OEM will work too. Rubber brake lines can deteriorate on the inside and not let fluid release when you release the lever. I...

    Upgrade front breaks

    Thanks desert_max!! $400 for the calipers and mounting hardware is not too bad. I did install steel braided lines already which helped a lot.

    Mines an 86 also. Was there a pot of fabrication to do to get the 6 pot calipers mounted?

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    I pulled her out of the garage and noticed something sticking out of the side right where the drive shaft goes into the transmission. I realized it is the spring “clamp” that goes around the dust cover boot. Anyone have any ideas to get it back on? There is absolutely no room to get a hand in...

    Hitting the strip...

    I haven’t been on the strip since about 1988. I live about 15 minutes from Edgewater Raceway Park in Cleves, Ohio (suburb of Cincinnati). Best I ran on my stock ‘86 was mid-11’s at 119. No speed shifting and probably short shifting a little. I couldn’t afford to blow it up at the time (just out...

    Hitting the strip...

    Nice job at the strip. Are you in Tulsa? What did the magazines get when they ran the Gen 2 in the 1/4 mile?

    Motorycle For Sale burgundy 85 needs work

    Agreed. I’d rather see it on the road than parted out. I have about $2,000 in mine to get it road worthy and it didn’t run for 11-12 years. Fortunately the motor and trans were fine and I was able to do some work myself. Biggest expense was carb rebuild but Dannymax’s work is well worth it. My...
