    ABS flashing....

    When I did mine....the main brake light/running lights had their own OEM style connector. There were 2 individual wires that were for the turn signals. I cut the rear turn wires from the lights to wire those into the bike properly with the bikes connector. When I first did mine, I had resistors...

    ABS flashing....

    I believe the resistor is wired into the brake circuit. On my bike, the brake circuit was just one wire not two. The two wires were for the turn signals and those aren't integrated to the actual brake circuit from what I can see. As for what resistor is needed, I do not know. I will either...

    ABS flashing....

    The code is for an incorrect input from one of the brake light switches. Some have stated that a resistor has helped. Others said it didnt help their concern. While the flashing ABS light is a hassle.....the ABS will still function with the flashing ABS. Well, it does on mine in any case. I am...

    Gen 2 --- Asking for tires recommendations

    My bike spends about 80% of the time on the interstates in my state. Thats also why I am over 50,000 miles on my bike. I am 40 miles from any which way to civilization and its all 70mph plus. Thats why I dont trust those Shinkos at all. It was the only time I ever hated the bike because of those...

    Gen 2 --- Asking for tires recommendations

    Let me clarify that the problem is with the front tire, not the rear. I had 2 back to back front tires have very dangerous wobbles. The first one anything above 40, started with a vibration. Into 70mph territory, handlebars had a tank slap motion to them. After 500 miles, I contacted the company...

    30” inseam, lowering

    Morleys Seat for the Gen 2 lowers the ride height an inch or so. I am 6ft tall. I can feel the pinch up in my knees when riding due to it being shorter. Might wanna talk to him about the reshape on the front seat if you already havent done so. And I have ridden out to him, swapped the seat and...

    Gen 2 --- Asking for tires recommendations

    I dont think no one has gone through as many tires on the Gen 2 as I have. Granted, I have a stock tire on the back of mine. I have ran Metzlers, Shinkos, Dunlops, and Bridgestones. By and large, Shinkos were the worst, especially the front. Metzler seemed to be the best in terms of longevity...

    Vmax 1200 pricing

    I would think that a low VIN 1985 in showroom condition with low miles would command some money. Maybe an original 1994 Yellow in showroom condition with low miles or a 2005 Anniversary Edition either on the low end of badging or maybe the last 5 on the badging. And these are maybes. Market...

    What is the cost for something like this?

    Mileage Log.

    This is a special mileage capture. Approximately 10 miles from The New Mexico state line in Texas on Interstate 40. The mileage isnt why this is a special mileage capture. This mileage capture was done because of a trip to Derby Kansas. Those who know this town know who lives here. I met...

    Hi everyone! - Production numbers

    I can't offer up any real production numbers. I can tell you though I have one of the first of the Gen 2. 2009 with the last 4 of the VIN being 0182 production date of 09/08

    Right side turn signals stopped working, Gen 2

    Do you have an integrated rear brake light? Did you run resistors anywhere? When I first went to scoop halos and integrated rear light, I didnt get the correct turn relay. I began losing my right turns as well due to me having my resistor in the right scoop. The right scoop houses the coolant...

    Right side turn signals stopped working, Gen 2

    Is everything stock? Are we to presume all exterior lighting is good?

    gear indicator

    My 1982 Virago was horrible with RPMs at highway speeds and when I moved to New Mexico, got even worse cause the interstate speed was 75. The Seca has an 18" wheel over the Viragos 16" wheel. That alone dropped my RPM by 500. Research of the time showed that all the differentials of those era...

    Vista Cruise throttle lock

    The first batch of pics were for the Gen 1. These 2 are Gen 2 Brake Away. Front and back to get kind of an idea how it is.

    Vista Cruise throttle lock

    Fair enough. I had end bar mirrors that I removed. I was told by the company that modifying the one grip will move the unit in further giving more room. I did not do this with mine so I cannot offer you any words to tell you how effective this is. I recall the Vista Cruise on my Virago to be...

    Vista Cruise throttle lock

    An alternative but pricey......Brake Away Throttle lock. This is the Gen 1. The Gen 2 is a bit cleaner and has the arm like the Vista Cruise locks have but the arm is much thinner.

    Soleniod issue

    Side stand, neutral, and clutch switches are what I would be jumping together. One by one of course.

    Passenger pegs

    There is a passenger peg relocation kit. I cannot recall who sells them and I am sure someone else will chime in with that information. Couple hundred bucks if I remember. Moves em down and forward. The women I have on my bike appreciate the relocated passenger pegs.
