I'm going with Fatmax hardbags and rather than relocating the stock turn signals, I want to use Rizoma zero 11 led units installed on the black plastic portion of the rear fender next to the taillight. Anyone tried this or know whether they will fit? I wasn't able to find dimensions, other than...

Thanks for the help. I'm probably going to order the stuff early August. I'm looking at a 4 gallon tank that is 8" dia. by 14" long and putting it in a suitable gear bag and hopefully avoid the beer keg look. I will post up photos of the finished product. Jack.

I'm probably going the Tourtank route for a bigger gas capacity and can't find the size of fuel hose to order for my 04? Tried searching the various forums, Google etc. Thanks. Jack.

Does this sound like it could be an ECU issue?

The air filter is the one you get with the Morley jet kit, has very few miles and seems to be in pristene condition. I am going to investigate the business of crud in the tank and or a clogged fuel filter. I appreciate the responses and please keep them coming. This thing has taken on a life of...

My '04 has 19,000 miles, a full Mark's exhaust and Morley jet kit installed 2 years ago. For the last several months the bike has refused to idle and has a serious miss/hiccup between 3000 and 3500. It runs fine at full throttle, but around town hesistates and stumbles under 4000. We removed...

Thanks for the replys. His opinion was that cruiser style bikes are inherinetly more likely to have this occur, I assume beacuse of the proximity of the bags to the rear wheel. I suppose some of this could have been the result of a lawsuit if someone went after his company for selling soft bags...

I had a long conversation with a vendor who only sells soft luggage and he maintains that using soft side bags on the VMax is incredibly unsafe. He says the possibility of the bags shifting and getting thrown into the rear wheel area make them in his opinion really unsafe. We discussed using...

Thanks Tony G, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm looking at the HAC products and wondered what the opinions here are on the best way to go for an '04 and get a rack and backrest combination? Thanks. Jack.

Does anyone know if this combination presents any clearance issues? Thanks. Jack.

Mike, did you have ay problems with switching over from the main tank to the Tour Tank or fuel flow issues when cornering? I appreciate the responses here, as I'm very interested in this as a much cheaper, less invasive approach to increasing the bikes range.

Is anyone on the Forum using one of these to increase gas capacity? I looked at their Website and my first blush response was, are these things any good and do they work as claimed? It looks like you would need a passenger sissybar/backrest to mount it against. I would like to go on trips on my...

Can I use any soft side bags,( Nelson Riggs, Tourmaster), with a Mark's Performance exhaust? I'm interested in a set up that ties the side bags to a tailbag as a unit, but am concerned with the clearance to the pipes. Any other advice/sugestions much appreciated. Thanks. Jack.

Got it. Thanks Sean. Jack.

I have been using a Puralator car oil filter on my '04 and my records were recently lost. Can someone tell me which part # automotive filter I might be talking about? It's a step up from their regular filter line and the outside is a dull yellow color and has a texture finish so you can grip it...

How long does it take to get your membership approved? I sent my $30 via Paypal a week ago and still waiting. Jack.

Thanks for the help with this. After reading the various takes on this, I will probably leave the tank alone and use the FJR for longer rides/trips. Jack.

Re: Easiest way to put it on the centrestand My FJR which weight wise is almost identical to the Vmax, but sits higher, is much easier to centerstand.

This has probably addressed before, but I have a specific question that 'search' didn't reveal. Has anyone tried the Exactrep replacement tank? I't's pricey at $800, but I plan to keep my '04 and the short tank range has always been an issue. Any thoughts, plus or minus are much appreciated...
