That looks like an item you have to see in person to decide. Key is how heavy gauge is the steel. Would think for short trips only. Reminds me of a miniature spare tire compared to the real thing.

Wow, I never imagined so many remarks about gas additives. It is 6 of one and half dozen of another. Some additives appear to be "hotter" than others, some are more expensive than others, some you question the effect on rubber, others you question the effect on the problem. I guess I...

What is the recommended amt of it in a tankfull for a good cleaning? What do you put in?

SOld my 98 with 10k miles, avg. condition, for $4,200 in April.

Good luck! Hope all the work fixed it.

Great score! Let us have a review in a week. Congrats!

Looking for an album, it's not easy. Hoping someone can post a link to it. Thanks

Amen brother to the automatic!

I saw your work and had this observation: spraying the foam in and on the location results in a randomness in the foam which can lead to air bubbles and vacancies in it. I had this idea: Completely cover the area to be foamed with plastic sheeting and duck tape to seal. Leave extra material...

A previous owner told me these two things. First, the throttle is really tight, ie, not as easy to turn like most. Second, the automatic takes away the ability to use the clutch going around corners and such. He said if he had to do it over again, he would choose a Honda st1300 instead, as...

Have seen that method on YouTube. That is expandable insulation foam from a can? After dry you carve a cast?

Pictures I've seen, the left side does not have a gear changer. Guess it is automatic, some of those on craigslist say they are automatic. Noticed the placement of the seat and driver foot peg are really close. That situation puts one's knees higher in the air and more bent and to me less...

I am so sorry for your loss but glad you are OK with no fractures, pulls or strains. Never in a moment would have thought caution was needed when filling up. He was talking or texting on his cellphone I bet. Sorry your 10 year record fell today. Remain vigilant and careful, all of us.

Nice story, keep 'em coming. Thanks.

That is a very good idea about the aluminum sheet metal and rivets, thanks. Just gathering info right now. But if this comes to anything, I will show all you'all what I have done. Keep the ideas coming.

Looking for comments from experienced members about this type of fabrication. Don't know a thing about it myself but want to learn. Let's say a plastic seat base needed some fabrication, maybe an extension or something. What would you fabricate with and how would you attach to the existing...

Looking for comments about the FJR vs. the Vmax. Comparisons: Price value, speed, comfort in the saddle on trips, gas mileage, anything else. Never been on one, know nothing about them. What you say?

I had that problem with my first vmax, a 98, on cylinder 3. It did not fire at idle but did with any throttle. The pilot jet, af screw was seized and there was a blockage not allowing fuel in for the idle. With throttle the cylinder got gas. This is a dangerous situation. Do you get a jump when...

Things sometimes go as planned, maybe it is a 50/50 proposition. I have read on this forum about putting wider handlebars on for better control but some have the same issue you have, too short clutch or brake lines.

Glad you are ok, could have been worse. Happened to me too in January on my first vmax, a black 98. Gave it gas on gravel with my front tire turned. Down hard, sprained left knee, had to replace stator cover, broke a windshield just put on brand new an hour earlier. Now it is April and I still...
