I wired my red wire to a 30 amp fuse and hooked it directly to the positive battery terminal. I also cut the end of the black wire, soldered a black extension on it and wired it directly to the case ground where the negative battery ground goes which is by the right foot peg. Dis it ever...

I am going to try and match the frame to the red stripes on the faux tank. I think it will look pretty sharp. I do want to do the busa calipers as well but that might be a lot of work

I work I new and old substations all the time and can attest to how bad the ground can be. We got a 60 foot genie manlift stuck right up to the axels in mud and had to pull it out with a cat

This winter i am planning on pulling the bike apart down to the frame and painting the engine black and powder coating the frame a nice candy red, next winter i plan on sending the motor to Sean and letting him have some fun with it, i am thinking a 1300 build but i will see what funds permit...

Wow. Didn't even notice that before. Doesn't surprise me that much. The bike was abused and not maintained very well by the previous owner

Figured i would post some pics of my ride from when i got her till now. got a bunch more plans for it, just waiting on parts and funds. This is when i first got her This is what it looks like now, minus the muscle seat i just put on and a bunch of other parts i got coming from Sean and...

yeah i figured if it was only 20 buck or so then its worth doing, from what i am seeing it is a lot more then that. i went and looked tonight and found that the drain valve was in the wrong position, i turned it to the right position and started it up and now when the fan kicks in the temp does...

I am seeing the other number on the 85 blow up. I might have read it backwards and the 99999 number might have been replaced

Re: Coloure of the 1985 V-max My 85 has been painted, however under the faux tank it is a maroon colour

There it is, i was looking in the wrong spot, and so was he, i am not sure its bad, however i figured if the price was good i would just replace it anyways, my bike gets pretty close to the red in stop and go traffic. from what i am seeing the part number 11H-12410-01-00 has been replaced by...

I have been looking at the parts blow up and i cant seem to see where the thermostat is, anybody have a part number or can point out where it is, i talked to the dealer and they couldn't see it either and tried telling me there isn't one.

Looks like i am going to have to do this to my 85, and i just got the carbs all put back on the bike and running good, oh well at least it will be done and shouldn't have to do it again, i might actually use your idea of painting it (or even powder coating it) red!

It's just To bad that the government is stepping in and going to force them back at a lot less then they where fighting for

Oh I know. It's my fault my parts are stuck anyways. I should have saw this coming and got everything sent another way. Hopefully it will be over sooner then later as from what I hear it has been affecting a lot of small businesses around Canada who rely on the postal service

Just curious if anyone else has been affected by the strike going on here in Canada, i know i have 4 packages stuck at the boarder, one of which is my busa brakes and lines coming from Sean along with a master cylinder, which means my bike is un ridable until it gets here. i have also been...

I ordered a kit from a guy on eBay. Came with all the instructions, glass, and new screws for the cover for less then $20. I will dig up the eBay page but if you just do a search you should be able to find it

Just made some changes to the spreadsheet, thanks to maxmidnight for the suggestions, hope it works out well.

this is all great stuff guys, i was thinking about getting a second frame to powder coat and transfer everything over, its a good thing i read this before i did it as i didnt even think about being able to register it afterwards, just another reason vmaxforum.net ROCKS!:punk:

I have been asked a couple times what size resistors to use when converting to LED signals or other after market signals, so i created a spread sheet to calculate it for you, all you need to do is measure the resistance of your oem signals and your new signals and punch it in, it then tells you...

just figured i would also explain this a little more, the flasher likes to see low resistance which is set up for the resistance of the oem bulbs, when after market bulbs are put on then that increases the resistance (Especially if LEDs are installed) the only way to fix this is with a flash...
