    Just Purchased, 05 VMax issues

    The screws are easily stripped. That one looks like it has been stripped. It can be a real problem getting out. There is a lot of info on repairing. Common problem. Just do a search.

    2.5-3" front rim that fits the 1st Gen Max

    A 120/70-18 is the usual 120 used on the stock wheel. Many use it but it is not recommended. A 120/90 is not a size I am familiar with but would be much larger I believe. :confused2:

    Best Stock Seat Mod?

    Made my own turn signal bracket. Very easy. Any straight stock bent and drilled. Plate holder is stock. Just added a lockable little box between plate and bracket for ins card, etc. I have a set of Nelson-Rigg soft saddlebags that are great. I just want hard bags for security on trips. Will...

    Best Stock Seat Mod?

    After trying every rack/backrest option ever offered (Renn-Tech, HAC, OEM, Five-Star, MEK, Virago short backrest, etc, can't remember them all), this setup works best for me. The rack is big enough to fit the Givi trunk bracket and the large tail bag and is flush with the stock grab bar. That...

    coolant

    Flush first then get a coolant with no silicates or phosphates designed for aluminum engine and use 50/50 ratio with distilled water. Download manual for instructions on the little knob position in front for draining, refilling. I also changed out my thermostat and all degradable parts. (Drain...

    Carbon Build up and Compression

    Kerosene is a good all around cleaner. I used to use it to clean chains. Didn't damage the O-rings.

    One fast car!

    Only takes one person to change lanes and there would be bodies everywhere. Especially the bikers... That said, I used to do the same thing just the bikes were slower. The fastest bikes during my stupid days were under 160 mph.

    Best Stock Seat Mod?

    That is the new version. The old version has a flap on the passenger portion instead of a plug in the middle. Plus the old version was difficult to gas up, especially when they went to the gas hoses with the large rubber housings/covers. That is probably why they changed the design. The backrest...

    Wonder if it is one of those European market bikes with 100 hp limit?

    Best Stock Seat Mod?

    If you get the second gen version of the Corbin you can use a tail bag on the passenger seat and still gas up. I have had both Corbin V-Max versions and a SportMax. I personally cannot stand the cut down seats. They force you into one position and my private area was in pain within 80 miles...

    Has anyone tried this? Would you recommend it?

    I had a factory option gel seat on a previous bike and it was HOT in the Texas sun. I put a sheepskin pad on in the spring/summer/fall and it was fine after that. The sheepskin also considerable reduced sweating and "monkey butt". Won't be getting a gel seat again unless someone figures out a...

    Axle Nut

    Harley shops will have them also. Just take nut or measurements to get the right size.

    This boggles the mind.......

    Article said "The University of Calgary said de Grood graduated in 2013 with a bachelor's degree majoring in psychology and a minor in law and society." And also said he came to the party after leaving his shift at the grocery store. After graduating with that degree and having to work in a...

    How many yellow MAX's made?

    I actually had a complete new 94 set including all new emblems, decals and rubber trim. It was one of the 4 sets I had at one time. A 94 yellow, 97 silver, chrome and my custom paint set. Have sold all but my custom set due to financial concerns... :bang head:

    Heat Shields?

    I've been using real sheepskin covers for years in the summer and on long trips. I sewed Velcro in five places (two on each side and one in front) and riveted the opposite pieces to the underside of my Corbin seat. Takes just a couple minutes to install / remove. None of the hardware is visible...
