    My fork seal saga continues...

    Glad to hear it. If you haven't already put the new seals on, do it just like Sean does and not what the manuals say. I put a little dab of grease on the inside of the seal to help it slide on, and now I get a little ring on my forks that looks like its leaking. Drives me nuts. Just put...

    My fork seal saga continues...

    I thought the same thing when the impact wasn't working. I went forward and reverse with it over and over with no luck. I actually took that side out of the trees, and put it in a vise and then used an allen socket with the torque wrench. With the spring in the tube and tightend down, it came...

    My fork seal saga continues...

    When I lowered my forks internally, I couldn't get one side to come out. I hammered on it over and over with the impact with no luck. I then put the spring back in and tightened down, then just used an allen and torque wrench, broke it loose first turn. I think Ninjaneer is right, you should...

    I'm in Columbia MO and I took one side of the fork with me to the local Ace hardware store. They had all the parts I needed to make a driver.

    Lake of the Ozarks BikeFest

    My brother and some buddies and I will leave out of Columbia early Saturday morning to head down. Staying at my mother in laws that night and heading home on Sunday. If anyone wants to do a great ride Sunday morning, let me know. We are taking a real roundabout way home that will take us on...

    Oil pressure dropping

    Thanks everyone for the input. I am going to change the exhaust this off season, so I'll go ahead and drop the pan to look at the o ring then.

    Oil pressure dropping

    Gotcha. What sucks is I have a water pump mounted gauge, so looking down at it while really getting on it is somewhat tricky. If my o ring has started to pop out, would this cause the pressures to suddenly be lower than before? Sorry, don't have any experience with this.

    Oil pressure dropping

    Don't know what "seeing it get to the bypass" means. How do I do that?

    Oil pressure dropping

    I only have a couple thousand miles on the oil in it. What difference would that make in regards to the pressure? Here are some pics of the newest add on. Since I had lowered the bike 2", I was worried about larger vehicles being able to see me stopping. The license plate housing is angled...

    Oil pressure dropping

    Hey all, I put on one of the COO pressure gauges earlier this year. The bike was running between 8-9 psi per 1000 rpm. Today, went for a ride and noticed was only getting between 6-7 per 1000. Is this something to worry about? It was hot as hell here today, above 100, and I was riding around in...

    Forward Controls

    No, I got the one's that Jedi makes. Sean Morley was carrying them. Here's a link showing some of his stuff. http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=13860&highlight=jedi I also got his polished velocity stacks.

    Forward Controls

    Do you have crash bars with highway pegs now? If not, you may try that first. When I got the Max, I thought I wanted forwards as well. Tried the pegs first, and now am used to it. Much cheaper and gives you options while riding.

    Lake of the Ozarks BikeFest

    I'll probably head down. Only about an hour from me. It will definitely be a Harley heavy event. There are some really good back roads to ride down through the national forest just outside the Lake area.

    front suspension

    I got the Progressive 430's for the rear. Alot of people go with the 440's, but I liked the look of the 430's better. Got mine through Sean Morley here on the site. I went with 11.5" for the rear and lowered the front 2" internally with progressive springs there as well. Love the way it sits...

    Good guy alert...

    +1 on the Sean love fest. He puts up with alot of emails about the most mundane questions (from me) and never fails to provide a quick answer. I buy everything I can from him. As soon as riding season's over, I'm going to be getting his Muscle jet kit.

    Bright Gauge's Remedy (color change)

    Vmax06fan, which leds did you use for the speedo? If it was the HP3's you might try the 74x or 74HP instead. I used the 74x and it's a nice soft glow that doesn't seem to wash out the numbers. Just a thought.
