    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    That's all I expect out of it. My windshield is 2 inches from my eyeballs and thats enough for me, but I'm sure its very nice to cruise with. I will absolutely keep e-bay in mind, good heads up on that.

    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    As an update, I may have something worked out on the backrest towards some credit with Morley's Muscle which I'd apply towards Supertrapps. The windscreen isn't something Sean is after. I have a grab-rail at a fair price locally I'm going to take. So, if somebody is interested in that...

    I'll keep you posted, but I'm not really looking for chrome, or flat back, just the stock satin finish.

    Now if you only had need for an OEM backrest and windscreen and had both the grab rail and Super-trapps for trade...

    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    That's exactly what I'm looking to replace my OE backrest with, the stock grab-rail. I'll have to go poking around for some clips of the Jardine's/Holeshots. I'm really pretty sold on the open capped Supertrap sound, as far as slip-on's go. I want loud, but still deep, not open header cackle.

    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    I'll jump on Facebook tonight and give them a look. Have you heard them running? That's more important to me, the tone over the look. As far as slip-on's I've heard so far, I like the Supertrapp w/o any endcaps or disks sound, deep and loud. There is a clip in the exhaust forum of the...

    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    Well, I have chatted with the wifey, she's pretty sure she's not interested in climbing on board Mr. Max, which is just fine with both of us. So, it looks like I'm in search of a stock grab-rail and a slip-on (no cash for the header, yet) exhaust. If anybody is interested in some form of a...

    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    Right, I follow that. The Virago grab rail is my option if I plan to keep the back-rest for the occasional 2up ride. I know I'll need regular Vmax grab-bar if I take the sissy-bar setup off. We'll see what happens, won't know till she gives it a try. Here's what I picked up:

    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    I think this one fall in the middle, its not perfect, but its not terrible. It may make the most sense to just do the Virago grab rail to keep the backrest option there - of course if I find a trade for an exhaust, its going to be hard to turn it down. I figured the windshield was valueless...

    New (to me) Vmax, some parts to come off. OEM Backrest value? Windscreen value?

    I've just purchased an '02 Vmax in excellent shape, can't wait for the weather to break to get out there. I'm already contemplating changes and what I'll do with it. The bike has a OEM backrest, and I'm wondering what it's worth. I was poking around the form and findings some people saying...

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    Well, I'm official now, I just laid out the money on a VMax. Bought it at a local Harley shop of all places. 2002 Carbon Fiber, 19k miles, near stock, just has big windshield, back-rest, and highway pegs. The shield and back-rest will be going as soon as it gets home to my garage, I think...

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    Now that's the kinda stuff I'm looking for - a potential second gear issue - cause you can bet I'm not buying a Vmax to take it easy on.

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    Possibility. The local Stealership called me back today with a second offer on the '02 carbonfiber they have that is really almost too good to pass up. I did pass on it initially to see if I can squeeze them for a little bit better financing, if I could buy enough time I'd just buy it...

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    Definitely on my list of things to consider. I'm not thrilled with a 20 hour ride home on a bunch of boring toll roads. 20 hours of riding period is gonna be a big stretch for somebody thats been out of the saddle for a year with the exeception to a handful of weekends on the sportster...

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    Long ride home... but definitely worth considering - the '85 looks awesome - I'd need one hell of a bonus next month to get me to the asking price, plus airfare, fuel, and hotel on the ride home. And yet here I am calculating the ride home in my head already...

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    Yea, thats the one in Sandy Hook I'm considering, I have pictures from the owner that look pretty good. I didn't catch the one in Hudson valley, that real nice at 7k miles. Unfortunately, my choices will probably be driven largely by price, but that's not outside the realm of possibilities.

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    That's awesome. The bike is in Sandy Hook, CT, next to Dansbury. I smacked a deer monday night, so I'm in a holding pattern until the estimate on the car is done, then I'll know where I stand, I may circle back and take you up on that if I get ready to move on it in the next couple weeks.

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    That one has been gone for 2wks - I keep flagging it, but it won't get taken down for some reason. I was bummed that I missed that one. Next closest one right now is in Connecticut. There is one at the local Harley dealer as well, I'm not a big fan of the carbon-fiber paint, but its an 02 and...

    Vmax virgin looking to buy - what should I look (out) for?

    Hey guys. Cool forum, been lurking around and getting some ideas. I have had a few motorcycles over the past years, and plenty of two wheel time on dirt. I've been without a bike for a little over a year now, and I'm getting the itch again, and I have been trying to figure out the best ride...
