I just put the 444's on my 06. I went with the stock 13". Love them so far. I used the 444-4020B You won't be able to order 444's for the vmax direct from progressive. You have to find the part number you need and order them through a 3rd party vendor. You can download the shock spec sheets from...

Duuuude... someone spilt chrome all over your vmax.😄

I'll also add, never use anything hard in the jets or mixture screw seats like a steel pick. I've had good luck with copper wire strands.

I had the same issue for a while. Ended up being 2 bad accelerator diaphragms and a broken mixture screw oring. Print out the parts diagrams for the carb set, and individual carbs. Take lots of pictures before you disassemble them and even number and mark positions with a sharpie. Inspects soak...

My Max has the same issue. If I use anything but Shell Rotella, it's finicky about going into neutral. But if I use Shell Rotella no problems finding neutral.

Hole shots are 4 into 2.

They are generally tucked up by the frame.the air box usually holds them in place. Wouldnt hurt to put a zip tie or two on it. Loose hanging wires in a vehicle will usually lead to chafe and stress on the connections.

My guess is the eggs were probably laid in the carb drain tube's. That's the most likely place they are coming from. Are they in the fuel filter? Take your tube's off and look inside them and clean them out.

Yeah like most corporations, they embrace the liability card ********. And will only let you order what they have speced out and made for the vmax. And because they don't get enough volume they aren't specing them out anymore. And are only selling what they have in stock. If you go to thier...

I just put a set of Progressive 444's on my '06. Only been on test ride. And it has about 1/2" less sag. But they seem to be a huge improvement. I went with the 444-4020B in 13" Black. I love the clean sleek look. You won't be able to order them from progressive. But if you known someone that...

No those aren't what I was looking for. Scroll back in this post and you will see pics of the Otec "V4" cover plates. But thanks for playing...

Here's a issue I ran into yesterday. I took a quick test ride. And I stopped at a light the bike just shut off. Nothing dead. Push it into a gas station. Opened the seat and airbox cover. checked the fuses, all good. Started checking for loose wires. When I wiggled the orange wire with the...

I'd take a test ride on both before you decide. The gen1 and Gen 2 are two totally different animals. If your a sport bike type and legs will fit comfortably under the scoops. Then you might prefer the Gen 2. But if you'r more of a classic cruiser who like to manhandle your bike, then you might...

Joe at Boxenstopp was a great guy. Our VMax gatherings at Bikeweek and Biketoberfest just aren't the same without him.

Yeah I've tried dyna beads before. Never could tell if they worked or not. I actually have a pack for the front and rear in my tool box. I took a quick ride today and I could not feel any wierd vibration at all. I slow rolled a lil bit and took it up to 85. Seems fine to me with no weights on at...

New 444's are on. Went for a quick test ride only about 6 miles. Intentionally aimed for all the pot holes I could find. Bumps don't slam like the old shocks. And these new 444 didn't bottom out. So I'm one happy little dude. Feels like she rides 10 times better. But I think that's more to the...

My version of one of those stupid unboxing videos.

Just like a big can on a chick. Eye catchy... Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Where ever the servo is when you unplug the controller that is where it will stay. I haven't done it personally. But a couple people have told me they unplug it when it opens the servo on the start up test and it keeps it open. Not sure if it's a benefit. I would think it would make the bike run...

Man those are some fat cans on it. Which exhaust is on it?
