Thanks for the input. I will proceed with my original plan to take it to my Vmax shop (formally UFO) here in Ohio.

Ok, thanks, I didn't realize that the factory headers would be double walled. If I can get a measurement of the stock header OD I will know for sure.

In 2022 I sold my 2006 Vmax, with plans to buy an older model, just a runner, for a couple thousand less. After looking around all this summer, I decided I really did like the 06-07 bike color schemes, so on Monday I bought a 2007 in nice condition. However it came with what appears to be Cobra...

How much for the Cat convertor?

Wanted stock silver side covers with Vmax badges, or need Vmax badges themselves. I just bought a 2010 Vmax, and I would like to put the stock silver side covers with badges back on it. Or if I cant find them, I would like to know where to buy the raised silver Vmax badges. I am also looing...

Thanks or the pics and info, I also love the blue, one of my 3 favorite colors. Thanks for the feedback about the de-cat pipe and Nash flash and it still running smooth like factory. I also like your "Vmax" clutch (?) cover, where did you get that?

THING 1 & THING 2

As far as mods, I ordered the Puig New Generation Sport Windshield, I think it really looks nice on the dark cherry color bikes. I also am considering doing the tail tidy, however, as it sits in my garage now, I don't seem to hate the "extended fender/plate mount" as much as I thought I did...

Those are classy looking highway pegs.

Thanks for everyone that replied to my previous post that asked Gen 2 riders to tell me what its like to ride one. I bought a 2015 1700 Vmax on Tuesday, way down in very rural WV. I had my choices down to 2 nice bikes, a 09 and an 10 on Facebook, and was going to buy one this week, when I ran...

Nice bike! Where did you get an exhaust like that? Only concern is, why do you want to impale yourself if you lay it down, its gonna hurt bad enough the way it is? 😁

Thanks. Did you have to tune the bike after the Guru Ecu flash? Did you de-cat your original exhaust, or just leave it totally original and just added the Guru flash?

thats a sweet original warrior except for the pipes! How does the Raider feel compared to the warrior?

Thanks for your information. Those are 2 great bikes. I also have a custom 1700 Warrior (precursor to the Raider 1900 as you probably know). Thats a nice blue Vmax, the blue ones are kinda hard to find. Did you de-cat your standard mufflers, or is that what the middle pipe change did for you? I...

Sounds like you live in a great place! I have not done triple digits on a cycle yet, mostly just full out 0-80 runs. I have to be more careful around where I live. Are there better aftermarket seats for the Gen 2 like Corbin or Max Gasser? There are also some custom places that will put memory...

Thanks for all the tips and experiences shared, I am putting it into my memory bank. I am back to knowing I will get one. I appreciate hearing any tips and experiences riding it that you are willing to share.

Thanks for all your time and comments so far. One of you mentioned the front end weight during low speed turns. The other day when I was riding my 1200 Vmax I really did notice how heavy the front was to turn at very low speeds. I still don't understand why as my M109 beast weighs a good bit...

Here is the problem, I had a lot of bikes during my college years, then a family and kids for many years and no bikes, then in 2020 with Covid, bikes were dirt cheap so I bought some again. I have a Gen 1 Vmax, 900 Eliminator, M109 as an example. I have always planned on buying a 1700 Vmax...
