    Parts For Sale Two sest flip mechanisms and mystery aluminum parts

    I'd never thought of that before. Unfortunately, I don't have one to check with anymore.

    Parts For Sale Two sest flip mechanisms and mystery aluminum parts

    I have 2 seat flip mechanisms for sale. I also have two machined aluminum brackets that came with a Vmax I bought years ago. Nice pieces, but I have no idea what they are. If you recognize them and could use them on your bike, they would polish up like new. Selling as a lot for $50 or best offer...

    Parts For Sale Gen 1 parts and literature lot for sale

    Well, after over 20 years as a Vmax owner (3 gen 1's and 3 gen 2's) and an admirer since day one, I'm finally moving on. The last of my Vmax related items are up for sale. This includes a nice set of side covers, K&N filter and an airbox. I will also include all of the magazines with Vmax...

    Gen 1 BLACK MUFFLER

    Yes it was purchased new. If my memory serves me correctly, they were chrome on the American models, but black in Canada. I had a friend back then that bought an 01 new that was still the carbon fibre color, but I can't for the life of me recall if the mufflers were still black. I just remember...

    Gen 1 BLACK MUFFLER

    I know my '99 carbon fibre Canadian bike came with a black muffler.

    Kingsmen Kustoms: Hydrographics, Mississauga, GTA - Custom Painting, Vehicle Vinyl Wraps This is the link for where I had it done in Ontario Canada. They had 2 different sizes of the carbon fibre look, this being the larger of the two. The colour of the finished product depends on the undercoat...

    This is one I had re-dipped.

    My 99 was the faux carbon fibre model. If you have access to a good hydro dip finisher, they can quite accurately reproduce it. Keep in mind that my 99 was a Canadian bike, so your home country may have had something different. We also had gloss black exhaust pipes in 99.

    That's the hole where the flip up centerpiece for the gas filler mounts. You would remove that piece from your own seat and mount it on this one. 4 bolts and 2 clips. It takes 5 minutes.

    I see. I don't know of anyone who has raised height options. I'm a tall rider as well and compensated by lowering the driver's pegs an inch with blocks from Exactrep and installing highway pegs made by a gentleman in Australia. The comfort issue with the Vmax is ultimately one of the reasons...

    It is exactly the same. The only difference is in the comfort.

    Well, after a 37 year long love for the mighty Vmax, as well as 22 years of ownership (3 gen 1's & 3 gen 2's) I've decided to move on. I sold my mint 05 back in February and just said goodbye to my mint 15 with 1500 miles on it last week. I have some remaining parts etc. that I'm hoping to clear...

    Parts Wanted Iso. Looking for 2nd gen corbin seat

    I understand. You'll have to buy what works best for you then. I have the opposite problem as a taller rider. Cut down seats on used bikes I look at are always an issue for me. Best of luck finding something that works for you.

    Parts Wanted Iso. Looking for 2nd gen corbin seat

    I don't know if you have previous experience with Corbin seats or not, but I know that I'm not the only one out there that finds them hard and uncomfortable. I bought an OEM Yamaha seat, Sent it to an automotive upholsterer and had them remove the cover, sculpt an area out of the stock seat foam...

    Backfire Sound from Carbs

    I had the same thing recommended to me for this condition. After completion of rejetting and adjustments, it changed nothing in the performance, made my nice chrome exhaust turn blue and never made a bit of difference to the little cough through the carbs. My advice, leave it alone and live with it!

    895 mi on 2013 bike??

    The story about mine from the dealership where I purchased it was that the owner had won the lottery, came in and purchased a Vmax and FJR1300 at the same time, rode each of them home and never rode them again. Other interests caught his attention and the bikes sat high and dry until he returned...
