    I just had the rear brake squeal on mine. I ended up having to remove the caliper pistons and cleaning everything up really well. I started by doing a flush….still a squeal. Next changed the pads, deglazed the rotor, and a little grease on the backside of the pads. Still had the squeal. Only the...

    1st Gen V-Max First Summer on a '99 VMAX!

    One of my favorite mods is the reflector tail light from Morley. Was able to drop weight and clean up the rear end.

    You can slide the front forks without swapping the rears, but I’m not sure how much that will drop the ride height. 3/4” in the front was the max for me with the drag bars and new brake/clutch master cylinders. Also, I appreciate the compliment! I’m a pretty big fan of the bike. The bag is a...

    Ordered a 2nd set of shocks. Install is pending. Probably this Thursday. I will still get some pictures if you would like.

    The 412’s were returned. I tried to get an “eBay deal” and ended up paying the price. They were delivered with surface rust on the springs and the bushing were already cracked. They ended up being new but very old stock. I can get a pic with just the front lowered when the weather breaks.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Fender delete/ reflector mod tail light/ L brackets to mount plate/ and led lights. Cleans up the back of the bike. Also raised the front forks 3/4” in the triple trees.

    1st Gen V-Max First Summer on a '99 VMAX!

    I just slid my front forks 3/4-1” in the triple trees and have 11.5” 412’s being delivered on Tuesday. I can post and update and pics when I get them installed. I’m 5’7” with a short inseam skin share in the struggle. Any specific pics you want to see?

    Riding Glove Recommendation

    What are you guys wearing? Currently using general use mechanix gloves but considering moving up to something with a little more protection. Looking for a warm weather glove so leather is fine but needs to be perforated.

    Master cyl options?

    Update… I was able to reverse bleed the master cylinder and get the bike back on the road. She is shifting smoothly and running well. I took the advise and back flushed the cable without the master attached. I also cleaned out the master. Thanks for all the help!!

    Master cyl options?

    Parminio- could I have a bad/blocked bleed screw on my clutch? I’m able to bleed it the traditional way, but it will not accept a reverse bleed. I was able to do the reverse method for the front and the rear brakes so I understand the procedure. Unless I’m doing something stupid. I’m using a...

    Master cyl options?

    Thank you! This is my first vmax. Hard to tell what is considered “normal”. Hopefully get it out on the road this evening and try it out. Ohio weather has not been the greatest.

    Master cyl options?

    When you swapped the clutch master did your engagement point for the clutch change from stock? I swapped with the eBay 5/8 bore master and it went from the end of the lever throw to right off my grip. Just wondered if you experienced similar?

    Master cyl options?

    Yes. Most are aware of the search feature. Not sure if you intend to sound condescending or if it’s just your approach. I replied to patate657 for his first hand experience with the product. Thanks

    I know it’s a long shot. Anyone in the northwest Ohio/northeast Indiana region have an exhaust for sale? I currently have stock headers with supertrapp slip-ons. Looking to buy or trade with me adding cash for a nice set. Pic of my bike with exhaust is attached.
