Cool site, I just bought the bike I've wanted since the first time I saw one in a magazine......In fact I had a picture of the 85 Vmax hanging on my wall when they first came out.....but I got into the sports bike thing for a long time and didn't get around to buying a Max untill now...

I just bought a 2001 it only has 3600 miles on it and has had a lot of "bling" mods done to it....

mods done so far

-Fire Red 1995 Skins (mint)
-Chrome Wheels ("500" miles)
-New Metzlers, "500" miles (170 rear)
-Chrome Scoops
-Chrome Side Covers
-Chrome Shift Levers
-Chrome Resivor Caps (Vmax is engraved)
-Chrome Factory "Sissy Bar"
-Chrome/aftermarket Grips
-Chrome Engine Guards
-Chrome Kuryakyn Pegs Front & Rear
-Polished Kerker Slip Ons
-Factory Tinted Mini Shield
-Raptor Shift Light
-Kisan Headlight Modulator
-Brake Light Modulator (LED bar on plate)
-Marker Lights on Radiator Cover Wired as Signals
-Air Horn (Compact unit, not the trumpet style)
-K&N Air Filter

Does the mini screen make much difference in the amount of wind that hits the rider?

maleko89 · Dec 4, 2006

Absolutely. Of course, not as much as full windscreen.

KRL0215 · Dec 4, 2006

welcome to the site.....great lookin ride you have there

Dreamster66 · Dec 4, 2006

I too think so.
I had alot of people telling me that I'd have more wind on my face unless I got into the tank (laid down)
But I feel it kinda direct some of it to the left and right.... you can see the way it was designed.
I love it....wouldnt get rid of it for anything....plus.....looks awesome too!

Max?
Are the wheels chromed or are they polished aluminum?

I too fell in Love with the Max in 85 when it first came out. And 21 years later I own my first one. I still have the picture I clipped out of a magazine back in 85, still hanging on my bulletin board.

They are chrome...I wish I still had the poster from 85..

82ndCowboy · Dec 17, 2006

Your Max looks sweet. I want my rims chromed. It's on my lenthy to do list. LOL!

I don't have an actual poster, that would be nice. I don't remember what mag it was in , but they had an ad for the VMax, I cut it out and hung it on my buletin board. And to this day there it hangs.
