Pulled the all out today to clean the garage and make room for the new Mr Max and the recent baby Vmax, Productive day! Tomorrow off to a Vintage bike fest on the river in Madison IN weather is supposed to be awesome. Don't they look good together!!

I had a small polyethylene gas tank from a Briggs & Stratton John Deere riding lawnmower that I decided to make into an auxiliary gas tank for work as needed. I got a couple of hose clamps, big ones, and some GB electrical insulated clamps to make eyelets on top of the tank. Then I used some...

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-motorcyclist-survives-250-foot-plunge-off-cliff/ Rrrrrright.......the steering locked up :rofl_200: Idiot is lucky to be alive! He chose a bad line, pulls in the clutch instead of the brake, cow jumped over the moon. The FZ-10 is not the problem, operator error!

Got a call from the local shop in my town today wanting to know if I had, and could they borrow, my Vmax service manual, so I took it to them. They have in the shop what they say is a 2003 Vmax with polished scoops, Carr wheels, and what I believe are Holeshot exhaust. The town is...

Hey everyone. I'm new to the forum, to vmax's, and to motorcycles in general. I bought this bike on eBay, some of you may have seen it, and have heard some rumors of what's been done to it. Obviously, it has vgas carbs, a full Hindlle system, and a couple odds and ends. However, I've heard some...

After I sold my Suzuki RF900RR and got my 'Max, I've been really happy with it. But I must admit that there are times when I long for the wind protection and longer legs that a sport-touring bike provides. Don't get me wrong...I love my 'Max and will keep it forever, but my old RF900 was...

Well... I had my bike dyno'd tonight. The operator said it's running lean, pretty much everywhere... and that I should bump it up a jet size to get it where it should be. What do y'all think? It's stock as far as I know. I'm at about 1200 ft above sea level.... (don't know if that makes any...

Went to Yamaha for a set 4 new paj2 for my bike. I searched here and most of the threads I've have read say paj2 behind the slide are #170 but the yamaha dealer are saying Canadian bikes are #150. Is this right...are they mess'en with me lol...

Well, its time for me to pass my Vmax on to someone else to finish. I have a complete 1988 with ~47K miles. clean title, with a lot of extra parts. Since I have had the 88' I have had it running and riding. Then I took it partially apart to paint, then the carbs gummed up, and it sat and sat. If...

Not mine, no one I know, bike is in IL. I wouldn't pay half his asking price, to me, that's a $600 bike unless it's got Carrozzerias, a stretched swingarm, plenty of chrome, great tins, a 4/1... you get the idea. 1985 1200cc 1st gen.Yamaha vmax muscle bike . 7k miles on speedo. Drove in...

http://www.bikeexif.com/custom-motus-mst-r-fuller-moto I hadnt heard of the brand. From what I see online most of them need to fall over but this one is nice. But pushrods? Really!

Does anyone remember Rhoy Carter? I recently bought his "Beastbike". I am trying to get it running again (he died about 4 years ago). Apparently he was active on this forum. The 85 VMX1200 has had extensive mods. If anyone knew him, or has information on the motorcycle, please PM me. I was able...

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { } It has been a while since I post. I documented my last build which can be seen here: http://vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=26991&highlight=resto+full That bike ended up getting totaled in North Carolina by family member (they were...

An article from Rider magazine & website, from one of the most-respected motorcycling authors in the business. Dig the dealer-installed striping option! I think the six-pack rear rack and the center-of-tank and rear fender pinstriping are aftermarket products, though, as are the water-jacket...

Done by a Swiss outfit, supposed to be an Eddie Lawson tribute: To me, it has such a dense concentration of components, it looks to be 'the business' and I bet it's fun to ride. If you've never ridden a modern BMW twin you probably will be very surprised at the level of performance. Appears...

A few of us are getting together and staying at The Holiday Travel Park in Bunnell. One exit north of Destination Daytona on I-95. Come One come all. Camping is a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a room. Plus it's just more Fun! Some of us will also be gathering at Pirahnas Bar and Grill on...
