So yesterday a set of carbs came in from Mr. Morley to install on my buddies '87 Venture and this is what it looked like when it came out of the box... :damn angry: Damn USPS! I'm pretty sure that this is where in the box we had the issue. My buddy, Bill was surprised they were damaged as...

This site has been great, for the positive and helpful feedback on my VMax challanges. My next challange (and I have a lot of vmax challanges) is that the rocker cover has retaining bolts that attach into the cam caps to hold the rocker cover in place. one of these cam caps has been...

Today i received some stock grips etc (thanks to Kevin) to replace my munted ones so i replaced one side no problem but when i came to replace the throttle side once i took the end cap off to find that the throttle sleeve had broken away and the grip the sleeve came off in my hand. This may well...

I just broke my 2nd speedometer cable in less than 300 miles. Could this be due to the fact that I have the front lowered 2 inches up front?:bang head:

I had put about 300 miles on my 97 Max today, when disaster struck. Cruising along in 5th at about 40mph or so behind a slow-moving car, I kicked it down to 4th, and passed shortly after. Didn't even open it up, just casually rolled around the slow car. I went to put it back into 5th, I didn't...

Hi i have broken 2 crankshafts, is there a problem whit VMAX crankshafts, the first one was 1300 bigbore whit flatslide carbs, and the secont one was whit only flatslide carbs, Is there made an extra strong crank for the VMAX?

I screwed up when trying to change rear diff oil on my truck and broke the head off of one of the bolts. I dont think anyones ever changed the diff oil in its 33 year life, it looks like diahreah. I sprayed it with pb blaster before i gave up on it tonight. Whats the best way to get it out...

Noobie here! Can anyone tell me how to install the shock stud required by a VMAX on a Venture final drive housing? Bought my first Max a little over a week ago. It's a '92 and I got a good price knowing it had some deficiencies. Although it runs well and accelerates harder than anything...

Well, I figured I may as well start a thread of destruction. Maybe it even needs to be a sticky! Here's what happens when you drop a valve (or two). This was taken out of a customer bike this last weekend (we put a stock trade in I had taken in on trade for one of my 1300's). He said that he...

Found these shocks on the bay. Does the bottom one in the picture look like it's broken, or is it normal for the top cap to be able to be at that angle? :ummm::ummm:

Yup, I broke the pinion shaft, right where the nut holds it on. My main question is, what do I do now? I can get a whole new assembly for $775, (dealer buddy price, but ouch!) or should i pick up a used assembly from ebay with unknown milage, or should I roll up my sleeves and rebuild my own? I...

Well, yet another first. Here's what happens when you combine traction and HP. Sean

This is my situation.... THis in my 2nd season on my max. It is a high milage bike, 53k. Ran fine last season. This spring I replaced all carb and intake boots. Replaced valve cover gaskets. I have had a problem of the bike running weak on one cylinder. The left rear. The carbs were...
