I'm looking for new mirrors to put on my 85 Vmax.
Does anyone have recommendations? I have a stock looking Vmax, original purple color, nothing's been done aesthetically outside of some chroming done on side covers (scoops?) and couple other things here and there.,
What are the covers called...
So my front brakes have been catching and I'm finally going to remove them and do it right! So what's the best way to clean the floating rotor bolts? (Or whatever they are called). Also, I want to replace the Allen bolts that hold the rotor on. Is stainless the way to go??
Thanks guys!
If you have some old part needed to remove the paint off of them you may try brake fluid DOT-3 - it work for me. It can't hurt to try it. No hand work no mass.

New to Vmax. Bought a 98, kind of a project, in shop right now, first is de-rusting gas tank and sealing. Then to starting and tuning. Anyway, my thread is rust on the bike. Am posting pics of the rust I am talking about. I would like to have a rust remover I can spray on and remove the rust. Is...
Just done my fork seals and bushes on a 91, my lower allen bolts would not budge with forks in the tripple tree or out, then one turned and I thought my luck was in but the damper just turned with it. Read here on the forum several quick home made tool options for holding the internal damper...

I have read on here before about bleeding brakes in this fashion, so I thought about giving it a try. I am installing R1 calipers and Galfer braided brake lines, front and rear. I also will change the clutch line.
First off I had the pistons on the calipers all the way compressed into the...
I bought a Barnett clutch kit. (the purple one) The instructions are a single page showing that you removed the old one and bolt in the new one. Is it that easy?
I haven't taken a Vmax clutch apart in 10 years and remember none of it.
Finally listened to my baby ROAR to life today! MAN she sounds good. I've got a lot of adjustments to make still, but its good to know that she's alive.

No idea how that crack got there. It wasn't there last season, so maybe when I was moving the engine around...
Because people asked - I shall answer :)
Like the original look of the white lettered Dunlop Qualifiers that came on the Max at some point in it's history?
I sure did - as it really gives it that "muscle car" look.
I was asked by three separate people this weekend at the bike show how I did...
