when you slide the tubes up on the stock front end on an 86 to lower the front doesn't that change the location of the air inlet for putting air in the tubes?

You know its going to be a good when............ Well I was cruising home from work on Ol Fortune cookie putting along spitting burnt rice out the exhaust. I was traveling on a 4 lane road speed limit 40 MPH less than a mile from house in the left lane cause I was going to be turning onto my...

I have a '99 with 13K miles. When on the centerstand the rear tire had a lot of resistance to turning by hand. A good spin and it would stop after about 1/2 rotation. I mounted new Shinkos and took a 15 mile ride and now the rear tire will turn about 2 full rotations with a good spin. The rear...

I have seen 1 or 2 Max's here with a "sport tail" OMG that is sexy! Wher would one goi about getting one? How much do they cost? What sort of modifications need to be made (if any) for it to work!! I love it!

Hey guys, I have had a Kerker 4-2-1 exhaust system for a long time and over the winter I bought a Scorpion can as I'm looking for a different sound for the bike. Problem is the the Scorpion can is a 3 bolt on style from a 1200 Bandit and the Kerker requires a slip on style. I tried emailing...

can anyone tell me how Mario's bar end mirrors fit on, over or into Kurkyian(sp) hand grips which i have currently installed. they seem quite nice from pics. just wanted to know if they were compatible and how much tweaking it would take to get them on before i forked out the $$$$. thanks...

What does it mean when you guys say you have the front end "strapped" ? I've seen the term mentioned several times, but I can't find a thread describing it. I'm assuming it's a racing thing, maybe pulling the front suspention down & strapping it in place to limit movement. But how does that help...

After 23 years of wanting a V-Max, I'm flying from Colorado to Kansas to pick up an '06. I've already bought some bar end mirrors and would like to put them on for the ride back. Can anyone tell me what size wrench is needed to take the stock bar end caps off? Thanks.

started to take all the extras off my max, and will be sending him :wave bye:down the road in a few days

I have a question about my clutch operation. I have read all the clutch posts and haven't seen a direct answer for this question. I also read that there is no adjustment to the clutch on the Vmax. I don't have any type of slippage, but when letting out the clutch the bike does not engage the...

In recent weeks I have been putting the final touches on some handling mods to my ’88 model. That process started with researching and planning a year ago, asking lots of questions along the way. This post mostly deals with bringing a standard 40mm front end up to spec. I’ll do a separate...

What are you guys using for bar end mirrors? I've seen some on ebay, but they're all convex style mirrors. Anybody running a round flat style bar end mirror on their bike? Getting ready to order a jacket and the mirrors, just wanting some input.

Hey guys I just picked up a venture rear end, do a lot of commuting, anyways I have read over the tech manual on removing the rear tire and taking off the pumpkin, my question is... Does anyone have any words of wisdom on what do and what not to do that might not be spelled out in the books...

Book of Revalationes 6:12And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 6:13and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of...

Hey Guys I have the chance to pick up a 99 venture rear end and the shaft for a steal, just wondering if it will fit on my 86 and if the pumpkins dont match can I just swap the ring and pinon. Thanks in Advance Cheers :cheers:

I was always bored with the V-Max rear fender and square taillight, so this is what I did. Cateye taillight installed on the reflector bracket, custom tag bracket mounted on grab rail. I wanted to use a side mount bracket/light, but had clearance issues with my Cobra exhaust. Next up...

I hung out with a buddy of mine this wekend who has a warrior. The upside down front end on the warrior is really sweet looking. Anyone know if this is a cartrdige front end or jus a damping rod like the Max. It does use the same lower front bearing as the Max but has a different part # for the...
