finally

Have been out of work for over a year. I got a call for a good job with decent pay and benefits. :eusa_dance: What a relief! I had been hired by another company for a while but then was let go as they said bussiness has been to slow. Back in the hole again. Was really getting stressed(depressed)...

Sorry for no dyno charts at this time, but long story short, I (with the help of Sean of course) finally got my vmax made into a 1500! With the new higher compression pistons, I got the assembly balanced, ported my heads and v-boost manifolds, and used Sean's bigger 5th gear. I started it up...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqyYYKS6J8U Thats just out of second gear and just into third for a couple of rpm's. Can't wait to hit the track and see what happens.

Well after bugging Sean for about a year, and a bunch of emails, and overcoming the problems of sending him money while using my credit card... I have a Morley Muscle seat ordered! He is even going to TRY to get it done so I can use it for Dowagiac! OK I know, Big deal! Well it makes...

Leave it to a couple Master Vmax gurus to finally solve the issue I had with my MadMax swingarm/ transfer case! I sent my gear case thru Sean to Jedi and now I'm riding it this weekend and so far it's working perfect. I feel very lucky to ever have found this forum otherwise I would have given...

I've never been fond of a black m/c, and so, paint was high on my list of 'to do's' when I got this 09. I had trouble coming to a price agreement with any shop near Neosho, MO. Didn't want, or have, $800-1000 bucks to spend on three pieces of skin just because I don't like black. But...

Finally took the time to do a burnout video before pulling the wheel and installing new rubber. Yes, I cheated with water, concrete in front of my house is like 5 grit sandpaper and wasn't into showing how good I was at doing an impromptu burnout (I'm not), just wanted the smoke show...

Powered it up finally! :eusa_dance: I had been trying to do it WOT then cutting the throttle, then snapping it back open at about 6k. I got it by doing it at around 4.5k, it pops up a little and when it goes back down I snap it again and it goes up really well. About time! LoL

I detailed the issues with my eBay V-max purchase in the new member thread, here. http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=1873&page=184 and here, http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=1873&page=186 I picked the bike up from Snake River Yamaha on Saturday, and they did a great job...

Finally finished the lights on my Max.Now if I can just find a cheap ignitor so I can ride it,lol. http://youtu.be/OAJ9cZ7UE8Y

I bought a Z1000. the same one Garret suggested in another thread. 2003, 22k miles, it's been down but damage is fairly superficial....some scratches on exhaust, a scrape on the tail fairing, and a small dent in the tank that's hardly noticeable. Mechanically it's 100%. Has virtually new Metz...

I purchased Saller Bessie eight weeks ago, but because the previous owner had painted the air intakes matte black, that made her unacceptable for me. The seller agreed to go half with me and send the covers out to CA to be chromed. I am very pleased with the results and I finally picked the SB...

I took these last spring after going through the whole bike cosmetically cleaning it up and redoing the paint with all new aftermarket body work. Had posted a couple, made an album finally. It has since been torn back down due to a tranny failure a week after taking these.......Getting a new...

Here is my almost completed 'dummy blank indicator' mod. I removed the red lens from another panel that had crazed tach and temp lens. It has a red LED in it which is not connected yet. It is rated at above 12v. It was going to be a low voltage indicator...but to simplify things I think I'm...

I finally got together all the components for an affordable passenger backrest/luggage rack combo. Posted also in the CNC projects area, but I thought I would put it here as well. I've been working on this for several months, and finally got all the parts sourced. I've been selling the rack for...

Finally, I have just heard from my doctor that I am almost done with my medical problem, just one more procedure to go this Friday, and I will be A-OK!! Back in June, I was diagnosed with kidney stones. One was 9mm by 6mm, the other was 17mm by 10mm. Generally the largest that will pass is...

R6 rotors, busa calipers, home made adapters, FJR master cyl, ss lines. I wish I would have done it years ago. It sure is nice to have brakes. I wish I would have noticed that the maser cyl wasn't drilled and taped for a mirror BEFORE I got it all done, and I wish I had noticed that the guy I...

I have been doing nothing but riding for the past couple of days!! I'm so glad the weather cooperated. After changing all the fluids, filters, etc. & doing a few other adjustments, Maxine is a beast. :punk:

Just got the bike back together on Sunday and took it for a ride last night. Thought I'd post a few pics...Gonna do the fenders over the winter..Pictures arent the greatest but I'll take some close ups over the weekend.

I didn't do the work myself had a shop do it but... Had them put a really nice quality leather, red stitching to match the red outline on rest of bike and got the word " Invictus " embroidered across the top. The pictures really don't do it justice [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] And...
