front

I'd like to paint the bottom of my forks on my 85 Max. Anyone know off the top of their head what kind of metal the bottom section of the forks are made of? Would it be aluminum by chance? I posted this in the suspension forum but I was told I'd get quicker resonses here. Sorry about the double...

I'd like to paint the bottom of my forks on my 85 Max. Anyone know off the top of their head what kind of metal the bottom section of the forks are made of? Would it be aluminum by chance? I'm aware of the different methods used to prep various metals for paint, but I haven't stripped the...

I believe that my 1989 max has a R1 front caliper conversion.If i am wrong can you put me right on what the calipers are off (see pic).I am looking to buy front wavy discs and i cannot seem to find any for that year.Any help locating someone who sells these appreciated.

I love the feel when the front end just floats about 4 inches above the ground. A quick "bump" between first and second and it's airborne again. I must admit I do not have the balls or skills needed to stand it way up, but the power wheelies just make me grin ear to ear. Wifey secretly enjoys...

Bought a beautiful fork brace, problem is I have to remove the front tire to install it. I don't have a center stand so I'm looking for suggestions on how to remove my front tire? I've tried a lift style jack but with my exhaust system I can't jack on the frame and Im not crazy about lifting on...

What does this part do? Is this a dealer item? I noticed the one that isn't broken gets stuck when assembeled.. Please help, need to ride! John

Hi, I just bought progressive springs and the only part i don't know what to do with is the white PVC tube that comes along, so what am i supposed to do with it? Thanks!

Hi, I just bought myself ricor intiminators, progressive springs, new seals and head bearing. I assume that you'll need to remove the forks to get these stuff in there, so how do you guys secure the bike so that the front end is raised? I've read the forums about how to remove front forks, but...

I experience a serious wobble around 110mph on my 2005 VMAX. I had the front end looked at for problems but none were found. The dealer then told me that this was a common issue with these bikes and not to worry about it. I can't not worry about it so I'd rather find a solution. Is this...

I’ve got an engine oil leak on my 93 vmax but I can’t tell where it is coming from. The oil seems to be coming from the front left side cover. The cover bolts were a bit loose so I tightened them down a bit but that didn’t seem to help. It’s not the valve covers because they have been...

I am gonna need to relocate my front turn signals. The Malibu windshield will not fit with the stock signals. I need ideas. What I initially wished to do was to make up some flush mounted signals, but that is kinda falling through. Need ideas. Those of you who have relocated your front...

Yesterday I started to replace the old cracked plug wires in hopes of resolving a mid-range roughness. I got the back two easily (and they were bad!), but after pulling the right scoop I decided to come ask for help. What do I need to pull in order to access the front of the coils so I can...

I was planning a play by play when I did the install, but it was a comedy of errors, so here's a run down of the meaningful part. My 2003 Vmax had about 4200 miles on it when I purchased it. While it had no crash history, it did have tale tale signs that it had fallen over in the garage or...

Hey guys..:eusa_dance: One of my Vmax's front brakes wont brake hard.. It worked just fine last season considering stock Vmax front brakes suck anyway.. But now its super mushy and barely brakes as the lever bottoms out. The reservoir is full. I went through this with a clutch master I...

Hey I just thought I'd drop by and post some pics, she's pretty much all done the way I 'm satisfied with! I did want to ask if anyone has any experiance with R1 parts on Vmax's- I have an 2008 R1, and I was thinking about doing a front fork swap, and maybe the brakes, wheel, hell the whole...

Is there any way you can support the gen 2 if you need to remove the front wheel, without special tools?

Where as I am a ************* stupid ****, I ordered a 120/90-18 Avon for the front of my bike. The Stock 2.15 rim is too narrow, from what I am finding out. So, I will either have to order a tire that is SMALLER than my friggin piece of **** 110/90 Dunlop, or stick with a piece of **** Dunlop...

hi guys , does a fjr1300 front rim fit onto the first gen (skinny forks) without too much hassle. or is there a better rim that can slot in without being a telephone number? thx Ben:eusa_dance:
