My wife Kathy just got a phone call from her sister. Her Mom and Dad were in a severe auto accident this afternoon. They are both in their mid 80's, and Kathy's mom had been fighting cancer these past few years. She was Mercy Flighted to ECMC in Buffalo with some pretty severe injuries and...

The Good: My '85 Max with over 38k, has never exhibited the dreaded 2nd gear problem until now. The Bad: My v-boost has never worked until now. The Ugly: Finally got the v-boost working, and now whenever v-boost engages in 2nd gear, it pops out of gear. DAMN - DAMN - DAMN ! ! ! :bang head: :bang...

What do you guys think? Is it a worthwhile mod?

Good news : I'm back from deployment at least a week or so earlier than originally expected. The bad news is being home earlier = wife has not reactivated the Max's insurance ( and it is a most gorgeous prairie morning ) At least she fired right up after a couple hours on the Battery Tender.

I am stoked, just picked up a brand new pair of progressive 12.5 412,s on ebay, 130+16.00 shipping, time for suspension upgrades!!!!!!:biglaugh:

I have never run across one of these good deals on bike like some of you have..... either free or dirt cheep! :bang head: mine always seems to be on tools or equipment. Like last night I went on a Craigslist purchase trip to purchase one of those industrial floor buffer/ polishers. Most of...

Drove back into Texas today after 9 months working in the land of fruits and nuts. 17 hours straight drive thru the night from Stockton Ca into West Texas, I took these pics out around Sierra Blanca & Van Horn, about 100 miles East of El Paso and about 50 miles from where I grew up. Wish I...

Good news is i found a motor for my Max. I put it in and fired I up. Sounds GREAT! Noticed quickly the water pump was spitting from the weeper. Ran the new motor bout 10 minutes. Result was TONS of water in the oil. Hoping the water pump was bunk I swapped pumps. Put fresh oil in it and fired it...

Good Lord, I thought I've seen it all until today. Check out this train wreck! Custom show bike! LOL!!!!!! F'in ******* in this world, whoever put this bike together should be shot! http://longisland.craigslist.org/mcy/3929672599.html

I dont have this problem. But a good sign none the less.

I recently saw a 2005 Max for sale. 2 owners, 2084 miles. Bike looks beautiful in the ad pictures. All stock. $7, 000. Is this too good too be true? Could this bike been ridden without the odometer being hooked up?

I'm about to give up on fixing my 2005 V-Max myself. You guys have been great on helping me with my front forks, read wheel and stuck float in #1 carb. Only had the bike about 6 weeks and have been trying to get it to run smooth. It has 11,000 miles and, at least on the outside, looks...

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later..... Nothing lasts forever, and looks like my time owning a VMax has come to a sudden - and totally unforseen end.:surprise: It was a great 28 years with Godzilla, really wanted it to be a lifetime thing..... Seems my son Ian (who turns 20 today)...

D'MAN999 (Dennis) stopped over to my house a couple nights ago bearing gifts - besides the 6 pack of beer he thoughtfully brought - . He brought a somewhat beat up, but usable stock exhaust for the '85. I've got a ton of dents on my pipes, and this set is just the ticket for a project I may...

Hello, I live in Sweden and I recently found a set of used swingarm and widened OEM rear wheel with brakes for 1100usd on the Swedish equivalent of craigslist. http://www.blocket.se/lulea/V_Max_bakhjul_och_sving_46452067.htm?ca=11&w=3 My question is how do i know if these stuff are good...

I've been a lurker on this forum for a while now. Think I may have finally found one in my price range. It's an 89 with 14k miles. Looks to have a few cosmetic mods. He's asking $3,000. Price seems high to me, but it is Los Angeles, and everything seems to cost more here...

Hello, As the title says: Where can I find new or good condition carb diaphragm covers? I'm talking about those cover with the ph2 screw heads that sits so damn tight. I used a vice grip to remove them and accidentally made a fat scratch on one of them... Can't seem to find any OEM motorcycle...
