install

On the advice of another 2009 Vmax owner I bought a set of two BarEnder helmet locks, about $100. The version that fits the Vmax is the 6mm one. http://www.barender.com/media.htm They are a very quick install, replace the stock bar-ends with slightly heavier (220 gm vs 164 gm) cylindrical...

I'm going to install a set of UFO Vgas flatslides for a friend of mine this weekend. Any advice or tips from anybody I might need to know before I start? I already bought a set of plastic leggings for the test ride to keep the gas off my good jeans. Rusty

I needed a new battery and have heard some OK things about it and it was only $47.00, so I picked one up from Apex Battery. The terminals are straight up vertical instead of flat, making the install a real pain. I had to install the battery cables when the battery was out of the bike sitting...

Hey gents. I've searched thread after thread without success... I've just purchased a tender to winterize this season and wondered if there is a thread describing a pigtail install. I haven't had the seat off yet, but from what I've read, it seems like quite a birds nest under there. I'd like to...

I just installed new pads in front and completly bled and cleaned the calipers and rest of the system. It was freaking cruddy in there! Anyways I installed the new pads and they seem to be scraping a little bit...It seems like the piston may be sticking and not going back far enough to let...

I wanted to install Progressive Suspension fork springs on my 2003 V-Max, but all the manuals I reviewed only covered the complete disassembly of the forks. I couldn't find anything here as a how-to, so I am writing this up. The process is really very simple and can be completed with simple hand...

After mulling it since my purchase I have decided to install the Venture solid mounts on my 2003 Max. I have read the Outlaw write up and was wondering if anyone here could provide any install tips for this. I know that it is harder than it sounds and looks, so I am looking for some experienced...

Would anyone happen to have a pdf of the install process for the stage 7 kit. I have been chasin really strange carburetion issues and think I may be missing something from the kit. i scoured DynoJet to no avail, I've emailed them however. Thought I might try here as well. Thanks

Hi all. Just picked up a set of Supertrapps for my '05. Got the stockers off without much difficulty. However, I'm yanking my hair out trying to slip on the Trapps. On the right side of the bike, I can match the ends of both pipes but it appears that the alignment of the pipes is off. On the...

Just got the rubber moulding piece that apparently mounts along the top edge of the faux tank between the tank and the tach. But I haven't figured out how it's supposed to go. Can someone take a pic of this rubber part on their tank so I can see how it goes?

I have a new clutch slave cylinder and new clutch pipe and fittings. I'm still finding hydraulic fluid on the garage floor. What's the deal with that? Anybody have any ideas?

I recently installed the UFO 4 into 1 Dragstar on my Max. The bike is new, about 300 miles at the time of this message. The carbs have not been touched, no jet ket. The bike runs great too. I ran my finger inside the exhaust tip and got black soot on my finger. Like I said, the bike runs...

i just purchased a second hand raptor shift lite for a decent price, but am having a little difficulty with the install. i pulled the directions off their website and am clear on everything except the step asking for an in-line fuse to be placed on the red wire (step 9) the lite i got did not...

Well, this is going to be a multi-post thread, but I wanted to keep anyone interested, updated with my progress. I am in the middle of (actually I'm just getting started on) getting Sean Morley's Muscle Carb Kit installed as well as getting a little laughing gas put in. I purchased a Nitrous...

O.K. I ve installed the R1 calipers and I can't get any lever pressure to build-up. I'm about to rip everything off and reinstall the stockers but before I do, maybe someone can enlighten me. I bought the R1's and they were shipped to me in a ziplock with the brake fluid sloshing around them...

Well I got the wheel off, tomorrow I go and get it mounted/balanced.

Hey Gang… While looking around the other day at auctions, I saw the guy that had the USD forks, 17” back wheel, and other stuff on Ebay. He also had an auction for some Showa shocks off of a VTX 1800 that he had used on his VMax and said they fit perfect. Link to the VTX 1800 shock auction...

I do primarily highway cross-country riding. In mid-July, a trip from MN to Portland, OR is approaching and I need new tires. Thoughts, comments, opinions would be appreciated, especially from anyone that has experienced BOTH set-ups. The Venture final drive swap has been done to lower highway...
