making

Hey all! I recently acquired an '88 Vmax 1200, which I had previously never heard of but fell in love with immediately. The previous owner had put pretty much as much money as possible into maintaining all the OEM moving parts and had paid a bit less attention to how the bike looked, so I've...

Closed the road here for a few days. Brought in a 300T crane. It took the crane company a day to set it up and install the jib. Reached up to the top of a 300' tower, barely. Couldn't get the crane any closer. It was nearly at the maximum radius. Lift capacity was reduced to less than 1T...

I havnt seen Blax for a long time, is anyone else out here making the plug/play COPs conversion? I'm looking for a kit for my 89 Venture 1300.

This has been discussed a bit on other threads but like I'd said earlier, I would post details as to what I found when I got home and got everything fixed. So, A bit of history Several years ago, I bought these levers.....and didnt have any issue from them...

Picked a car engine stand for $30.....couple bits of heavy wall tube and threaded rod.... Heads are coming of for oversize inlets and flow job....for parts cost :) Then spin it over fir o-ring fix and gearbox inspection before a degrease and paint job.

So today's technology is awesome. 2012 ZX14 Pipe and reflash only by Brock. 219 rwhp and 128 ft lbs of torque.... It awesome to see the horsepower wars back! Lets see Yamaha offer 250 rwhp for the gen 2 from the factory. How cool would that be? Its amazing that adding a pipe and flash only...

Here is a great thread about "Bullitt" being filmed. http://selvedgeyard.com/2009/09/26/required-viewing-bullitt-the-granddaddy-of-car-chase-scenes/ Remember the car chase climax, the Charger flying into the gas station and immolating everything, including the bad guys? When they were filming...

I sent Sean my Fazer 700 carbs hadn't been used in 15 years and it showed. He is sending back these almost new shinny carbs can't possibly be the same ones can they? :clapping::punk::eusa_dance:

:rofl_200: hehehe among other things to say the least. needless to say the job's been overly demanding with bouts of weekend and late night/early morning activity. :surf: :th_whip: also the wife and i are spending what few hours of free-time prepping the house for market (years of...

Hey guys I am working on a chain drive vmax with an R1 rear wheel, the wheel is setup for a 28mm axle and the swingarm I got from Sean is set up for a 20mm Axle. My plan is to mill the chain adjuster blocks and swingarm out to 28mm and make a matching axle as I dont have one anyway. would...

Didn't know where to post this, but....I'm wanting to lower my bike, which has stock suspension and tire height/width. My brother-in-law has a Mean streak and I love the way it looks, but I prefer the power the vmax has. I don't know if I really want to change the rear rim, so I think a ME880...

just curious to see what all you guys do for a living and if you like it:ummm:

I thought I would post this just for interests sake, kinda off topic as these aren't Max gears but are basically similar. They are out of a racing Triumph and I just wanted to show the procedure in making them in detail as to give some insight as to what is involved and what to be aware of if...

Hey Gang... 22 1/2 years later, and now I decide to do something with my Max. Bought the ArtFibras body kit, braced/double notched the SW, waiting on the HMF exhaust, and 5.5 x 17 wheel from COO, along with other goodies. Battery busted in storage years ago and killed the paint on the engine...

A few of you may remember this post I made a few months ago: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=512 Well, I took one of the many photos taken that day and did alittle photoshopping, and decided it would make a great t-shirt. I've came up with a few captions to go with the picture...
