mod

So, I was tipped to a mod for the vmax clutch. Haven’t tried it yet, but this post will hopefully sort out the pros vs cons and opinions of the mod. When installing the Barnett pressure plate and new friction discs if you’re installing those as well, you can remove the clutch boss ring, clutch...

I am a big guy. I keep seeing the mod to make the seats more comfy. Also seems like it would change (raise) peg position slightly. I would love to move the pegs down and back at least an inch or more to make it more comfortable with stock seat now. Does the seat mod make that huge a difference...

Do you have to remove the entire box or does it come apart in the middle? Can you just remove the top part to do the mod, remove the panel. Also did you notice a big difference in performance. I had the gen 1's many years ago but this is my first gen 2 and I love it. It's a beast. Thanks for...

Hi all! I have a 98 runs great and I am ready to do some mods. I just ordered VooDoo exhaust and I am considering doing a carb kit and K&N filters. I live in Colorado and have been told to not do the carb kit.... due to our elevation. Any Ideas??? :ummm:

I did this mod yrs ago to my 2002. I swapped out the brake and clutch reservoirs for round ones (FZR1000 type). The OEM are ugly and alrdy etched from seeping fluid, anyway, what are folks using now adays for a replacement? I do know that you need to match up the correct master cylinder for...

I'm sure that different people have different things they've done to the Max, (and are still doing, for that matter :biglaugh:), but what has been your personal best upgrade /project / mod and why? For instance, In my case. My 91 was neglected, barely covered, left out in the elements...

Like the title says, this is the fourth V-Max I've owned in my life. It's a 1993. I've nailed the throttle a few times and it feels much more stable than the 1999 I just sold. Strange. Anyway, I'm doing the basics with limited funds. I've purchased: - New clutch disk set and gasket ordered, but...

Could be useful to some...

I am looking to widen my front tire to match my 240 rear tire. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was wondering with the things that people can make nowadays with plasma cutters just good old welders and knowledge, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a center stand made for a Gen 2. Every Gen 1 I had I used them religiously and I love them. At first it took a little bit to...

97 Vmax 24k ; Ive looked for a 1st gen Vmax specific headlamp hid conversion mod for a while and truthfully I did find only one for 50$. I had some misc parts laying round from my 04 Vtx 1300c as it turns out the oem lamp type are exactly the same h4 9003. So I wondered if a old hid kit i had...

I found this picture today. If this belongs to someone on the forum, I'm sorry for what I'm about to say. In MY opinion, this is the worst thing possible to do to a V-Max. I think a 1977 Honda Gold Wing would have been a better choice. :confused2:

I'm trying to do the fan mod that Tim Nash does. I'm having a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I know that in the molex the fan wire that you have to connect the wire to should come out of the molex connector when you slide a thin object down to push down the clip that is locking...

Here's a tail light mod that was so easy a caveman could do it. Did not have to cut any thing off the bike so I can put the old lovely tail light back on. Found the led cateye on Ebay for $10 took some 1/16 sheet aluminum to make the bracket bolted it all up then just moved the license plate...

Seat.

Hey guys, followed every step of the DD clutch mod but now can't pull in the clutch lever at all.What did I miss?

Got this off VmaxChat: http://vmaxchat.yuku.com/topic/19703/Clutch-And-Front-Brake-Lever-Bearings#.VyK2NlbwHHZ There was a mod here on the forum (it came from another forum) that used a needle bearing to be pressed into a modified clutch lever and machine the pivot pin bolt...

Here is a little mod that I find beautiful, costs only 30$ and takes 30 minutes to do!

Thinking of modding the front headlight. Would like to do a side by side with a smaller headlamp. I'm sure someone's done this. Is this something I'm gonna have to fab up myself or is there a kit available? Thanks for any help. Go fast! Brake early lol
