mods

I have completed all of the mods that improve the comfort for the tall riders out there: Corbin seat, sits taller then the stock seat, much firmer. Buell pegs, lower foot position, less knee bend. 31 inch drag bars, better position, wider feel. Bar end mirrors, works better with the wider...

I'm making my longest ride to date to Laconia this month and I was looking at maybe adding some "comfort mods" I am lucky enough that rick is going to let me try out his maxgasser loaner seat for the trip which inevitably I will probably end up buying a custom built one from him promptly after I...

I'm making my 98 Vmax a little more personal. Painted fenders and faux tank cover and side plates "hot rod black". Had scoops and several other metal pieces powdercoated gloss black. Installed forward controls which got powdercoated too. Swapped turn signals for tiny LED's that are flat black...

The right turn signal was messed up so i got these There is only one rearview mirror, so i got these :)

Well this is not my first rodeo when it comes to modified cars/bikes. I like to do lots of mods, and I love to document stuff. So naturally I produce a lot of DIY's. There is a lot of excellent information on this site, but some of it is somewhat spread out, and some of the pictures suck. So...

When I try to search for HID headlight mods the HID is dropped by the search engine as being too small, etc. How can I search for HID mods? Need to upgrade my headlight as my old eyes are needing more light... :biglaugh:

Hi! Finally I will get some changes on my bike. I got a few pieces this week: - Tank cover - Braided Cables (3 front line, clutch line, rear line, speedo Cable) - Morley's Seat Set (Gen 2 Carbon and smooth mix) - Superbike bar - Grips - End bar - Master Cylinder (full set) - End bar...

I just bought & installed a PCW extra plate clutch kit, inc. the heavy-duty diaphragm spring & all friction discs. They use Yamaha friction plates in their kits. My 1992 bike w/23,000 miles on it, was on its original clutch. It just began slipping recently when I swapped-on a Dynojet Stage...

As a former Vmax owner and member of club, in the past I see posts on how to convert rear seat reflector and also radiator side reflectors to lights. Can anyone point me to where these links would be? Thanks for any help and I am glad to be back here again.

I am going to start this thread, albeit somewhat late in the mod process, to document the mods I have done, and what I'm working on now. I thought that having all my work in one thread will be a nice way to document the developement of Redbone's own personality. I usually wait for the downtime...

So I picked up a Carbon Fiber edition 1999 Vmax with around ~23k miles this weekend. First impressions are it sounds awesome and is fairly comfy compared to the SS bikes I've owned in the past. I rode it from Tampa to West palm area (~200 miles) and I averaged 24.7 mph.... thats my only gripe...

Ok, here it is, I just finished putting the new grips as my final mod this year but hate them so now I'm looking for grips that actually GRIP. But the other mods came out ok for what I did. Here's a few pics. Although I'm getting mixed reviews on the knee plates, I like them but am considering...

Hey fellas, I was wondering if you could post some pictures of you lighting mods you have done. I am thinking of going with a monstermax taillight, with some small LED turn signals front and rear. Not sure on the headlight yet. I wanted to see what you have done before or I order anything and...

Hey guys, I just had a quick question for you. Do you think it would be worth rejetting/adjusting the carbs on my 06? Its all stock except for a K&N filter, shimmed airbox Y, and supertrapp slip on exhaust (although they have open caps on them so its pretty much straight through). Last time i...

Hi folks I'm currently using a YZF750 USD fork and YZF750 front wheel setup on my '89 Max. Let's imagine that I wanted to continue to use the USD fork but install my old Vmax wheel on this YZF front fork. The front axle of the YZF750 is, however, a larger diameter than the Max's, so I'm...
