    Older Craigslist post in TN

    For openers, somebody had RURNT the look of this bike! But for an 04 with 20k on it, maybe it'd be worth someone else's time to put stock body parts and such back on it and have a decent ride or flip it for a profit? http://tricities.craigslist.org/mcy/5346265011.html

    Miami FL H-D dealer dies H-D was 22 yrs older than he was

    http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/obituaries/article37140888.html One would be hard-pressed to find a greater biker icon in South Florida than Phil Peterson, who opened his first Harley-Davidson shop on Duval Street in Key West FL in 1954. Peterson grew his Harley dealerships to main...

    The older years of Thunder

    I was in Bedford Pa this weekend with the Concours group. I rode with my bud Howard most of the time on his FJR. We were involved in a nice ride and were coming back towards Johnstown for Lunch...The skies were dark and we found a place called TC's I believe (local bar/food...

    Older than the hills & twice as dusty

    Well, I guess it's official - I am now older than the hills, and probably twice as dusty too. I guess it's time to sell off the bikes, and invest in a wheelchair, cane or whatever so's I can grow old gracefully. My daughter gave birth to my first Grandchild this past week. Suddenly, I feel...

    Older Gen1 owners you need to do this!

    Actually, I think this would be a good, inexpensive and simple mod for anyone, but older bikes would benefit more. My '85 has the classic symptoms of an old wiring harness. Still works OK, but the headlight seems a bit dim, and there were recently a few issues with the main fuse overheating -...

    It can oly get worse as I get older

    Fitted the flying leads of my new CTEK Multi MXS 5.0 12V 'Intelligent' Battery Charger & Conditioner so that I can keep my Odyssey battery at the peak of perfection! It is, however, a shame that the 'intelligence' didn't extend that the moron who attempted to fit it. First time I tried to use...

    tips for buying older v-max

    I'm ready to pick up a 1990 with 18k miles, decent overall shape. It's currently not running and the elderly owner says one day it just started running really bad, would not idle right etc. Everything looks there, just partially apart after owner disassembled to troubleshoot, only to give up...

    How To: Update older model shift segment

    There is a stickied thread about this upgrade HERE, but I thought a step-by-step with pics might be helpful. I gather that pre-99 model vmax's have a shitty segment that is prone to fail. More than one guy has called this upgrade one of the best things you can do for an older Max. I took it...

    09+ Mirrors on Older Vmaxs

    In my continuing search for good mirrors I came up with a thought. Has anyone tried using the stock mirrors from a 09+ Vmax on an older model? They sharp and the stems appear to be long. Not sure if they have the same size thread or not and if the right side is reverse thread, but it was just...
