opinions

So Ive wanted a VMax for about 5 years but could never find one in my anorexic budget until about 6 months ago... I found a beautiful 85 on craogslist the day I was supposed to be picking up an 85 CB00F and I ended up buying this one on the spot. I was afraid to touch it for the first...

I have an 06 bone stock, just got it running correctly with help from this site. The monkey is talking and need your opinions on what I should do first and maybe a ballpark figure on the upgrade. Exhaust-thought about slipons but really want a Kerker or Marks for the long haul. Only reason...

Checked out a 96 with about 12k on the clock last night. It has 17" rear and front with radials, progressive springs and 440 shocks lowered 1/2 inch, UFO fork brace, 4-2 holeshots, Barnett clutch, braided lines, r1 calipers, oil pressure gauge, stage 1 jet kit :(, led tail light, aluminum...

I've got two stock springs and one PCW spring on hand. Been running the Double D, I've broken two driveshafts since installing it, and one trashed tranny although I can't say Double D was the cause of course. I'm leaning forwards running the PCW spring, got a crap load of money in this so far...

My daughters boyfriend has been looking for a used bike at a decent price. He found a 98 vmax in stock condition with only 4,500 miles on the clock at a local stealership that is selling it on consignment for another customer. Bike blue books in at like 3200, not taking into consideration the...

Decided I want a shift light. Wanted to get some pros and cons. Debating on which one. Raptor, SpeedHut, read about Ecliptech on here, do you think AutoMeter 5343 would work? Thanks.

My son will graduate from high school this Spring, and has a desire to become a motorcycle mechanic/technician. I work as a school bus mechanic, so wrenching is also in my sons blood, and he enjoys working on anything with an engine. He wants to attend PSI (power sport institute) in Cleveland...

I have my Vrod headlight mounted and wired! Now I am mocking up a windscreen that I have had for several years and dreamed of putting it on the Max. I know ultimately it is up to me, but what do you think? Note: The mounts are not finished and i am not exactly sure where the mini blinkers...

i do not have a vmax yet...but am looking and considering a 2005 anniversary edition....i was wondering what years are better or worse?? pros and cons to different years....figure i have about 7k to spend...less is better...but a bit more is also available.....the 2005 im looking at has 8000...

I'm putting an ad up on Kijiji (Ebay) Craig's List, whatever. Here's what I've got. Question is , Am I alright on the price?????? Higher, Lower... The Boat is really Immaculate... I was injured pretty badly in an accident 1997 and thought I would be able to use this more when I bought it in...

Hi guys, newbie here. I just bought a vmax last weekend from a guy that thought the crank bearings were bad. Listening to it I think it's more of a topend/ valve adjustment issue. This is my first vmax so any input is highly appreciated! I want to square this away before starting the mods...

Finally getting somewhere. Few more fixes and this bike will be GTG... Below's a picture of where my current settings are running as far as an average, plug reading. I currently have 147.5 mains, stock needles shimmed 0.034. Air / Fuel 3 turns out.. Everything else in the carbs is stock. K&N...

Below is side picture of my 83 Venture. I would like to try a set of VMax exhausts on it to see if it helps power. Fairly sure the rear crash bars may need to go , but I don't want to take off side bags. Bike has a center stand I could loose if I had to. What do you guys think, you know your...

Just got an offer of $7500 CDN for my 2006 Vmax (stock). Bike has ~7700kms, runs nicely, otherwise stock. I like my bike, but that seems pretty good. What do you guys think? (keep in mind I'm a university student)

Ive been poking around with the idea of an aftermarket exhaust for a bit now. ive decided to get some feedback on the marks exhaust. i will probably go with the 4 into 2 black ceramic. i do know hes hard to get a hold of, but besides that. what is everyone's experiences with these pipe if...

I have finally decided that I need one and am looking for experienced opinions on two I found at Sears. I have never owned one or seriously looked into buying one. I am just going to use it for simple garage tasks, but will be looking for it to drive a 3/8 impact gun for the occasional tire...

Okay guys, I was thinking of doing the drilled exhaust mod (5 1/2 inch holes in between the rivets) and was wondering does it sound nice? Does anyone else have it done? Does it decrease power? Thanks,

Hey Guys: I'm pretty new here, but some of you know that I'm on the prowl for a newish Vmax. I've been looking primarily at 07's, but considering 03' to '06's as well. Anyway, I came across a Vmax for sale near me today that is MUCH older. It's an '86 model with 28K on the clock and he's...

Hi All, I ordered a set of exhaust from Mark's, they are 4 into 2 black ceramic. I'm having second thought about the black, I plan to do chrome work on my bike, scoops, carb covers, hand grab and side covers. I'm wondering if the chrome pipes will look better on my 2007 VMAX with the new...
