I wasn't sure where this thread should go since it's not a VMax, but it has VMAx parts so this seems like the right spot. I'll take a chance and post it here and a mod can move it if needed.
Last year, I found myself facing forced retirement (26 years of military SAR tends to beat you up...
Just picked up a frame with swingarm, rear wheel and wiring loom etc the other day.
I have quite a few spare parts here and should be able to punch out another bike as I have a spare engine etc. I don't want to throw a whole lot of money at it but I want it to look nice.
I have a few plans...
I have an 89 Vmax for Sale in Waterford, Michigan. Royal star cases, Venture pistons, R1 front end, custom billet triple clamps, 21" front and 18" rear wheels. It still needs the brakes, cooling (wheel interferes with the stock radiator) and wiring sorted. $1500 obo
Acquired a new project bike for the shop. Currently runs great and will be a good platform for future mod testing.
Current Configuration (as of 2/7/2015)
UFO exhaust, nash flash, rear stock signal/tag eliminator, ufo front rad blinkers, drag mirrors, see through clutch and waterpump covers...
Hey All,
My wife and I have led an effort to provide candy bags for some Hungarian orphans in our area. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Last year when talking to one of the orphanage directors, he said that some children have been abandoned by their parents, and DON'T EVEN...
Got an opportunity to grab a vmax, stripped down completely to frame.
Owner says it ran great, obviously i can't test that. It was pulled apart because it was getting beautified.
It's an early bike, could be prone to the 2nd gear issue.
What's a good price for a complete bike, but...
From the drawing board to reality. The plan is to make something that has the same dimensions as the stock carbs to be able to use mounting brackets, butterfly’s and linkage, along with a custom ram-air kit. The design was done with solidworks and modeled around components that are easily...
So....following my plan to make my project more 'max-like' as opposed to looking like a vrod....eeeuuuw...I'm creating some custom intake scoops that will actually work.
1st pic.....bike looks very v-rod ish
2nd is the mould taken from......
Pic 3.......inspiration comes from many places....
Here is a pic of my latest project.
This is for a friend of mine....and it will eventually be given to his daughter as a present. It was dropped by.....as well as boxes of "stuff", last week.
This friend of mine is a old biker from WAY back when. When I asked him why did he want me to build...
Just had to share these pics.. It's a secret so don't tell anyone :eusa_dance:
Had one of the best in the biz fab these for my Max project.
Installing first week of April..
A thread was posted with a link to a guy that was on a dirt bike that jumped off a ski jump. He also rode it down a bobsled chute. In many of the shots the bike had 17s with sport bike tires. Supermotard or sumo for short. Several manufacturers make bikes like these that are plated for the...
Well, I decided to get going on the Headlight conversion. I got this M109R2 headlight assembly for $110 shipped:
I removed the stock headlamp...
...and bungee corded the new assembly into place.
I'm torn - it will provide MUCH better lighting, but I'm thinking it's...
So...anyway...I'm CERTAIN everyone on the forums is vitally interested in progress on my 1986, Which I received from my boss as a gift. His purpose in giving the gift was so I could, in his words, "get this VMax crap out of your system so we can get on with getting you a nice Honda GoldWing."...
Well, with a year's worth of experience on my beloved V-Max, I have come to the realization that, as much as I love my Woona, she does not fit the bill for what I really need.
I need something with decent range, can carry enough luggage for the trips I do, is relatively comfortable, and is...
Hi guys been a while since I've been on here :) just nosied through for some info on setting float heights etc as my project has just had all new internals in the carbs etc to give them a refresh........ Anyway here's the project as it stands at the moment, some of you will have already seen it...

Sean Morley hooked me up with this system after a lot of questions...
I'm starting a project to bild a Drag Race only gen II Vmax.
For the first season the bike will stay as a normally aspirated.
I Would need a lot of your help while I'm still a rookie with VMax.
