project

I have a 1968 Olds Cutlass Convertible and a couple years ago I took out the 468 Chevy I had in the car (had a 200 shot of nitrous on it too) to put it back to Olds...but I wanted it to be different. I was wanting to boost it but it wasn't sure how. Soo I seen a 2003 Cobra supercharger on Ebay -...

I have thought about this several times but really had no real desire to pull apart my own bikes for the sake of a chain. But that has now changed a little as a situation has arisen where I basically have some parts at my disposal to play around with. I'll document as I go for interests sake...

Don't know just how accurate the numbers are, but makes a lot of sense to me anyway. http://www.youtube.com/v/4FrGxO2Fn_M#action=share I know, a little ironic to be posting this in a forum dedicated to a Yamaha product, but it's not like a boycott or anything.

That I ve had some fast bikes and now I am toying with my 318 5 spd Dakota a little. And then this popped up for sale.....damn it.... $30,000 for it but its only a 4.6 motor. If I am doing it, I am doing it right and doing a 427.....:biglaugh:

Soon the riding will be over here so I already am planning one of my winter projects. Building a 1300 for the max. What I have so far is a 1987 venture case with the crank rods and pistons in it. I am going to replace the rods with vmax rods. I have a complete set vmax heads and a transmission...

I have an 1986 Vmax I am trying to get back on the road. Problem is I don't have any keys. anyone know what my best option is for getting a replacement? Any input is appreciated.

Thought I would start my own thread where I can post progress and questions. Here is the post I put up in the new member section: Hello all, I joined a few months ago, but haven't introduced myself yet. I've spent these last few months reading the abundance of information this site has to...

Looking for a mechanic in lower Michigan. I have a 1986 Vmax, someone tried to work on it at some point so what I actually have is an almost complete bike and a lot of parts. Not sure why it;s in pieces but a mechanic told me to sell it for parts. Details: Cams covers were removed,only one...

I think Yamaha has abandoned this project. They tried fusing the Gen1 with advanced A.I. to actually join and enhance the rider experience. Is this how Cop Runners Spikes came to be??:rofl_200: Check out this video on YouTube...

I've been trying to figure out a way to raise and lower a caution light on my Peterbilt. Right now it's mounted on the roof on a beam across the top of the truck. But it gets beat to hell when I go into places with low hanging trees and what not. So I want to get it off the roof and mount it on...

:punk::clapping:Well here she is pretty much complete other than a few little things. Race tech springs,Progresive shocks,Ecliptech shift light,Koso volt gauge,Gear indicator,polished covers,scoops,rebuilt carbs,MSD 7mm red wires,plugs,Muscle seat,Marks 4 into 2,lots of powder coated parts,new...

So, as I stated in my Hi I'm new here post. I guess I should start a thread to document my progress with the Vmax. It is an 85 with about 50,000 on the clock when the engine spun a rod bearing after losing a cap bolt. My friend had this bike since new, and I have always liked the look of it. we...

i have a 85 vmax that i bought as a project bike. last owner blew a head gasket. ive had the heads resufaced and its all ready to be put back together. i just dont have the time or money. im asking about 1000 or best offer. to contact me please send emails to [email protected]

All that remains of the stock bike is literally the frame,motor and swing arm.......that's it...everything else is gone.....fake scoops...air box cover...the lot.. Its now sitting on 04 r1 forks in 70mm slab yokes with a billet 17x3.5" wheel. There's a matching 17x6" on it's way for the rear...

Well Thanks to PatMax I now have another project just what I needed.

I started this back in September and its almost done.. still needs a few modifications but its finally good enough to wear. There was a big Santa Claus bar crawl a couple nights ago and I decided to wear it to the bar with a Santa hat. It's " a new hope " style storm trooper armor with a...

I have been waiting to do this for 2 years... Thanks to Quarter Horse for your inspiration!!!!

Just finished building my CR500 Supermoto street legal beast. Been building it for the past year. its an 01 250 aluminum frame chopped up and modified to fit an 89 cr500 engine. Everything is new and or powder coated. should be a fun ride. Best of all, I can now start to build a VMAX!:punk...

A guy I work with was "schooling" me on the v4 engine and Vboost tech. He claimed that Harley was designing the new v4 in the late 70's and scrapped it selling some of the patents to Honda who then sold the tech info to Yamaha. Speculation or truth to this?

For anyone who's interested, I've been restoring a VMax for nearly the past 2 years. No real mods done to it other than a color change. It's going to be all black, except for the engine and fake air scoops, in order to emphasize the engine, which at the end of the day, is what the VMax is all...
