shift

I am seriously considering purchasing this shift light: http://www.caraddiction.co.uk/sld5.htm But I am concerned about a warning in the instructions: WARNING – The SLD5 shift light system is not suitable for capacitor discharge ignition systems where the green input wire would...

I've been checking into stand-alone shift lights. I don't like where the V-Max tach is located. It's hard to find a small tach with a shift light to attach near the speedo. But I found this on Ebay...

I've got a 2005 Mustang, 4.6, V8 that's going up in Horse Power Weekly. It's as hard to read the tach in it as the Vmax is because the tach's on the left side and positioned low. My left arm is always in the way. So, I'm looking at options and there's a lot of experience on this forum. Also what...

So, I just installed a raptor shift light, worked great, everything seemed setup properly, then I did some other work, went in for the night. Later that week, it rained. You know where this is going, right? So, came out last night, fired the bike up just to see how it was running since I just...

I normally shift to neutral when I come to a stop light and I know I'll be sitting at the light for a few minutes but I'm wondering if this is the best practice. So my question is what is best for the bike in terms of clutch/transmission wear and tear or for general safety ? Thanks in advance...

Progressive efforts to take firearms from the hands of law-abiding citizens may be rounding a corner in the arms race of government overreach. A new report from ProPublica and The New York Times suggests gun control advocates may be turning their attention away from the failed narrative against...

I installed the Wild Hair peg lowering mounts. It helped stretch out my legs but the pegs they sell were not very wide so replaced them with some Arlen Ness versions which are much wider and comfortable. However, the lowering mount has moved my foot outward slightly and I am kinda of...

Hi all, I have an 88 Vmax, lately I have been having trouble upshifting usually 1st to 2nd gear & occasionally feeling like rough meshing, false neutrals and trouble finding neutral while parking. Last night coming home from work I went to gear down from 5 to 1st coming up to lights and found I...

I had the bike out today for a ride. I had a nice open stretch in front of me sooooo I wound her up and went thru a few gears. I noticed that while under hard acceleration in 2nd and 3rd the bike felt as the clutch slipped for a split second a few times. The bike is an 85. It does not jump out...

Where do I tap into for the rpm signal for the shift light? Anyone running COPs with a stand alone shift light? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Well I need to fund more mods on the bike and since I am switching to a koso gauge I figured this isn't needed anymore, it's a cycle one off setup that includes a oil pressure gauge painted red with a red line (there is some scratches in the paint) a red raptor shift light and a custom bracket...

Wow finally back online in the new house n settled in. Anyway what are some options for shift lights? I was going to get the harlan but there is no order form on his site and read some not so good customer service .. I am on a budget so the pricing on the harlan was great are there other...

Step by Step instructions to install a Raptor Shift Light on a 1st Gen. It's much easier than I anticipated... 1. Remove seat, faux tank cover and disconnect negative battery cable. 2. Remove the air filter cover and air filter. You may want to stuff some towels into the carb...

So, I've only had my 2006 V-Max for about 3 weeks now. I've only put a couple hundred miles on it. Being a used bike, I obviously don't know it's history, but it appears stock. While riding along the other evening I decided to pass a car doing about 50MPH, I down shifted into 2nd to just...

Here is my latest project for my bike. I have a few small changes I want to make and I ll zip out another finished one This is going to mount on the right hand side next to the headlight mounting infront of the speedo housing. Todd

Hello, First time poster here... I had a bit of an accident(16 yr old girl not paying attention smashed my foot/bike) and it broke the shift lever and foot peg.. i'm not having any luck finding anything on the web as far as an aftermarket one... does anyone make a billet shifter for the VMAX...

I read lots post about couldn't shift into 2nd gear, but I haven't see any post regarding this issue yet. what happen was I was on 2nd gear around 6k rpm, then shift into 3rd, but it pop into neutral ( neutral light is not on), and I try to shift into 3rd again, I heard gear try to engage but...

I was wondering if anyone ever put one of these on a vmax and is it hard to do and what is the cost roughly,thanks.

New '85 Max owner here, and I'm trying to wire up a brand new Proform adj. shift light. It has 3 wires. Red to +, Black to -, and a green which goes to the tach output. It's for 8, 6, or 4 cyl engines, and I have clipped 2 loops for 4 cyl installations as per the instructions. I'm trying to...

Looking to add a shift light and possibly a small tach next to my speedo. For sure a shift light. I don't really see that much of a need for a tach if I have the shift light really. Something that will bolt on to a completely stock ignition and then to an upgraded ignition. With that...
