Hey guys, I have a gen 1 vmax that is almost done. Just waiting for the cbr 600 tail light to come in.. Anyway.. I was wondering what you guys are using as your storage solution. I'd love to be able to carry some general items with me that is not in a backpack. I do a lot of videography...

Here's an interesting thread on garagejournal.com for a storage shelving unit, which could easily be used for bikes, or whatever heavier, bulky items you need to store. The shelves are cable raised and lowered. He uses an electric cable hoist. The guy used unistrut and their various fittings...

I'm getting ready to put my Vmax up for the winter, I just filled it with gas, the manual says there is 3.9 Gallons capacity. Sta Bil says 1 oz for 5 gallons. I don't use what most like "Seafoam" so I am going to use Sta Bil, is there anyone who uses Sta Bil in their Vmax over winter and how do...

My vmax has been under a cover in my garage for the last 6 years. The garage is insulated, but not heated. The extent of winterizing the bike was to drive it to my house, park it, and cover it. Life got in the way and I haven't been able to justify the cost of insurance/riding gear until...

I'm looking for saddle bags for my 2015 VMAX...I prefer the hard case look but can't find them anywhere. What is the best, waterproof, storage for the Gen2 vmax? I'm just concerned about them "flapping" in the wind and scratching the bike?

Hey guys, Do these look a lean to you? I wanted to get a gauge on what to look at come next season.

OK, I've been lusting for a Vmax since I rode a friends way back in 1992. Just bought a 2002 with under 9k miles Tuesday night. :biglaugh: Had to haul it home in a blizzard but 2 days later it was 70 degrees! What can I say, it's Nebraska. My question is, is there a pouch etc on a Vmax to...

Hey Guys , I think I may have to many bikes but have a hard time parting with any of my machines . Long term I am going to get a house with a garage , the house I have I put in to sheds , one is a 8x12 fully insolated and one 12x20 uninsolated . Both sheds are packed with 6 bikes and 2 quads and...

For various reasons, my 2006 vmax has been been in rough storage for just over three and a half years. It has not been turned over once during this time, and even worse it was put into storage with no stabilization (at the time I thought it would be there for only a couple weeks). My intent...

Hi, I am new to this form and I am wondering if anyone knows of any storage solutions? I am going on a 3000+ km roadtrip and need to pack some stuff. Really don't want to wear a backpack. Is there a rear seat bag that will mount? If so can you still get to the fuel tank? Any help is appreciated.....

What do you guys do for storage? I am looking for ideas for a semi-permanent storage on the luggage rack (OEM) of my vmax. Preferably something that can be locked - not a big fan of putting something on it, but I need the ability to run errands and pick things up.

I have a 1996 v max and up till I shipped the bike from overseas it was running like a top. But after being in a crate for 2 months void of oil and gas it will not fire up. It has a fully charged battery cranks just fine but does not fire. Filled with fresh oil and gas, I removed the spark...

Hey All, I've purchased and installed an all in one speedo unit. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the instrument cluster where the original tach is. I'd like to make it into a locking storage area, like a glove box, keeping the original outer housing, any thoughts on this, how to do...

I've been thinking about this for years. I didn't like the idea of Saddlebags with the upswept exhaust. That's even worse now that I've installed Marks 4-2 Exhaust. I had a single compartment bag that strapped to the sissy bar but it was a pain in the back for my wife having a buckle in the...

New Vmax owner with my first post... I just picked up a 2002 Vmax that was supposedly in storage for 3 years. Anything unique to the Vmax that I need to do for bringing it out of long term storage? ....over and above what one would normally expect to need to do to get it road ready again...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on what to look for while I go through restoring my 85max. The bike went into storage in great shape about 12 years ago and came out of storage looking almost as good. Most of the Aluminum parts plus the engine has corrosion. I blasted the entire...

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here but I've learned a lot! I have a question though, there is no damn storage on the Vmax (I have a 94) and I was wondering what some of you guys do? I don't want anything big, just a little bag that would be easy to hide so I can put my smokes and phone and some...

I am considering buying a 1986 Vmax, 11k miles, Kerker pipe, been in storage 4 years. I have zero mechanical skill (but at least I know it). Anything I should be watchful for or best to leave it alone? Glenn:ummm:

So I went over to the parental units house and grabbed the max out of the basement. I took a short video of me starting it for the first time. I believe this is the first video of the bike. It's just an iPhone video so it's not the best but it works. Ok so the sissy bar is off now as my wife...
