tank

Hello All, I am looking for some ideas for a new tank bag for my 04 Max, currently I have a suction cup style system but after about 30 minutes of riding the small suction cups let go and the only thing holding it on is a neck strap and good luck. Anyone with a tank bag that works well...

http://www.instructables.com/id/Electrolytic-Rust-Removal-From-A-Motorcycle-Gas-Ta/ This is the route I'm going to try on my 85 vmax before coating the inside. I'll document and post the results.

How about this for using an old vmax faux tank?? LOL

i I HAVE FOUND A TINY BIT OF RUST STARTING TO DEVELOP IN MY GAS TANK , RIGHT WERE THE LOW FUEL LEVEL SENSOR BOLTS IN THROUGH THE BOTTOM ! ..:bang head: .. ALSO JEFF " FINETUNE FROM THIS FORUM HAS MULTIPLE V-MAXS , AND ONE HAS A LOT OF RUST IN THE TANK , SO WE ARE WONDERING WHO MAKES REPLACEMENT...

So, what is it?

The two main bolts that secure the gas tank to the frame are missing on my bike. The parts fich shows they take rubber isolaters and washers. These are the bolts that are directly to the left and right of the fill neck. Thanks!

Does anyone know this dimension? Thanks in advance :biglaugh:

OK so I'm in the process of trying to bring my dad's old vmax back to life... and I was hoping today was the day I'd get'er started back up! Turns out I was wrong. The bike can't draw fuel out of the tank... I'm not sure why, but I even disconnected the fuel filter and tried to draw some by...

39 miles per gallon last tank, almost all highway at 70-90 mph. Not bad for higher speed riding on the highway. In town I ve been averaging 34-35 mpg. Todd

So I have an 03 with the matte black. Sexy as all get out, but the warning sticker for break in procedure left a bullet proof residue on my paint. I have tried soaking it overnight with a rag coated in paint safe goo remover, I've tried heating it, yelling at it but nothing works. Now I just...

I did this mod for under $15, and made some nice room for the tank, regulator and expansion chamber for my air shifter setup. It would also make a good spot for tools as well, and now can be locked up under the faux tank. First I bought a 25oz, aluminum sports bottle from eBay, then I bought a...

This was posted by a good friend of mine who is a Harley Mechanic. He notes below not to piss off the wrong girl. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn, this is gas with approximately one pound of sugar we drained out of a fuel tank today"

Is anyone on the Forum using one of these to increase gas capacity? I looked at their Website and my first blush response was, are these things any good and do they work as claimed? It looks like you would need a passenger sissybar/backrest to mount it against. I would like to go on trips on my...

I just bought a 85 with a 97 PCW 1260 engine and a MADMAX rear end. I was told by the local yamaha dealer to look at fuel filter for rust because the VMAX is known to have rust problems expectially with the stupid ethonal. I asked the owner about it and he said he has had no problems... Well...

Can't say I've seen one of these before, looked pretty cool so I snagged it up. Figured I use it next time I had a VMAX with a messed up faux tank, cheaper than buying another one! :biglaugh...

A little surprise my friend did for me. Was extremely pleased with how it turned out. What do you guys think? The cap came from an old war plane. It used to have a concave shape to it to fit on the bird, so he was only able to flatten it out so much. I just need to find a rubber piece or...

Thought I would start a new thread cause old ones get boring to read through. I sealed my gas tank recently because of surface rust, I followed a sticky I found here to get the tank out which involves removing the exhaust mufflers. I had to take the tank out again today because I was to lazy to...

Hi gents, I am a bit down today because I finnally got my tank all sealed and back in ,I found it to be a prick of a job especially getting the mufflers back on by myself (might be easier with two people). Anyway I got everything bolted up and then I poured in a litre of fuel in(glad it wasn't...

Hi fellow maxers, I took my tank out because when I drained my carb bowls a few weeks ago I noticed rust coloured particles in the fuel plus one of the bowls (front left) wouldn't even drain. Anyway I bought a KBS rust repair kit for fuel tanks but I dont see much rust in the tank just a couple...
