Appears the forum is undergoing a make over. I was kindly asked to post up my VMax(s). List what has been done with them and so on.
So, let me introduce myself, folks call me Pig. I hail from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Poor law enforcement and miles of uninterrupted road is a VMaxs' best friend.
First is my 2007 Yamaha VMX1200. Bought it used with 19000 on it. The overall look is stock. The engine is stock. The lights have all been LED converted. The turn lens and rear tail lens all have been changed out to smoke clear lenses. I have Brake-away throttle locks on both of my Max's. I dont plan on really modifying the bike over its stock form.
Next is my 2009 Yamaha VMX1700. This bike popped up at the right price at the right time. I purchased this bike from a local dealer for about private sale cost. My first question was the recalls and if they were done. Since it was a Yamaha dealer, they printed me off the vehicle service sheet. Since the oil pump and throttle wiring were replaced, we were good to go. The bike had 5800 miles on it when I took possession. I eliminated the floppy turn signals from the bike opting for an integrated rear tail/brake/turn signal setup and a front running/turn halo set up. The headlight bulb is also LED. I did end up removing the bar end mirrors as looking at the ground to see what was behind me was not at all good. I would like to find a black set of mirrors for the bike but for now, the chrome-ys I have will suffice. This bike too, has the Brake Away throttle lock. I do plan on getting an ECM to remove all the limiters but plan to keep the bike looking close to stock as possible.
And some with the bikes together.
