Help Support VMAX Forum:
If the front fender hits the radiator when the suspension goes down you likely have it too low internally. I can't imagine the amount of force it would take to get the front neck to push in enough to let it do that any other way. The heavily crashed 2005 I had at the track went end over end 7 times and still wasn't that damaged.
Sadly mine has clear evidence of an accident. Not only the small dent on the neck, but I have the damaged radiator, the old brakes, and all the angles of damage sings clearly how it was the accident. Even the dude told me "it had a small hit". I'm damned because even with the accident was maybe the very best option I had along the months I've been looking for an Vmax without horrendous modifications. Also the dude dropped loot, a big box with a full plastics set and a couple more of fake intakes and a gas tank and lights and stuff that was good. The price was fit to what I was taking, I cannot make a complaint except for the fact that it was NOT a """small""" hit. But he told me and I checked it all and I accepted it as it is.
I'm sure is not the suspension being low inside. The frame is obviously deformed and even without anything over it you can see the fender abnormally close to the radiator.

The bike doesn't fell or see insecure, but I enjoy deeply fixing these kind of things, so I'm doing it but it will take my time for sure.
Yesterday arrived the laser things I just bought for doing a laser measurement device for the Frame Warper. I'm baptizing it as that. It will measure square angles for the sides, castle angles, the axis along the frame from front to rear, and compare previous and post modification positions of the frame. I have like 20 laser heads that spit lines, crosses and points.

Wow, impressive, I was going to say I saw a frame for sale a few months ago, but are you going to try to straighten the one you have?
I have a workshop for my own motorcycles that I've spent years making it grow up. Some years ago I made a foldable painting room that stores behind a wardrobe with wheels that I use for storing tools and materials. It's made of wood, thick plastic film, magnetic strips for the door and for holding up a filtering sheet window and a fan as air extractor that goes to the outisde of the building by a feet's diameter tube made also of thick plastic film. It works with negative pressure and things come out shiny as candy.
This time I'm doing the Foldable Frame Warper with LSGD (LASER Straightness Guessing Device).
Sadly in Spain buying a new frame cost three times as creating the tool for fixing mine, and taking it to a workshop to do it costs double. Also I am like cursed because I usually manage somehow to end up giving my broken stuff to almost the worst worker available in the country, so nah, I'll be damned if I take my motorcycle to ANY workshop in my life. That's why I have mine.
Right now I'm fixing another toy I need for daily use, and I'm discovering a lot of messed stuff, you can check it out in the next link. It's almost completely unrelated to this forum so I hope I'm not breaking any rules, as I don't remember having read anything related to sharing under these circumstances:

I don't know where Cadique is, can you put more info about the place? I can't find it. It is in Guinea-Bissau?
