My new max

[The mongrel]

So, i went on a vmax about 8 years ago and have had an eye on one of my own ever since....i'd decided to get one next year, but a little beauty caught my eye and resistance was futile :biglaugh:

So with a little help from you guys. Tuesday was the day.
Its a very very clean 2000 full power model in carbon


meet mr max




those are kilometers




I'm normally a matt black paintwork guy but i do like this carbon finish

 

[marsmax85]

Looks clean congrats !!

 

[The mongrel]

Never seen this resevoir before





And a couple more for the road

Nice looking ride, welcome to the forum!

 

[Nubicon]

What tail light do you have? I noticed you don't have the normal V-max tumor stolen from the roof of a 1970's police car! Any more pics of it?

 

[OKCVmax]

Sweet looking bike! Now go out and ride it! Lol

 

[Fire-medic]

Interesting that it has another clutch lever assembly, featuring adjustment, and a cross-brace for the handlebars, it appears. Normally, people replace the levers in pairs, to gain adjustability if they have small hands (like The Donald) but it looks like the front brake master cyl is stock. It looks clean though, enjoy it. Less than 9K miles, you are barely broken-in!

Very clean machine there, that should be good for many many hours of grin-inducing fun.

Cheers chaps


Nubicon, i dont know what the lens came off, it does look better than stock though
Heres a pic




Just fitted some knee protectors.....cos they look badass :biglaugh:






Need to get rid of them stock turn signals....i'v already got four of them in a box lol

 

[The mongrel]

Fire-medic. Yeah cant remember the last time i saw a generally clean looking with odd levers.

And yes mate the bars are braced, nice billet brace too

 

[Foxviewnet]

Congrats Mongrel...beautiful bike! Bundle up and go for a ride and a big grin. :clapping:

 

[davesax36]

They look so good when they're clean. Great job.

 

[SpecOps13]

Cool Bike. Welcome to the Forum Bro.

 

[Fire-medic]

Many people complain about the stock turn signals. I don't mind them. An easy to replace item for personal aesthetic gratification.

I'd say that taillight lens is a replica of a 1960's Triumph, or a 1960's Japanese 'Stanley' luminaire. You should throw-on a 'cat's face' lens and piss-off all the vintage British bike riders around you. That was a popular accessory in the 1960's when I began my two-wheeled time in the saddle.

Fire-medic LMFAO. hell no!

I like those smoked LED combined tail light and turn signal units


Looking at my tail light again, i agree those circles in the middle are very 60's brit bike

Here's a link to the CBR tail light mod. I did mine, and love it.
