New Member and new Vmax owner

[bluevmax85]

Hi all, I purchased my first Vmax about a month ago and was browsing around to get more info. This forum seemed to pop up alot in my searches so here I am.
My bike: Blue 85 Vmax with 27k miles. It has a couple of mods like Hindle pipe, carbs (I was told), and Corbin seat. Since I bought it I put new tires on, new plugs and a front brake light switch. Should be ready for Pa. inspection. I was a teen when these bikes came out and I vowed one day I would own one. Well, one popped up recently and I pulled the plug. I can say this thing exceeds my expectations as far as acceleration goes. After riding 500cc 2 strokes I didn't know if I would feel that rush on a street bike, well it's all smiles when I twist my wrist. I have a few questions regarding mods the previous owner had done. I'm sure theres enough knowledge here to answer my questions. Should I post those here or in another forum?

Wow, that's nice. And that blue and the blue of the car behind it are very fine.

Nice looking scooter.... From the pix there are a lot of mod's to it.... It's ok, that is the fun part of owning an older scooter. The previous owners get to dump $$ down the carb throats and you get the benefits....But, as a 27 year owner I can attest that Black is the best stealth color....
