Hi,
I just purchased an 04 V-Max in very nice shape. I have Bike Acquisition Syndrome (BAS); the other machines currently in the stable include an 01 F4i, 77 GS 750, 73 Titan T500, and an 01 Voyager 1200. But I've wanted a Vee ever since they came out in 1985....to me, biking is primarily about performance, and from what I've read, the Vee is hard to beat that way (at least stoplight to stoplight). This particular bike has had some mods done to it, but the PO wasn't able to explain any details (he said the mods were done by the original owner). Here's what she looks like. There?s a braided line coming from the oil filler cap; I assume this is a modification to allow better crankcase breathing (?).
It came with a set of headers, but these look like they'd be exceptionally loud:
Also, there was a box of parts, but I don?t know what this is (Dyno Jet was mentioned):
It'll be several months before I can take her out...too much ice and snow right now.
I'm glad I found this forum; it looks very active, and lots of great contributors.
