1st Gen V-Max Pre-Storm Run

VMax Year

85

I took the psyco out today for the prescibed by-monthly circulation run. All my friends know I recently built a SICK,WICKED, STUPID, Powerful Torque monster R&R124TC Harley E-Glide.
When we go out and I break out the Max, we all agree on one thing.
Ride, run, rip or cruise there's nothing out here like the Vmax!

That looks great, good job. Any shots during re-work of the shock mounts?

Thank you FM! Yes , I have a flash drive out in the garage with the whole build on it.
I'll post up the pics next couple days, on call for work at the moment..
All bolts are M-10, the top mounts are tapped clear through.
The right side top mount bolt can be seen in this pic.

Where did you get the *** end plastics. They really look cool

For the slower people (ME) what's going on there? How wide is that wheel and how does the shaft reach in there. Is it stretched?

Thank ypu! I wanted a belly pan and filler panels to hide the open spaces created by the nature of an extended swing arm. NOBODY is making such body work unless you want to pay some big buck to have them laid out in fiberglass.
One day, going down an alley in a work vehicle trying to dodge all the garbage can's, I hit one. I hit another going faster, and thought, THATS IT!
There's my belly pan and panel's, the f%^&Kin trash can is indestructable!
I started checking Craigslist, bought two, laid out my templates in cardboard and aluminum foil, traced and cut, and BOOM, body work!
That 2nd pic is my first cut out of the trash can.
And 3rd one is the bike just after the wide wheel install, like a new fawn learning to stand LOL.
That last pic is an "alteration" of the belly pan for width.

Thank you! Yea, its a MadMax Enterprise 300mm set-up. It started out at a 3" extention, room for the MadMax 5 gal tank.
I had an output shaft spline failure that required a reconfigured u-joint and longer arms. Now its at 5 7/16'.
That long wheel base gives it a cool stance, smoother and more stable ride, especially at highway speeds.

I've got a couple of the MM 300 kits here if anyone is interested. These are for sure not cheap kits! We repaired both with new gears in the offset box (one of the weak points of the kits).
