What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[satariel666]

So sad to hear this Voltage, I had hoped that you may have been able to repair your Max....she sure was a beauty! I hope you and your wife make a speedy and full recovery.

This is what was left of Voltage's bike....it was a brutal impact!

Ho did I missed that? :ummm:

Terrible!

 

[Redbone]

Damn Voltage, so sorry to hear of your accident! I hope you and your girlfriend heal well and quickly!

 

[gamorg02]

this is the first i've heard of it, man quick recovery voltage!

 

[one2dmax]

Bummer! Hope you get well soon!

 

[voltage]

thanks for the wishes , really apreciate it .
So far the healing is doing fine but still need a lot of time to recover.

 

[naughtyG]

Yes mate, best wishes for a speedy recovery, hope it all goes well and that you get to riding again soon!

if i did would people be interested in passing it around to check on their 'o-rings' without having to drop the pans? say like $5-$10 and pay for shipping to the next guy?

Coprunner tried using a bore-scope but I think he had problems getting a good 360' view of the o-ring.

i havent done the oring fix yet, but for the price and time of the bore scope isnt it easier just to do the fix :ummm:

 

[satariel666]

Around 130$.

That was the biggie for me! If you're lucky, and the gasket is stuck more to the pan, then it's not so bad but mine was welded to the base and it was a SOB to get all the little pieces off! :bang head:

+1000. Laying on the floor while doing it doesn't make it any more fun either. I'm jealous of you guys with a lift!

I did the "Crimp Fix". Or at least I think I did.
I found the crimp easily enough, but since I have never soldered before I just put a ****-ton of solder all over it and taped it back up. I don't have a voltage meter so I really don't know if it made a difference, but it made me feel better and I'm not too worried about it.

I also put on some cool looking chrome reservoir caps and chrome oil filler cap, replaced the rear signals with some nice aluminum ones and replaced some bolts from a SS bolt kit. That's all I had time for.

ps. Noob owner/mechanic question-What/where are the Upper Manifold Boot Clamps?
