What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[dekberg]

Rode to work. Stopped for gas and had a Harley rider takes some pics of my headlight with his phone. Nice having Harley riders tell you you have a badass bike. Hail to the MAX.

started cleaning up the clutch master for a rebuild. hope it works or need a newer one if this is too worn. will be accompanied with a new SS line for the clutch. pics to follow if it works.

I've done today what I've done every day for the last 4 months, walked past the max parked in my garage longing for the weather to get warmer.

Todays the day, forecast calls for 65 degrees and sunny clear skies....this baby is rolling out of the garage for a ride today!!!

 

[tugla]

here are a few pics of the paint job, just gave it a quick spray to clean it up.

thanks man, but couldnt leave well alone. gave it another coat today and well, it all lifted. paint wrinkled and i can wipe it off as it i put on paint stripper.....:bang head::bang head: not happy, dam clutch master is killing me. :damn angry:

 

[SpecOps13]

Guess additional coats should be done thinner and sooner...:ummm:

Good Luck Man....

Well, looks like slow leak of front tire wasn't fixed when shop reinstalled tire and swapped out the valve. Time to take it off (the wheel) and put it in the bath tub!

Punched out the steering stem bearing races. Yes, the bottom one is a PIA. Thanks to Dan-O for posting the idea of grinding a little recess in the neck a while back. Without him suggesting it I would still be down in the basement trying something stupid, LOL.

Thanks Danny

would a blind bearing puller work?

Not sure, never tried one of those. Do they make one big enough to tackle the lower race for the steering bearings? Would the taper on the race be an issue?

I dont really think so on this application. I also have more bearings ordered I am selling these for 33.50 shipped any where in the states they are aftermarket good quality & come with all seals. I sold my last set today but will have more in Tuesday.

Makes sense esp if there is no lip to grab.

Nice bro! Ditching the oem trailer light makes a big difference in looks

Are you using one from harbor freight? How much was it? Is it worth buying for just wheel bearings.

 

[gamorg02]

I got it as a gift but I know it was on sale. I think $20. Id get it again for sure, I've used it on wheel and steering bearings.
