What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[Redbone]

Just did my own little fender eliminator job. Far from perfect and already have plans to fix it.

edit: no idea why its uploading upside down.

Oh, I just thought you moved Down Under or something.:biglaugh:

 

[PDWeyand]

well I did nothing but make the wheels go round and round all over the town. I was here and I was there. Oh I filled the tank back up, 3 gallons after all the riding around.

Changed my dd clutch mod to pcw mod. And wired my raptor duel mode shift light. I ran the launch mode wire to green and white wire on turn signal relay. The green and white wire come's from the speedo sensor that let's the relay know the bike is moving so it can cancel. Im hoping when im seting still the light will be in launch mode and when i launch and move the tire the shift light will go to shift mode. launch rev box coming in the mail. i hope i can set it up to be duel. Hold me at set rpm to launch and blip when i get to set rpm for clutchless shift. Maybe electric shifter.

Built a truing/balance stand out of scraps of wood I had laying around. Got it square and level, but it's ugly. Used the stand and axle to find the true heavey spot of the wheel with the new rotors on. The new rotor bolts from Sean look great. They and a polished lip made it look really decent. Mounted the new Metzler z6 and seated it on the wheel. A wee bit more pressure than suggested to get it to pop. Getting close to cruising with radials. I can't wait.

Puled my clutch apart & added the extra plate & bead blasted my steels & put my stainless engine bolt kit on.

scheduled a date with the mechanic to look at it

 

[PDWeyand]

well I can claim I refueled the bike twice, burned out what was in the tank about 60 miles topped off and burned out another 2.5 gallons, another 80 miles. Topped the tank again and brought it home, all ready for the next ride. I am having too much fun riding, just wish I could find another max to run with.

 

[VMax-Mike]

This came in the mail today. I hope it fit's good.

I like the look but i think it needs trim at the top or maybe paint the tank hammerd charcoal gray. any idea's ?

Back in my younger days taking some art classes, they drove home the point that from a perspective of human psychology, anything bright draws the eye to it. In your case, the knee plates and radiator are now the brightest most distinctive design element on your bike, so you see those parts MORE than anything else. They're nice parts for sure, and that might be the goal of the covers. That said, if you want them to blend in more, either brighten everything else up, or darken those parts.

Where'd you source the parts? Nice quality based on your pics.

Dropped my Fork off at a Machine Shop to have the Stripped Bottom Bolt Removed so I can finish replacing the Fork Seal and install the Progressive Spring.
Hopefully they won't have any trouble getting the Bolt out.

Changed my fuel filter today- took about 5 minutes. Old filter had some debris. About 10 k on by vmax.

 

[Sonoran6]

Saved $100 by bending my gear shifter back after some idiot (me) didnt put the kick stand all the way down and she fell

 

[hollywood]

paint thinner to remove PO's rattle can flat black monochrome engine and frame & everything else paint job. Sprayed new hi-temp base coat in gloss black w/satin alum detailing on machined alum. parts. Looks pretty decent as long as it doesn't bubble up when the heat gets to it. Next, paint the body work

 

[DMAN999]

Picked my Fork up from the Machine Shop, they got the Bottom Bolt out without any problems.
I'm going to disassemble it tonight or tomorrow and then order a new Bolt, Copper Washer and anything else I think needs to be replaced.
So I should be able to have it back together by Wed/Thurs of Next Week.
