What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[Fire-medic]

Kyle, are you looking for a closed or open trailer? I posted an open trailer awhile ago I saw at an AMCA meet in Dania Beach that allowed you to drive-onto the u-channel which then was raised into road going position by a geared crank. It had two small detachable wheels on one side so you could put it onto its side and roll it thru a 3' gate & store it on its side, perhaps against the dwelling.

You don't want to get into a pissing match with a HOA. They can fine you and lien your property. You would be better-off getting something like I described, or find a more-secure storage yard.

I have an open trailer that works fine . I just still boil over when I think about my enclosed one getting ripped off.:angry flame:

I understand Kyle, it's not only just the trailer it's all the accesories needed to transport and the time to set it up how you want it. I've already have almost $300 in extras and much more I'm sure before I'm done.

Bolted all the powdercoated parts back on. Looks much better mostly black. Also, fitted 190/60/17 in a stock swingarm that I picked up from a local dealer. So far the tire looks like it will be just fine but I haven't had a chance to ride it yet. Still waiting for 2 parts to come back from powdercating and I need to make a screen to fit new scoops. Glad to say 98% done!unk:

Looks fast misiek. 98% done Sure you are. LOL. Until the bike is sold and gone you will never be done. ( The monkey devil has boosted your soul )

I have been using dynabeads for over a year on my ride. Besides a clean wheel having no lead weights, these things keep the tires balanced perfect as stated. I am very pleased with the dynabeads and highly recommend them. Very easy to install too.

How many oz. of beads are you running front and rear?

I'd like to know this as well. Is there a guide that you follow?

 

[gamorg02]

the website has a guide

Thanks. I just added it to my favorites.

 

[Redbone]

I believe it is this: 1oz for front and 2oz for rear.
I just ordered some because I do not want ugly a$$ weights on my sweet new Carrozzerias. I also have been seriously been considering buying a tire changer w/ wheel balancer.

static balancers are cheap, what type of changer?

The No-Mar Classic Ultimate has a included balancer, but it is pricey: http://www.nomar-secure.com/product_p/tc-classic ultimate.htm

The Cycle-Hill is probably more within my price range: http://www.nomar-secure.com/product_p/tc-cycle hill standard.htm


This one looks interesting as well, but I would only consider it if I was going to setup a tire changing business:

trimmed off the tips of the virago grab bar so that it'll fit the oem sissy rails. now just gotta decide if it's getting blackened, or if the rails and sissy are getting polished.

Got a TL 1000 running that has been sitting for years & then took my max for a ride to get some lunch & came home & test rode the TL & figured out it is hell on wheelies & would get me in trouble if I stayed on it to longunk:

i hear ya. if u were gonna go nomar tho its almost worth the derek weaver model. thats what i just got. the balancing stand is worth about $50 at HF (even less with a 20% coupon)

Nomar or the Derek Weaver, I don't think I'm following what you wrote? Seems like more than I want to spend, but I may talk to a buddy that we might split some of the cost. He does a lot of work on quads and might want to add tire changing to his services. May be worth it in the long run. How long have you had yours?

 

[Redbone]

Oh wait, I found some good info in this thread: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=21756

if i was going to spend $900 or so on the nomar setup, i'd consider the derek weaver one. I got the same one (theres 100 resellers of the same product with a different name). I got mine for under $1k with tax, shiping etc. it was an open box special. one thing to be careful of is that a lot of the 'derek weaver' resellers charge $150 delivery to residential locations. or $100 pickup fee. its kinda nuts but just do your research, might be able to find a local place and waive the fee. me and 2 other guys easily moved it when the top part was not attached.

i think it'd do quad tires great, assuming the rims are similar to motorcycle rims. just make sure your compressor is good enough. i had an 8 gallon 125 as said before and actually didn't think it was enough to break the bead but come to find out it probably was and i had forgotten what kyle said about the 2x4. i leave the pressure at around 65 psi and its enough to break beads and hold the rims 95% of the time. I ended up getting a campell hausfeld 15 gallon 200 psi which works awesome.

i've done maybe a dozen changes to practice and a dozen more including my harley, 8 sets of my buddys race tires and another few here or there. not advertising yet just letting word of mouth.

i've had it about 3 months now.
