What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[FootNote]

More of a last week thing.

But now that the VMax has its new tranny in it time to work on some more stuff. i.e. that Digital Tac that I bought a few months ago.

So me and my buddy spent about 4-5 hours installing it... lots... and lots.... of wires. Had a few hick-ups but we got it working.

Next day get ready to go for a ride with my buddys, **** wont start. Basicly the day before we killed the batter/flooded the bike after turning it on and off so much.

Unplugged the cords going to the sparkpulgs to dry it out some and still have to get the battery charged.

yay...

Changed handlebars to 2 inch wider, added lead to bars to kill vibes, soldered the crimp, changed turn signals and tail light to led. Changed out fan switch and added water wetter to cool more , its hot in louisiana. Sent airbox to morley for mods. Added ufo complete 4 into 2 system. Waiting on ufo braided lines to improve brakes, then i will jump on the suspension.

Washed, waxed the archangel getting ready for the Red Cross' ride for the red tomorrow. This is be my 5th year. Talk about some nice scenery, good bbq and people.

I also installed a Noisehush N800, bluetooth headset/intercom on my helmet. They normally go for about $100, but I got it off of Amazon for $44. After syncing up with my cell, the thing works great. Much better than expected. I'll probably do a write up on it after the ride tomorrow.

Purchased bar end mirrors. Black ( to match the Bullitt faring and the new levers). I'll have to find a new home for the polished billet bar ends I made years ago---- oh wait--- I 'll bet they will fit ( Or I'll make them fit ) on the Valkarie and get rid of those cheap plastic bare ends that Honda used ( so did Yamaha ).

Installed new PC680 battery, did the R/R upgrade, and also installed the HID kit. Man I love this forum, my wallet doesn't, but I do.

 

[mr.maxx]

clutch MC all rebuilt and bled. got a nice seat cover from Mr Morley......looks WAY better now!!!

not shure what to tackle next:ummm:....so many issues:rofl_200:

 

[wood1]

New tins on a week or so ago, replaced right front caliper, black Superbike handlebars, Vista cruise, bought a carb sync tool and used it, what a difference... shot-gunned the carbs, might lean out the needles a bit to try that, still cutting out 5-6000 rpm. Polished the crap out of the tins, look very nice.

Put my case guards from Kyle on the other day. Great fit and finish! As always, Kyle is great to deal with.

 

[Dr.n2o]

Pulled my carbs off today. Got one all cleaned up and finished. Gonna try to get another done tomorrow. Haven't touched them in about 12 years and there wasn't really anything to do in there. we'll see with the other 3. Gonna do the c o p mod from Gannon soon...can't wait !

 

[Lew L]

UPDATE: They work ok---- but look much better.

I made up some led bulbs for my indicators. They are old Harley bullets with glass lens.
They fill the lens and are very bright. Should look good, and be maintenance free. :biglaugh:

Nice one Baz! Those are awesome.

I called about my bike on friday and was told that 3 full weeks after submitting the completed paperwork they still haven't heard a thing from the govt department in Canberra that issues the needed approval...

Nice work guys! There are a lot of talented and motivated guys here on VMF, makes a lazy slob like me want to do something creative!:biglaugh:

 

[gentsvmax]

I started it !!! new motor. should I see vapor coming from the breather tube when the motor gets hot?

 

[Rand-5107]

Unless your motor was run in on a dyno it takes a couple of hours to seat the rings and run the bearings in. When you say hot I take it to mean warmed up. Look in the oil level window to make sure your oil is not milky from coolant. Hope it seals up good and runs trouble free for a couple hundered thousand miles. Rand.
