me too. except on the helicoils.
New rotors are on and calipers are mounted. I just need to get a couple of locking nuts (huh-huh) and some more blue loctite since Heretic accidentally jizzed mine all over the place. :jerk it:
I'll post some pics tomorrow!

Bike's checked all over, gave it a good wash, quick polish on the paint, then rode it to work - all A-ok.
I'm all packed and ready for the morning, should be on the road with cowboy by 8am.
Deal's Gap here we come - woohoo! My first time inland by road into the US of A really, all other places were flown into. I can't wait.

:rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200: It seems lately that Heretic is taking the heat for a lot of things that have derailed in the Omaha area!!
I wonder....:hmmm:

I rode to work yesterday (as I had dropped my van off for some service), hit wet roads followed by some minor rain (last 5 minutes of the ride for the rain)..... now I have about 4 hours of detailing to clean the bike back up.... this is why I hate riding in rain :bang head:
Okay, here are a couple of pics. Lesson #1 for this mod. Did you know that you can bleed the system faster when you tighten the banjo bolts? HOLY SHIT! lol

Hey Mark. Is that one of those "Objects In Mirror Are Scarier Than Shit" :biglaugh:
The calipers & hoses look good, though:eusa_dance:

Look'n good Mark. When i said i'd just bolt them on, i thought you'd clean them up first! I'd ask for my $$$ back. Can't believe someone would ship something dirty like that....what a bum that guy must be!

Yeah that same bum sent me an exhaust that had all this black sooty stuff on the inside. What the heck is up with that.:rofl_200:

LoL. The rest of the bike is dirty and I didn't want clean calipers jumping out. I cleaned the pistons/pads....good enough for me!

No kidding, eh? He may be a cantidate for a pig pen award or sump'n...
What a bum and an discrace to the V-max Community!

I guess the big question is how does it stop now???
Took a few dozen quick stops to get pads/rotors wearing together but now....fuck. The lever feel is just awesome. It's like my lever is directly connected to the caliper pistons. I was giggling like a little Fargo the entire test ride.

Are you using the stock masters?
Yes.

I still say this modification is a MUST for guys with older vmax's. Almost worth putting on older forks on your newer bikes - lol. Stock masters work perfect with them to give a very nice predictable feel.
