What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[fogman62]

Installed the aftermarket vboost controller with lite,rode for an hour just to keep testing the lite:rofl_200:

 

[jagco1]

Install the new hoses today and just set down and look at the bike to see what else I can do to her.

 

[DMAN999]

Installed my new to me speedo and test fitted my Fork Braces.
I still need to have the top tabs made up and then welded to the frame.

I also installed the lower profile V-Star mirrors and sat on the bike to see how I like them.
I Like them a LOT !
I can see out of them as good or better than the stock mirrors.

You should be up running soon...

^ Thanks Guys !
It definitely getting closer everyday.

I'm taking my time though.
I won't be able to ride until Spring anyways.
I will be dropping off my tins for paint with Matt Donnelly tomorrow.
He's painting them for free so he can take as long as he wants, LOL.
But I know it will really start looking good again once that is done and the yare re-installed.

I started it & realized it is missing some. Its been sitting in the corner for a while now cant even remember the last time I rode it. I guess I need to get it out and ride it a little

Time to ride, let the out doors air hit you in the face.

let us know how it goes.

 

[adambweird]

I figure 152.5 mains, 2nd clip on the needle and 177.5 paj2 should be a pretty good starting point.

Sounds good to me.

I found a dyno in my area to be able to get some afr and power numbers but its gonna have to wait til next year...

 

[retrostude]

Finished my radial upgrade project and rode her to work. Metzeler Z8's. Kosman weldup 5.5 x 17 rear. Rides like she's on rails! Plus I like the polished look better than the stock black ones (2005). Also did the Motodynamic LED taillight mod- made me nervous cutting up that inner fender and tabs but I really like the way it cleaned up the rear.

[Traumahawk]

I use Wind River Harley Davidson in Lawton Ok. They are maybe 7 mins from my house.

I like the look of the wheel what size is it, is it on the a stock vmax wheel. Man me tripping I kosman wheel thanks for posting this. I like a lot.

Do it give you a harder ride.

I rank radials the #1 improvement to make on a VMax. You only need a modded rear wheel for your radial tire, you can use your stock front wheel, it's not optimal width for the radial tire bead, but if you stay w/a 110 width, it can work.

I do not notice a 'harder ride.' I do notice better steering, not as-much wandering in the upper-third of the speedo (anywhere, really) and just a more-pleasant riding experience.

What was the turn around time on the wheel, Do I have to buy another and send to kosman. I may do this mod. I really like the look of the stock rims just me mind you. Do you have the swing arm notch for the tire.

Man I'm happy with having 170 shinko tires on the bike that was a very strong plus. I did take the bike out today when my wifie lift man it hurts to ride. But very nice day in MD.
