What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[Traumahawk]

Yep, sounds good for sure.

Thanks Sean

Anyone ever take apart a Holeshot muffler to repack it? Ive got the rivets drilled out and pushed through and nothing is coming apart...

The bike is almost ready for my ride to Massachusetts. Just gotta get the CB antenna mounted, get the power hooked up for the GPS, and most important... mount that damn cup holder again!

Yes, they are a press fit. Best to cut out a large circle just barely smaller then the aluminum of the can to drive or press with.

I rode out with the one and only Marsmax to Twiggs Cycles in Hagerstown, MD. Looked at some eye candy, and found out that the new givi windscreen I got is absolutely aweful as far as I can tell. I might try to reinstall it again tomorrow with some different angles, but the beating my head took today has me thinking it'll probably just get returned. It's sort of ok up to about 40mph, but after that it's like two midgets standing on my shoulders running jackhammers on my helmet. Totally ridiculous and unbearable. It only works if I run the shield all the way up and look through it. I don't want to have to count on that. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

Sometimes it's just as useful to know what doesn't work....as to know what does.

Are you sure it wasn't from the girl in the dunk tank?

I really want it to work. The idea and the science is fantastic. Laminar flow on a large scale and what not. I might try an MRA screen if I can get one here in time, too, though.

I know my windshield works great even at 90+mph. Took her out on the interstate today for a short hop across town. Then again, I have an advantage of being so short, I am pretty much always looking through the shield, unless I make the effort to be as straight up as possible.

I'm moving my signals tomorrow to see if a different angle will give me better results.

Wait a minute, you're NOT allowed to build your front end like you want.
If you don't buy $50 mounting brackets from ME you are abusing your Vmax.

PS
Just so you know. I think your Max looks good now that the Windshield is back on and all the brackets those guys were crying about aren't even visible.

 

[Biker Dash]

all the brackets those guys were crying about

I think they are just butthurt because they don't have the balls to experiment and do something different.

Ain't my fault they've been nomming peanut butter & jealousy samdwiches!

Well finally found my 10 amp fuse blowing issue from what I thought was my turnsignals.. I will rewire that connection tonight.. I got tired of having bugs fly in my mouth..Hopefully this stops my electrical issues.. Now I just need to put on new throttle grip, and tape back up my turnsignal connections... Three more days until I am off for Thunder in the Valley, hopefully not working on my bike the whole time...lol

 

[Biker Dash]

Look at the friggin size of this trunk!

Just WOW! I could fit a dead body inside this thing if I folded it right...

That much closer to being all ready

 

[DMAN999]

^ Nice !!!
And yeah that bag is HUGE !!!

 

[DMAN999]

I got the starter clutch off.
It sounded like a shotgun blast when it finally popped off.

did a few rolling burners today. Just to welcome some new neighbors. lol

More fiddling with the windshield. It's almost right on. VERY picky about angle, but I had a nice ride with some clean air around my helmet. Pretty nice, but HOT tonight. I can't wait to ride to Newfoundland.
