What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[CaptainKyle]

Wow a day early! That was pretty quick from Arizona to Tennessee.

Yeah specially the way the Post office has been lately

 

[stevewgardner]

OK, mock me if you care to, but I am secure in my masculinity. I sent the miserable carburetor body with the air blockage that I couldn’t clear over to our buddy Kyle. I trust he will have better luck with it than I did.

Dagnabbit! I would love to mock you, but I don't know what for! Rats! It's hard to be a troll now days.

Walked past it smiling. Wishing it was warm enough to ride to work

 

[stevewgardner]

I did. It was 36 degrees when I left home...chilly, but nice. A bad day on my bike is better than any day at work. It makes me smile, too.

 

[Ghost Buffalo]

Waaaaaaall today I fired her up first time since July 2015 only required new battery..........now to bleed the clutch

 

[Jeff Jarquin]

Put some fuel stabilizer in my fuel for winter. Then rode down to my neighbors to check progress on his 72 gold duster.

 

[mjsinil]

Started rebuilding the rear break caliper and put a coat of paint on the heads to bring them back to black instead of grayish silver

 

[gentsvmax]

About 2p.m. I show up at my garage to do some work, there's the bike, she whisper's "****-it, lets Go!"
I rolled out of the garage, into the bright sunlight, 47degrees, turned the key, rocker switch to on, fuel pump
whines to a stop, hit the start button, she bark's to a steady growl out the Kerker. I rolled down the alley at a
steady lope, out of the alley in 2nd into traffic, immediate thumbs up from a guy in the passenger side of a
Volvo SUV. I'm about a mile down, already freezing and loving every minute of it! That made for a Beautiful
Christmas Eve day

Rode again today for about 5 hrs in 60+ degree weather, shown with my brother's old Kawi police cruiser
in the back area of a fab shop in the Rino area of Denver, some creative graffiti art back there.
My brother just got a new Harley, a full big dresser type, he still prefers that rice-grindin Hardley LOL.

 

[ouchez]

Wild MAX!!!!

 

[RoadMonkey]

Wired for a battery tender. No big deal.

 

[TK3333]

Installed Mini III windshield, 12.5"Progressives in back and Progressive springs with 1" lower kit up front.

I get chills every time I see your bike. Damn nice.

Thank you very much, a compliment from a fellow Vmax owner is especially appreciated, its just a little
different than the also welcomed compliments from people who don't own and know the soul of these
machine's.

Flushed and replaced brake fluid both front and rear, did the clutch also. Got a few small things powder coated. Went for a short blast around some back highways. Had to make sure v boost was still working.

 

[V4max]

Definitely a badass bike buddy. I've never rode a gen 2 but been riding gen1 for 10+ years and they are very fun.

 

[V4max]

Gentsvmax, what size tire do you have on that thing? Looks alot bigger then my 180

Something like this makes a difference (17" X 5-1/2" wheel, next to an OEM wheel)

I did the same thing yesterday minus the ride. Brake fluid front and rear didn’t look to bad but the clutch was black and nasty.

 

[V4max]

Fm, will that rim fit without any big mods? My bike has a 180 with a custom deep dish wheel and its pretty much to the max on clearance.
