What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[CaptainKyle]

Took the driveshaft out of the latest one so it would roll and then stored it and one more in my enclosed trailer trying to free up room in the garage. After I finished that I went to Harbor Freight and bought a new 72 inch bottom toolbox

I already made a deal to trade the whole bike for 2 more and some cash

....."CK Motors".....

I need a 1995 VMAX for today.



I spent just over two hours this morning, with a two stage snow blower clearing the driveway and the gift that the plows left on the apron.

 

[CaptainKyle]

Done a little paint work and fired the old 98 up and let it run a little. Still was a little cold so popping a little them flat sides can be temperamental when cold

That’s a very cool looking colour!!!
I’m playing with the idea of moving away from the grey this winter when it’s apart
My other thought was to just paint and arc reactor on the air box cover

if you look at the bike from the back it kinda looks like iron man

 

[Coastal Grey]

I’m in the winter dull drums just had a load of wood dropped to build more decks will get max in the barn on the hoist this weekend hopefully very busy right now pulling lath and plaster from a room in our house

Hubby got to use up more gas.

 

[CaptainKyle]

Threw the old 94 on the lift put forkbseals in it took the hose clamp exhaust hangers off and cut the old brackets off the pipes and installed new hangers, painted the exhaust and some other cleaning and switched out the body set.

Not a whole lot going on Max wise
With a new load of wood for decks midweek
And on the weekend 3 deep cycle marine batteries , 3 100 watt solar panel systems and 4 natures head composting toilets I’m feeling really light and partially violated…….all for a good cause!

cheers

Not a lot of work being done in the Muscle shop but in the personal side of the shop have had a lot going (and will be for quite a bit this year). Building a new house and going to try and renovate the shop at the same time. Got rid of 2400lbs of simple crap today and have plenty more to go! Didn't even get into the metal pile yet lol! I'm getting way to old to keep hauling this much around on a regular basis lol (or even one off basis). Later this week I have to move one remaining car (my old 69 Bonneville) in order to make space inside for the materials for the house (going to buy most of it before the pricing goes back up like they are predicting).
We had probably 1000 trees removed (most were small) to clear the land again (this was from 30 years of letting it grow where it wanted). Starting to make some headway for sure!

Having a hard fight to remove the OEM mufflers of my Maxx. All screws are loose or removed - mufflers are easy to wiggle up and down - but not moving out. .....
