What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[jagco1]

You ain't kidding, I forgotten how good First Choice BBQ was, it's been a while since I've eaten there. I was riding by it on my way to meet up with you & my stomach said yummie

nice looking bike bro.

Put 8 plates and then end cap I painted on today. Bought the bike a year ago and been running with them off....sounded amazing, if you like the early muscle car sound. Not happy with the end cap on (sound), think will try with a comp open cap. Needs a little back pressure, but I really miss the muscle sound

Been out on the bike all day get in around 9:45 pm. Went up to the water front Annapolis MD.

I finally got the guts to have a go at the water pump seals/bearing. Thanks to the guys on the "how to" section, I had no trouble and all seems well. I'll find out tomorrow when I ride 120 miles round trip to work.

Went after another shotgun on my offending cylinder and I finally think I got it. All the cylinders are hot now.

That's good news Sean! I believe I read in another post that you have been using Seafoam which will help guard against future issues.
Your Bike is looking good!unk:

I got back from a week out of town at work, and was able to put in my new inner rear fender. In the process I noticed the plastic of the rear fender has taken a good beating. Guess I need to get new fender eventually.

Luckily the inner fender Danny sold me(thanks Danny!) was super solid and it allowed me to really tighten it all down well.

Put about 500 miles on the Max this weekend.

I put my new Galfer brake/clutch lines on that i got from Sean. Bled them all with my mightyvac first, then did a traditional bleed after that with no problems. Took a 25 mile spin to test em' and they work good and look even better.

Fired up the Max after a long winter's nap today. 72' in NY and most of the salt is washed off the road finally. Ran like a top. A quick 20 mile zip around town got me in the summer mood! Hope the weather is here to stay.

Ordered a thermostat and gasket today. After rebuilding the water pump a few days ago due to the weep hole weeping, I now have a leak at the thermostat??? ahrrrrrg!

Removed the carbs for a cleaning and changing out the jets (found out I was running a wee rich when doing my spring maintenance), found out my regulator was shot, changed the oil, and cleaned some stuff up. Next week hoping to replace regulator and add gas....... firing up for the season!!!!

After destroying my middle gear I decided to refurbish the bike.

Two months later, I've finished. This was a bare metal refurbishment. Everything sandblasted, rust treated, painted and polished by yours truly.

BTW, spraying a V-max frame is a *****.

Hope you like the look.

They look like Fatmax bags.

[gleno]

Yep. They are Fatmax bags and very handy they are.

 

[gleno]

You know, the best thing about the Fatmax bags is that every biker who sees the bags thinks Grandad is on board.

VERY Surprised when they get their butt handed back to them by grandad's V-max :rofl_200:

Hmmmm... if I could find a matching trunk, mount an extended fuel tank, and Swap out the heads, cams, and the running gear with Venture parts, and add decent wind protection, I could turn a Max into a halfway decent touring machine I bet.

 

[gleno]

Or your grandad's lounge room :rofl_200:
