What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[82ndCowboy]

I cleaned out the garage.
Hung some vintage art and a tribute to Arthur, a great Fast bastard on a Gen 2.
Took me all day because I spent more time on VMaxforum.net than I did cleaning.

 

[1badmax]

Have the brochure from my first 85 VMax of Pee Wee Gleason also in my garage. Need one of my Gen 2 2016 now.

Cleaned up the tail area today thanks to Sean! Still some tweaking to do just ran out of time.

Thanks a bunch Sean!!!

Before and After...

Nice 80 degree day today.
So I took the wife. For a ride.100 miles of 2 lane country roads. Stopped at a state park. To enjoy the fall colors. Then home to fire up the grill.Yet another good day. To own a Vmax.

 

[1badmax]

Max is in the shop getting an Akra mid-pipe in place of the cat. Here in Tulsa it was 85 so road about 50 miles on the Raider. Adding some additional or deeper scars to scrapes that were already there.

The day after I shot Youtube, I knocked down my bike by myself ... What a terrible day!

A memorable day and the worst day.



have a nice ride all :-D

Picked up bike from shop Saturday(Akra mid pipe) and getting set to send ECU to Tim to get flashed. Then we will see what this baby is going to do???

Mounted a Puig windscreen on my Beast. It looks great and makes a noticeable difference.

Your bike looks a lot cleaner now from the rear. I went a step further with the license plate with bolt lights to illuminate it.

Surely that number plate is legal when leaning over in a right hand bend?

Yes Sir, it's good and legal in any bend here in the Commonwealth of VA. The big stipulation, of course, is that the plate must be illuminated to pass state inspection.

That depends on the officer that pulls you over. The law is ambiguous at best in many states including my state of Georgia. Here's Virginia's mounting stipulations:

1. So as to prevent the plate from swinging,

2. In a position to be clearly visible, and

3. In a condition to be clearly legible.

You can still be cited for improper mounting because when mounted sideways the plate is not "clearly legible" as the officer would have to turn his head sideways to read it.

It would also be impossible to read it if it were raining as the spray would in all likelihood completely obscure it vs. it's regular position.

People are cited for it all the time in many states. People who contest it almost always lose.

Thanks! I'll remember to always carry my badge then and hopefully be afforded professional courtesy. Of course, it always helps that one doesn't ride the streets like an idiot, just saying. I've run into a bunch of them both on and off duty. Thanks again and be safe out there!!!

Talked with Tim yesterday and sent the ECU off today. He will have it by 3PM tomorrow. Work the magic man...

Probably my favorite v-max, and possibly my favorite bike period, besides a Vincent Black Shadow.

That back end looks like it came off and M109R.

Slick looking bike, man.

Wow love the way it looks, are those body panels and rear end custom made? It looks like that was how it was supposed to be from day one!

 

[Denci]

I finally built up these rfy 11 1/2 shocks to handle the heft of the vmax. I am surprised at how well they improve the ride.
My progressives needed to be rebuilt so these will work in the meant time.

Can you elaborate on that? I've never seen anything like it. What is that big canister for?
