Well I didn't do anything to my Vmax, but I did go visit Dannymax.....aka Danny and his lovely better half over the weekend. They truly are the nicest people. My wife and I really enjoyed the trip.
My dad gifted his '86 to me. He's almost 80 and enjoys his trike. Besides changing out 3 yo oil, converted to late model spin on filter. Has bad breath so time for a carb cleaning.

I need to polish my scoops. Has anyone done a write up on how to do that including what products to use?
A little video I made to get them back to a more factory look.
Great, thanks!!!
Nothing to the Vmax. I tried to run the truck but the track was not prepped at all everyone was spinning like crazy so never got a good pass

I repaired the clutch master cilinder today. (At the left side of the handle bar)
It was a hell of a job to get the locking clip out but i ve got it done.
New springs, seals, cilinder and dust caps. Tomorrow i gonna start with the clutch slave cilinder.

I have a couple videos on the slave cylinder
I dug my vmax out of its hole Sunday and started the long process of foaming her down and making her wet. Then I rubbed on her chrome for 4 hours with Mcguires fine cut and mother's polish.
Then the battery went tit's up on me.
So I went online to order a new Odyssey pc680. $187 dollars. What the Fuuuuuuuck!
Fuck that, Found the new Noco Lithium powersport batteries at Autozone.
$79.95 plus the Noco Genius2 charger for $35.
Damn this NLP5 250 Amp Noco Lithium is TiiiiiNy.
Works damn good if you ask me.
If any one is in need of a battery, you Might want to check them out. Has a 5 year Limited warranty.
Had to add some foam spacing under it. Noco make a larger 500 Amp NLP14, but you would have to modify the battery box a little to make it fit.
Can't even see the damn thing in there.

Yes i saw them. I gonna watch them while repairing mine. Is it hard to get the 2 hex bolts loose? I red that sometimes they are stuck. Greetings Robby
They usually come loose pretty easy
That's a good referral 82nd.
I have the same charger, which can also be used to do electrolysis of your gas tank, should it need it. The newer, 'smart' chargers, don't operate the same way as your Schumacher does.
Anyone know what connection to motorsports Schumacher has? No-fair googling.

I don't know anything about Schumacher.
If you mean the charger in the picture, it's not mine. It belongs to the the company I haul equipment for.
My bikes parked in thier shop while I get it ready for Deals Gap next week.
I have a Napa battery tender that I have been using for years. It won't work for lithium so that's why I bought the Genius 2. It's good for all batteries.

Yesterday i finished the job. This was actually one of the things i've done to my Vmax that i liked the most. I spend more time taking my tools and cleaning it then the job itself. The slave cilinder came out very easy.
