Put the new Metzeler on without any troubles. No washer swap needed. Lots of room for it to clear the swingarm. Good 1/4". Like how it looks and performs. It really corners well compared to my old worn out bridgestone. I didn't think it was that bad until I went for a ride with the Metzeler...

Just ordered a new 170/80-15 Metzeler this morning! Cant wait to see how it looks and performs. I hate having different front and rear tires..but my front is almost new. Its the stock bridgestone.. I payed $189 CAN for the metzeler...expensive..but I hope it lasts.

Anyone attending the Wharf Rat Rally in Digby Nova Scotia labour day weekend? I'll be there wilth my 99 unless it gives a hurricane like last year...Looking forward to it none the less.

My buddy said... "Do you know why Harley riders won't wave when you meet them on your Vmax?" I said no... He said..."Did you ever let one hand go on a wheel barrow?" Needless to say...I laughed! lol

hahahahha

I've never had the carbs out. I don't have a sync tool and thats why. They should come out and be cleaned, floats checked ect but im leary of it. There's lots of info on here how to do it but there's a lot of junk that needs to come off before the carbs even come out. Thats what scares me. I...

Ok...so it didn't hurt anything by me pushing the plugs down a bit? You mean you need to remove the plugs if you want to replace the needle and seat? jeeez... Thanks for the reply!

The other day I had the air box off to try and get the carbs down in the boots better. One boot is always wet. After a bit I got it a little better but the carbs still don't want to sit down well. If I get 3 in well and try to get the 4th, the opposite corner pops out. After messing with it I...

I got laid off at work today...Powder coat is now pretty much out of the question...If I could, I would...

I'll check and see what it's going to cost to powder coat the wheels...I'd like something like a gunmetal or metallic black. Not sure yet. I have black chrome pipes and the carbon fibre body pieces. So I think something black would look good. I'd like to black some more of the bike out and have...

I've hated the aluminum wheels on my max since I bought it. You can't clean them, polish them or even make them look half decent..I've tried every kind of polish I can find and still can't make them look nice. And I'm not liking the thought of polishing aluminum everytime I wipe the bike down...

I went from a 85 Suzuki Intruder 750 to my Vmax....I showed up at the guys house to buy mine and he said he'd go get a helmet for me to try it out...I started to shake..hahahah. Here's this 120 horse monster that isn't mine and hes just gonna let me take it for a test run...I knew I had to to...

Theres 106000 kms on that 88...That would not be a selling point for me!

Very useful as I have a Corbin seat that came extra with my bike but I removed it after trying to put gas in it for the first time. I don't care for the look of it either...I think Sean will get my stocker to do some work to it and somebody else will get the Corbin...The 1 piece doesn't work for...

How do you have an extension on your filler pipe? Please explain!
