Re: 2000 VMAX in Iowa Sold it tonight to an Urbandale Fire Fighter, can't think of a better person to enjoy it as much as I have. Hate to see it go but I know there will be a VMAX in the garage in the future.

Re: 2000 VMAX in Iowa Thanks FM, I forgot the LED taillight I added last summer, appreciate the comments

Also posted on CL, http://desmoines.craigslist.org/mcy/4941969269.html, but reducing the price for forum members to $3900 since this forum has been awesome to me. Please mention the forum when responding. Great bike, excellent condition, only 15??? miles. Only had a VMAX for about three years...

That sounds awesome FM, makes me think a little about the Max with the UFO dragstars...pretty close to straight pipes..minus the fumes. I did get a set of FCRs off CL for the ZX but they have some cleaning/rebuilding (winter project), I hear they really bring the ZX to life, we will see next...

Just an update...it wasn't running right at the top end, could only squeeze out about 120 MPH so did a lot of carb work and then realized the number 3 connecting rod bearing was probably shot (fairly common on these apparently), confirmed it after tear down. Finding time and getting parts (all...

Sorry HB, hopefully I don't get you in too much trouble at home but I hope you can get a ZX11 again, I am loving it so for. It has some tuning to do get to top performance that that will occur slowly as $ allow. have a great one.

Ended up getting the 1990 today, I should have waited to check out the '93 but this one is in great condition and was the right price at $2800. Going to probably need a new rear tire and set of brakes but other than that it is in great condition. Had a 45 minute ride back after picking it up...

I agree Matt, a little protection is good and the look of the 93 (could be the picss) seems better. Time will tell chuck

Thanks for all the replies, that is why I love this forum. I joined three different ZX11 Forums but they are not near as user friendly and as helpful as you all are. I am looking at two right now, I prefer the look of the one in 1993 MN but being 4 hours away I haven't make the trek yet...

There are two bikes I have always wanted since the day I seen them...a V-Max which I have had for almost two years now (2000 carbon fiber), which is freakin awesome and a ZX-11....which I am on the hunt for. Not a lot of them around, at least on CL but there are a few. Checked on out last...

thanks for the input Garrett. I am going to give the 777's a try. I was able to find a local dealer that would sell for $86, only $6 more than the tourmasters. I will post some feedback after a few weeks. The reviews on other websites along with the local dealer were pretty positive on the...

I apologize if this has been answered before, I searched the forum but for some reason the 777 didn't show, just shinko. Need a new front tire and thinking about the 777 in size 120/90-18, any input would be appreciated. I am not committed to the larger front tire but considering it. I...

My son rode with me this weekend and he said the maxgasser was tons more comfortable for the passenger. He is growing almost teenager, about 5'3". As I said before it wasn't a long ride but definitely long enough to see the significant difference from stock seat.

Got to take a longer ride today running errands around town, very comfortable, night and day difference from stock, Rick Rocks.

I have to thank Rick for the color idea, I really think it looks great and compliments the carbon fiber very well
