Anyone use the Cortech saddlebags? How do they install? What are your thoughts?

What exactly does the dealer do to the bike for the 600mile checkup? Is something that is covered or is it something I will need to pay for?

is there supposed to be covers on the front brakes? The bike is brand new so it seems odd that they would be missing.

What is the best method of breaking the new engine in? for the first 200 miles I have been varying the rpm's from 4-9k on acceleration and cruising at around 4k. Not too much red line yet. I knew I wasn't going to get great gas mileage but the fuel light is going on after only 69 miles! I...

for those that have done the re-flash, is it worth it? Is it noticeable on the streets or mostly on the track? I do enjoy racing to the next stop light but not dragging. To avoid jail, I rarely will redline the bike since that would likely see you in the triple digits in short time. so with...

do they make engine guards for the gen 2's? I really liked being able to put my feet up on the gen 1 with the guards?

Looks like ill be trading the 2005 in for a 2015 today or tomorrow. One of the stipulations I made with the wife was I would put a back seat on so she can have something to lean up against the one or two times she gets on. The only seats I see available for this bike is a low profile seat. My...

I am on the fence on purchasing a Gen 2 VMAX. I've watched several youtube videos of your average Joe taking them for a demo ride and listening to their reactions. Most seem to agree the power is amazing but the bike feels very heavy and is hard to turn at slow speeds. for the owners who have...

2005 VMAX- Chicagoland area `

After replacing the springs with Progressive springs, the front end of the bike feels like it is high and stiff. There is very, very little bounce in the front end. Maybe this is normal but before I changed them I could easily bounce the front end up and down by simply sitting on bike and...

I needed to loosen a bolt on the clutch mater cylinder so I could remove the front fork spring. After tightening in back up I barely have a clutch. The bolt has a rubber boot over it and is tightened into the master cylinder. Did I get air in the system?

I am considering a Gen 2 VMAX but have never ridden one. I understand the difference in engine performance is huge but what about suspension? How does the gen 2 handle compared to the gen 1? Is the weight of the bike as noticeable as you would think?

How difficult is it to install the progressive springs that so many of you have changed to? Are there any "special" tools needed or do you simply remove the cover and replace the spring?

I have a 2005 VMAX and I find it difficult to jack up with my motorcycle jack because the exhaust pipes are lower that the engine. How do some of you get the bike in the air for maintenance?

I experience a serious wobble around 110mph on my 2005 VMAX. I had the front end looked at for problems but none were found. The dealer then told me that this was a common issue with these bikes and not to worry about it. I can't not worry about it so I'd rather find a solution. Is this...

Both of my lights work but not when I brake. any idea what I should look for to fix this?

how do the grips come off? Any suggestions on new ones?

At around 125mph my 2005 VMAX started a pretty violent wobble. I gotta tell you it scared the shit out of me so I obvisuly slowed down. I talked to the dealer about it and he told me that it is a known issue with the bike. WTF??? really? They make a bike that can go 150mph but it will go...
