It is 1 year to the day , that i had my Max vinned and was ready for me to ride home (ex japan) . So in that 1 year i amassed over 12000kms , broke then replaced the original gear selector with the updated one , polished the front emblem , grab bar and scoops . Also went thru 2 tyres .
In that year i only saw 4 other Maxxes . 1 being the 88 that jedi- had picked up, saw 1 09 even tho it was minus a few bits due to a put down .
I replaced the tacho guts as mine didnt work when i got it , also got a stainless steel radiator guard for the front to set it off and a H.A.C. sissybar for the missus but im looking at doing the reflector mode for this when its off but i did make a new reflector using the original for when the sissy is on so it dont look like crap and i put red leds in all instrument housings . Also new grips as i kept braking the ends off the originals and lastly i fixxed the tripmeter knob that had come off in my hand .
But after 1 year would i replace it - Hell No . :punk:

Mate , havent you figured it out yet . No licence plate = no speeding tickets .
1st pic was of Max in Japan . As for the rotor they are stock Yammie ones .
Have kept her stock as someone has to do it i spose . :punk:
