What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[gentsvmax]

I never liked the unfinished look of the exposed upper radiator hose, especially against the clean scoop, sooo stainless to the rescue!

Notice the L.E.D marker lights and new radiator and chin scoop screen, not too bad.

oops, I guess I should read before I post, you did do that by hand LOL anyway looks sweet, when my elbow recovers from polishing my backrest maybe i'll try to polish mine !

My scoops, side covers, carb covers and backrest are all chromed. Too much work to polish. My wheels were polished out last year and I just cleaned them up and threw some wax over them to keep the oxidation out.

Looks good! :clapping:

Will that key fob beat the finish off your scoop? :confused2:

I installed four new diaphragms and a new to me fuel pump. What a difference, back to being a VMax again.

New Shinko 230 170/80-15 rear tire. Huge improvement in grip over the previous Dunlop 150/90-15. No noticeable difference in cornering.

I had the 16k mile service done.

Just picked up the bike today. Happy with the heavier oil in the forks. The bike has less dive now, and feels like it is better planted over bumps.

Why do they put too light oil in bikes at the factory?

I see you have an '03, let's hope the fork oil has been changed at least a couple time in 11 years.:biglaugh: I am running 5wt oil but only because I'm also running Ricor Intiminators since their valving is setup for it. They work great.

Looked at a bunch of parts I got from Sean Morely. Prepared to send him another grand. Looked forward to riding a reliable 1986 VMax next year.

What did I do to my max today? Trailered it home after my fuel pump shit out.

 

[ImCannibal]

Installed my new curved brace and spin on oil filter adapter, and made a mess in my driveway...

 

[adambweird]

Installing my new cylinder covers after work. Thanks Todd, they look awesome!

 

[Hellboy]

I received my new fork top caps today and finished installing my progressive fork springs with the 1" lowering kit. I also put the 11.5" rear progressives shocks on. Replaced steering head bearings and front wheel bearings while I had it apart. I love the lowered look and feel.

 

[LumMax]

Added the water pump cover and the see-thur cover on left side rear. Chrome cam covers and the brake rotor chrome cover and well as the swingarm covers
