Thanks! That looks easy enough. WOnder how bad I'll screw up. <G>

I've heard a rumor that you can interrupt the vboost servo and control it manually. How is this accomplished and are there ready-made kits for this? Thanks!

Yeah, I'm hopin' to mount a pair of additional driving lights.... I'll figger something out to make it work (assuming I learned something in all those fucking electrical engineering courses I'm taking :29: ) Don't worry about diggin' up the link on headlight relays, I've got too much...

Alright, I've covered luggage and wind protection and highway bars... Now, driving lights. Does the V Max have enough stator capacity to carry a pair of 55W driving lights?

Those will work well, I think. I'm actually wanting to mount driving and fog lights to them... I went 80k miles without using my highway pegs before taking them off my Wing.

Well, I am currently on a Goldwing... *grin* They do have "landing gear" for those things that come down at low speed. (actually, that's not a bad idea since many older riders don't have the hip/knee strength to keep a bike upright but they still want to keep riding)

Does anyone make highway/crash bars for the V Max?

Born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, now my permenant home is in Houston (my girlfriend and I have an apartment on the West side of town, buying a house with a 15 motorcycle garage :eusa_dance: ) During the week, I'm live on campus at Texas A&M Galveston (but I gradiate in may WHOOP!) I do...

Thanks!!! I'll take a look at it and see.

That's a full 60 miles short of my current range. Doesn't sound like much, but out in West Texas, that 60 mph can easily make the difference between a leisurely ride between pumps and taking the Shoe Leather Express that last 10 miles *grin* Thanks again for the information. I really...

I hadn't thought of the fuel capacity. What is a reasonable guesstimate about range on the V Max and mileage? I had planned on one of the 4.5 gallon tourtanks (www.tourtank.com) to extend the range of the bike (my 5.5 gallon tank in the Wing doesn't cut it, but I get SHITTY mileage, high...

Shit hot, thanks for the information! Those bags look pretty slick, maybe I'll just get them rather than bolt on those 40mm ammunition cases. I'm not too worried about making a V-Max have wind protection like the Wing, I'm just too old to get my head beaten by the wind for 10 hours a day...

OK, I'm thinking abotu replacing my 21 year old Goldwing with a new V-Max. LOVE the power and handling, but hate the lack of luggage space and wind protection (I spend WAY too much time on the highways at 90+ mph) So, my first two questions (of many, I'm sure)... 1) Are there any...
