    Corbin seat is a pain in my a**

    Elimax, I also have a corbin seat I've had on my '02 for about 10k. I am wanting to sell it. It has the removable backrest too. Newer style with the attached gas-tank cover section. Only reasons I want to sell it are: My wife doesn't like the backrest (lower on the back than stock...

    Thunder in the Valley

    Michael, I'm referring to the 27th and after until about July 2nd or 3rd. Haven't yet hashed out what day we'll be heading back to Illinois yet but am pretty sure the 27th would be the day we would need to drop it off.

    Thunder in the Valley

    It's for the week right after the 27th up to around July 4th....sorry for the confusion the way I worded it. Sounds like I may be taking up Bill Kratzenberg's offer unless someone is a little closer.

    Thunder in the Valley

    Bill, That sounds great!......I'll probably need to be able to bring it over on the 27th and pick it up sometime around the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th of July. We haven't decided when we're heading back yet. I really appreciate the offer! I just had a custom paint-job done on the bike and just got...

    Thunder in the Valley

    I'll be at Thunder Thursday the 24th through the 27th......staying at the Days Inn in Somerset. A group of us from the VMOA will be staying there. Will be taking a trip to D.C. with the family for the week following and am hoping someone would be willing to graciously let me store my Max in...

    Best year V-Max?

    I have to say by far I am partial to my 2002 Max. It was the last year of the gloss black engine and frame....all years after were flat black engine and frame. They're all just as fast as the other until you start modding them out for more ponies....or less if you put a Cobra Slash-Cut 4...

    Sturgis on the River 2008

    Nathan, Will be meeting you guys on Saturday morning with my other half aboard. My little bro. Bill is coming with on his Vulcan 750 (I warned him to hammer it the best he can on holeshots so he doesn't piss anyone off behind him). Jack Calhoun from Kewanee may be able to make it...

    Adjustable Clutch & Brake Levers

    Thanks Sean! I Just ordered a set for my wife and me too! Just what I needed and I never would've discovered these had it not been for you pointing the direction. Thanks Again, John W. (Carbon Fiber '02 & Carbon Fiber '00 Maxes (Wife's Bike).

    Adjustable Clutch & Brake Levers

    I have been searching for a set of adjustable Brake and Clutch Levers for our 2000 V-Max. I can't find anyone that makes a set that is specifically made to fit the V-Max stock clutch and front brake master cylinders. Does anyone know of a source for this much needed item? My wife's hands...

    Good Vmax vendor experiences...

    I don't see why anyone would be upset because the guy wouldn't give you his source for anodizing? That's his business and how he makes his money! If you think of it that way, it makes more sense doesn't it? :ummm: I own a window business and everyone wants to know "how" I put the windows in...

    knocking?

    My '02 since new has had this same (metal ticking) sound in idle. I thought it was an unadjusted valve, but everything's adjusted fine when I had it checked by a mechanic. I now have 11K on the clock with no issues except the noise in idle. I'm not going to worry about it cause I haven't...

    Float drain screw

    I always drain the float bowls. I just make sure the fuel has a good dose of Stabil in it first. There is bound to be a slight bit of fuel left in the carbs even draining them. I have never had a problem with this method. In fact, this year I was late in draining the bowls (about 1...
