Just wanted to share this with this thread. I sent this letter to Sean this week. Hi Sean. Sorry I have been off the radar. My Dad died just before my Vmax died and my youngest grandson died just before I got the bike back from the shop four weeks ago. It’s been a shit time in my life. I...

Who runs 20psi???!!!!! ... and expects a bike to handle predictably!!! Please read http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=3827&highlight=gleno http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=2605&highlight=gleno

Why are you trying to define a front end handling problem when your tyre pressures are not stable :ummm: Fix the leak. Run correct pressure. Then look for the problem (which will probably have gone). Correct tyre pressure is fundamental to correct handling :punk:

I have looked through the forum and found it difficult to search and consolidate the postings on 'Engine Noise'. Maybe this should have its own thread? Anyway, my 1988 V-max has 129,000kms on it and has been running like a clock until this weekend. Went away this weekend and when the bike was...

Thank you man. BTW...love your avatar.:punk:

There may be info on this somewhere but I can't find it. Does anyone know where to get oem paint for the vmax body kits? Are there paint codes somewhere that will allow colour matching? I ride an 88 canadian import that is blue but appears to have a purple hue in some light. How do I match...

Very nice

Excellent mod. :clapping: Great sweep back from the headlight lense.:clapping: The Vmax bug screen is an easy fit in.:clapping: Should look awesome, :punk: looking for parts now :eusa_dance:

P.S. I LOVE SPANKING M109's :rofl_200:

This is a great mod. Why? 1) The Vmax headlight does not give me the image of the road that I want because the headlight does not give me the reflected light that I need. 2) Headlight mods I've looked at alter the fundamental styling of the Gen-1 Vmax. 3) This recessed assembly looks good...
