    Zl1000 Eliminator Vs V65 Vs Vmax Gen 1

    By the way, I spoke to Texas yesterday. He is shooting the dragon with his sport bike, the one with 150 plus hp. I forget the name of it. Anyway, he'll enjoy this discussion. Last season before I bought the VMAXer, I was considering a ZL or a MAX. I already had two Magnas, the 700 and...

    Finally a JOB

    In today's crazy bad economy, For every guy that I hear finally getting a job, I hear of three other guys losing one. And, of those three, 2 out of 3,have young kids without sneakers and other stuff like lunch money. Every day they wake up with their kids, and they say, "HOW am I gonna ...,"...

    Morleys Seat: 1st Thousand Mile Riding Impression

    Thanks Don, I will look around. I know how commonly they are offered, but it's the size that is seems to be either just right for our bikes or more often not. Most of the good company's like Willy's make these big jumbo ones.

    VMAX Front Tire

    A comment and questions: Radials Rock harder than anything I've tried. In the spring, I tried Avons on my V65. Good Tire. Then, I tried Shinkos at about 1/2 the price of Avons, and got better lock up, better cornering control, even stopping distance was noticeably better along with tread...

    Will you ride till snow comes down

    Thanks y'all for chimming in. I now don't feel like the only one that rides till the cows come home and snow drifts pile up over my head. Those you that ride in Sunny Cali or Florida, I am wicked jealous, but without AC on my bike, I have no deep seated resentment. Just as an aside, ya know...

    Will you ride till snow comes down

    I have two questions for my VMAX family: 1. What is your cold weather calendar limit of riding? I know some guys mark Thanksgiving as the official time to get the StaBill in the tank and Carbs. My friend Jeff for instance is a good biker, but only rides in 80 degree dry ice cream cone...

    Morleys Seat: 1st Thousand Mile Riding Impression

    At first, I had a neither love it, nor hate it. Work was getting the best of me in terms of attention and hours, and just said, "very good looking." But like you say, the real test is all day or long range riding. When I went to Montreal with 475 miles per day, that's when I knew I was onto...

    Shell Rotella Questions

    I decided give Shell T6 a a go, and have some idea of what I was talking about. Only had a chance to do about 40 miles. No slip. And I'm not certain, but compared to Yamaha Dino Oil that I had in there, T6 full synthetic pulls harder and just seems faster. Time will tell if I'm just...

    Morleys Seat: 1st Thousand Mile Riding Impression

    Specifically, the stock seat is very round and densely hard. The Morley Seat takes the top curve, exactly at top middle where you feel it giving you a weggie. With the new flattening effect, your weight gets distributed. Best seat!! And Sean can add or take out foam per whatever the customer...

    Morleys Seat: 1st Thousand Mile Riding Impression

    No, It's not you. It's the stock saddle which sucks the pipe so bad. I can only speak on my experience. The real test of a seat is, all day comfort or no? And if anyone tells you that no seat will do this, they are wrong. Jack

    Morleys Seat: 1st Thousand Mile Riding Impression

    Howdie, Re: Sean Morleys Mid Cut Seat I did a lot of research. I wanted to get some miles on the seat to see how it broke in before I offered my two cents review. Over the last few weeks, I did a few short trips and then three days of all day riding. First I have to say again that Sean is a...

    Quick question...

    You can get RADIALS for the front size, 110, 80, 18. But to the best of my knowledge there is no radio available for the stock 15 incher in the back. I would love to find out differently though. I think that the tires you have on our okay. Certainly not cheap, but In the bias ply or bias...

    Keep on Blowing Fuses with D/Lights Install

    I got one even better, or potentially worse. My buddy works for KIA as a mechanic or I guess they call him a "technician." The Hybrid apparently has this big giant battery that if you goof up, it is Game Over. On a Monday AM, he was getting over the proverbial "hair of the dog." He dropped a...

    Quick question...

    Like FireMedic said, radials are night and day diff. I just got back from a trip and had my v65 radicalized. The turns are effortless. And everything is wicked smooth. Re: red line. I've red lined it many times. But now that the carbs are perfect, no flat spots. Jack
