Running aftermarket header, cat delete and D&D slip on pipes. Love the sounds. Best,

Yup The video is above, 5.5ish hours. Told the RAATS guys and they were impressed for it takes that long with 2 guys doing it and they do it pretty often. As for the shipping I know customs snared it for a bit. I clearly remember checking in with RAATS on the 4th week looking for some...

My bikes go into a deep slumber for 4 months a year and that point I'll have the VMAX in my shop and plan to flash the ECU with TUNEBOYS latest flash and tune for Cruise and Quick shifting. I'll pull that trigger once the car comes off the trickle charger and comes out of the shop and the...

Took almost 6 weeks to get my Tank, I'm located in Vermont... I ordered the tank the day i knew I was going to buy my Gen 2... I never want to do that project again. Been working great though. 160 miles is a very safe average of my range. Commuting with the Max and I fill and have about a...

36, Bought my Gen 2 VMAX 1700 this year. 13 years and about 350K miles of riding under my belt. I wanted a gen 2 VMAX when I first laid eyes on one in person at a bike show in 2009. Could barely afford rent no less a VMAX at that time. Bought my Gen 2 in cash this summer. What an awesome...

I'm done with spending money on range... And honestly that was the worst bang for the buck for range. Best,

I really like the 011, this new one is gripping very well (no wheel spin) and it holding up. The first tire was a 011 but it was dead right at 2K miles. 6K miles isnt bad considering the price of the tire. I do all my tires by hand with spoons. Pretty proficient with minimal scuffs. Haven't...

Thanks for the share here! I have a single button set Cruise on my Bonneville and I have no problem with the single button cruise. I like the Tune boy option but I have a Gururued tuned ECU and really don't want to loose that tune as it was set for the bike... I think I will reach out but if...

Hi Jerry! Yes, that would be it, Very very weak metal and if you over torque it bends and looses it's ability to apply pressure to the rubber ring seal. I have it fixed so it won't pour out but it will weep on hot days... I have a new crown coming in! I strongly recommend following the torque...

Hey Jerry! Yeah I got the tank in a few weeks ago. I sent the video link to Raats and they were too impressed that I did the job it generally takes them 2 guys to do in the same amount of time. It's a huge game changer in range for the machine. The stock tank really is silly small, now I...

Greetings! New here but not so new with Motorcycles and working on them. I ride 8 months a year or +30K miles on all my motorcycles annually, I find that working on my own motorcycles is the only way to (affordably) keep my machines on the road. So in going with that I was very upset to...

HAHAH Yeah me too

I hand spooned the tire on and rode the bike into the shop... I do all my own work. As stated on the video (with actual footage of the tire going up the twisty mountain I live on) on that hot day it was adequate. As good as a bald Shinko 011... Not great and No way am I recommending it. It...

I'm using Yamaha Snowmobile bags with rock straps works great. Also using a 53L Givi/Kappa top case with my hand-built custom rack to support a very loaded case. I plan to start fabbing some side plat mounts for some hard case givi cases I have. I really enjoy working with metal even if it...

I passed State inspection here in the US and had the blessing from my insurer. If the tire is DOT approved, it can be used regardless of profile (guess that means you could run MC tires on cars). That's how it works for my state here in the United States. It was worth the experiment. Satan...
