Re: FS: Yamaha OEM VMax windshield PM answered Thanks

Hi there, Had this windshield in my 01 VMax 1200... Was on it for about 3 months and took it off... The bike is long gone and now cleaning the garage I found it! It's original Yamaha accessories shield with winded logo in front. It attaches to the OEM upper tree bolts so, no extra hardware...

Ok... Took the carbs out and cleaned everything up...and mounted them back in. They weren't that bad except for one of them. I started the bike and it idles and takes the throttle pretty nicely :) I still notice a bit of hesitation at the point where you start to pull the throttle but it's very...

Thank you so much everyone. I'm headed out on a vacation but can't wait to come back and start working on this.. Will keep updates

Thank you all for the welcoming and the awesome advice and manuals. I can't wait to get to it ... I have no reason to believe that there is anything wrong with the bike other than storage.. I bought it from a newly added extended family member so, he better not be lying :) Maurice

Thank you sr.. I think I got it at a decent price $1K

Hi everyone, My name is Maurice live in the Bay Area San Feancisco CA. Just got my first Vmax and I'm really exited but I can't run it yet. The bike is a 1998 with only 1,400 miles on it it has been in storage for the last 15 years ...the bike looks brand new but unfortunately not properly...
