    Almost did something unforgivable

    Hi guys, just dropped in to see what's up...and I read this thread. I did the samething actually but ended up selling it. I regret it too. I miss the bike big time. I will get another, later maybe next year. But for now I'll just have to suffer it out. Plus the buyer turned out to be a...

    I hate to do it...

    Thankya guys, Mike - There is another Vmax on it's way to Sudbury right now. He seems like a good guy and he loved it. He has owned a Busa before and it was time for him to step into the cruiser class. I picked up a new friend the other day and so far were attached at the hip....it will...

    How do I remove the VMax emblem?

    I got one off from the side panel and put it on the false tank. I used silicone and it hasn't budged in two seasons.

    I polished my scoops

    I read that guitar polish works extremely well, I haven't tried it - but if any of you guys that may have a guitar(s) and some polish kicking around try it at let us know will ya. It apparently leaves a nice shine on paint too. :confused2: By the way, I know I haven't been around in a while...

    Created a MONSTER!!!

    Let her get it and then you'll have two fast bikes to ride :biglaugh: But seriously, I'd try to shy her away from it if it bothers you when she rides it. It's not worth the stress and if anything happened you'd probably do more than just kick yourself..... If ya catch my drift. I'm sure...

    tires

    I noticed - I forget at the moment who but they were runnung a 90 ratio tire on the front and a 80 on the back. Does it matter or should we be running the same back and front ? And just a comment on fit : tires will differ in sizes between manufactures, a 170 or even a tighter 180 from one...

    Tire makers recomendations - why ?

    I have another question: It seems when I take my hands off the bars the bike wants to fall to the left a little and was wondering why ? Was it the bike or was it me just .... hmmmm ? I was also interested knowing something was off, so I measured a rough estimate with a ruler that I have...

    Tire makers recomendations - why ?

    I was curious, so I just went to a few tire manufactures because I wanted to see what tire sizes they recommend for the Max. They all seem go with nothing over a 150/90/15 rear 110/90/18 front - stock sizes. Is this because Yamaha uses these sizes as stock ? OR is this because they have...

    how quick? put your name to it!

    I will guess 9.50 If it doesn't make it as a top q/m contender the sales will drop - adding in that price tag fuel cost and insurance rates - screw that, stick with the older V1

    The tire/tyre thread! Widest and best?

    C-man It's not chrome under that paint, you will have to sand up to a high grit then buff to get a polished look. If you think about it, if they chromed it - why then paint over it ? :bang head: Sorry, I think someone was mistaken.
