    Motorcycle Wanted STOCK 1994 YELLOW

    I love the look and sound of the Cobra's and I am aware they rob a little power. I like how quiet they are compared to my other two bikes are HD. At age 48 I cruise so slow it isn't even funny. My days of haulin' ass ended when I sold my old Vmax which had a SuperTrap exhaust. The guy I sold it...

    Motorcycle Wanted STOCK 1994 YELLOW

    I had a 94' Vmax bought right out of the crate in college and loved it for 6+ years. I recently found a 1990 MINT with 5,000 miles on it. I had new rubber installed, brake calipers rebuilt with new pads, all fluids changed it it purrs like a kitten. It came with chrome scoops ( like my old one)...

    My first riding video. I need to invest $11....

    I'm using the standard adhesive mount that comes with the camera kit and it is attached to the side of my helmet halfway up. We got the bundle that has a battery, SD card and case. The SD card holds about 2 hours of video which has been more than enough. I also bought this remote which I strap...

    My first riding video. I need to invest $11....

    My family got me the new GoPro Hero 10 for Christmas and I am blown away by the quality of the video and camera. It has wind cancellation, anti-shake and when you walk in the house it automatically uploads all the day's footage to the cloud. These clips are raw footage right off the camera just...

    Want to remove sissy bar on 1990 VMax but I think I need a "filler" spacer?

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I actually logged my first ride yesterday of about 150 miles. Now I'm on the fence about removing the sissybar after realizing how nice it is having the ability to have storage in a tour pack. I got spoiled by my Harley and having the ability to pack drinks...

    HELP, my seat latch isn't working and the seat backrest is stuck!

    Well I figured out today why I seemed like such a nitwit. The only latch on my Vmax that engages is the one on the left-hand side. The latch on the right hand side of the bike doesn’t engage so I never ever had to pull on that one when I was getting gas. When the battery died and we had the bike...

    HELP, my seat latch isn't working and the seat backrest is stuck!

    Thanks, the second latch did the trick. I feel like an idiot but sometimes you just have a brain fart.

    HELP, my seat latch isn't working and the seat backrest is stuck!

    Damn. Thank you for reminding me that there’s a second latch. Currently the bike was pushed snug up against the wall and placed on a trickle charger. We were only pulling the latch on one side. I’ve only had a bike about two days and it’s been almost 30 years since I had a Vmax before. I will...

    HELP, my seat latch isn't working and the seat backrest is stuck!

    I have a 1990 Vmax and when I wiggle the latch on the right side of the bike to unlatch the mid seat it moves freely but nothing happens. I have pried, looked with a light and done everything I could think of to try and determine what needs to be moved manually to unlatch the seat to expose the...

    Central NC & Central S. VA

    I live in W-S and just bought a Vmax, which brings back a ton of memories since I commuted to college on one in the 90's. I also ride a Harley or two so I am always eager to ride. I will be riding this week for sure with temps in the 70's!

    Want to remove sissy bar on 1990 VMax but I think I need a "filler" spacer?

    Thanks for your information and I will reach out to them. I added my location to my profile and saw your username. I was a deputy Sheriff in PA for two years before relocating to NC to be a police officer for 8 years. That was ten years ago for me, but I do appreciate your service.

    Want to remove sissy bar on 1990 VMax but I think I need a "filler" spacer?

    Go easy on me folks this is my first post. I have searched the forums and tried to find my answer before making a newbie post. I just received a 1990 VMax with only 5,000 miles on it and I am beyond excited. The bike was just serviced with new fluids, carb tuning, and more. I rode it today and...
