Me Too! I think this is a good deal for someone

Well, its time for me to pass my Vmax on to someone else to finish. I have a complete 1988 with ~47K miles. clean title, with a lot of extra parts. Since I have had the 88' I have had it running and riding. Then I took it partially apart to paint, then the carbs gummed up, and it sat and sat. If...

Any interest?

Based on the reviews maybe I am better off not getting to their site - still is not working for me.

What is the "normal" schedule for chat?

I have tried their web site for 2 days and it always times out. Can anyone else get it to work? :bang head:

Thank you guys for all the great info, I am going to get my parts on order and get this piece of the project started. Brad

When you rebuilt your front forks which seals do you replace - all of them? Is there a list of what part numbers to purchase? Did you go with OEM parts or aftermarket parts? I have looked through the threads and it looks like the progressive springs are an essential modification when doing a...

Neil Thank you for the tip, it saved me some $$, for ~$24 (with shipping, $17 without) I bought the supplies from Dennis Kirk (they were not available locally). I used 7mm wire so I would not have to trim it. Of course when I made an order I also bought some other things so the shipping...

Both links are working now!
