2005 Vmax isn't any different other than color and a badge of the faux cover. Here are a couple examples of stock 2005 vmax

Sorry but I just shipped everything out the other day. I will update the original post

You should get worse acceleration but higher top speed with a stock rear wheel with either a 150/90 or 170/80 tire mounted, until you're running at least a 190/55 tire on a 18" wheel. At that point the diameter will surpass the stock wheel/tire setup. At least according to some spreadsheet I...

Ive got more wire strippers than I probably ever need but you know the deal with 10mm sockets

Yes, they are OEM Venture parts

It's good up to 07 and includes California.

Do you have a gen 1 vmax and are interested in converting from a diaphragm style clutch to a coil spring clutch? If so, I've got what you need to do it using OEM Parts instead of buying the Barnett kit. Includes inner basket, pressure plate, the proper pushrod, and bolts. The springs are...

NO LONGER AVAILABLE. ALL ITEMS HAVE BEEN GIVEN AWAY. Cleaning up the garage and found some misc parts. Free to anyone, just pay postage. Most parts were taken off a 2006 with less than 10k miles. Air box, base only, no boots OEM air filter. Looks new. Rear inner fender/fuel tank cover...

This file has US and EU versions for 85-89 and 90-07

If you are on a tight budget, don't spend money you don't need to. That oil gauge from Cycle One Off is not a necessity by any stretch of the imagination. If you are worried about the "dreaded orange o-ring" take a look at it when you replace your oil sump in the future. It will be easy to...

You need to bleed the clutch line again. Looks like the "red material" is just the epoxy that was used to secure the friction material to the disc. Those are not OEM friction plates. My eyes aren't great at measuring thickness but, the friction plates look good from my view. Can't really...

Your paint job looks great in the pictures. You should write a how to on doing a budget, rattle can paint job for the forum letting us know what type of products you use and steps taken

Correct, 2002 is carbon fiber. Conway's bike looks to be the 1997 silver. Colors by year (stolen from a post by Sean Morley) 85 - the only year I can recall that offered two colors, a maroonish red (most popular color) and a purplish blue 86 - maroon (slightly different shade then 85 as I...

Ryan hasn't been around in a while so I doubt he will answer. When he says lowering blocks I'm going to assume he's talking about lowering the OEM forks internally. Racetech accomplishes this with PVC spacers (just some conduit) and Progressive uses "lowering springs". Either way works...

#13 (rear wheel/diff/shocks/swingarm removal) is necessary because you need to remove the mid gear assembly/output shaft/u-joint (step 15) from the engine in order to get the engine out of the frame.

Isn't there a way to test the fuel pressure before replacing parts on a guess?

Correct. Intiminators do not require drilling the damper rods and there is no adjusting them. You run a lightweight fork oil (5wt IIRC). RICOR says the light weight oil eliminates the need to drill the rods. I had intiminators and progressive springs when I had OEM forks on my vmax. Huge...

A basic fork spring swap is one of the best "bang for your buck" mods you can do on a vmax. Racetech or Progressive are both a huge upgrade. If you're looking for an easy and affordable upgrade, email Sean Morley for a set of progressive springs and some 15wt or 20wt oil. Most guys don't run...

If you have a kerker 4-1 exhaust and don't like the sound, you may want want to buy a different end cap/baffle. Take a measurement of the outlet on yours and let us know what you've got. Sean Morley used to stock the large diameter competition baffles for Kerker mufflers. Not sure if he still...
