    largest tire that will fit a stock rim on a gen 1 vmax?

    Just had a dunlop k555 170/80 15 mounted yesterday and had only one small problem re-installing the tire, the brake caliper bleeder screw was a tight squeeze past the fatter sidewall. No other issues, plenty of clearence & washer in the original location.

    Concealed Carry Weapons, Firearm

    Wow,17days is fast? It's usually 3 from the time I go to the sheriff's office and pay my renewal fee to pulling the new permit out of the mailbox. Iowa finally passed a shall issue law so now we'll be good for five years instead of renewing every year.

    Solid motor mounts

    I hadn't ridden a Vmax before I bought my 06. Had read about the frame flex & handling problems, so I was surprised at how tight the bike felt. Somehow made it past the break-in without getting into the boost. Got it lined up on a strech of road, nailed it, and thought the effin frame broke...

    My wrecked Max *SOB*

    I feel your pain, wrecked my 06 a month after buying it, first new vehicle I ever owned. And no full coverage at the time. It wasnt torn up as bad as yours, all bolt on parts. I was off for 10 weeks with a pinned ankle. Was more pissed about the bike than me ;) You didn't say if you were hurt...

    Yamaha scoop vinyl inlays?

    You can get a product called liquid masking film I think is avalable at art supply stores, you apply it and cut and remove were you want to paint, then remove the rest after painting

    Spark plugs

    I'll have to check when I get home as far as the Vmax is concerned, but an old XS 500 I used to have you could take the NGK plug boots apart and the resistor could be removed. I replaced it with a piece of copper wire the same diameter and had no problems. I have no idea if it helped in any...
