Yes, this actually happened.

It is pretty well known that I am a huge fan (almost rabid) of the 1st gen Yamaha V-Max. Have been since I was 12, when the bike first came out. It took me forever to finally get one, but I did. After a few years on her, I have discovered that, just maybe, the V-Max is not the correct bike...

Having a minor issue with Woona that could easily turn into a disaster. The front brake lever feels like it is catching, which makes it difficult to have proper control over the use of my front brakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL8oqDfmt20 Any thoughts on where it could be causing...

Added an Alpine amp and speakers to Woona. The Amp is rated at 70W 2 channel/45W 4 channel. The speakers are rated for only 45W continuous use, though, so I had to dial the gain back a bit. Still, Sounds a hell of a lot better than the cheap Radio Crap speakers I had on the bike before...

Looking at my Cobra Slash Cut mufflers, it looks like the baffles are just welded in from the outlet end. Single weld, as seen in this image It would be nice if they could be removed. Is it just this one weld per muffler that holds the baffle inside the can? I would very much like to be...

Well, as perfect as the headlamp I got from Sean is, it was not designed for the V-Max, so mounting it proved to not be a simple bolt-on job. The original bracket that came with the headlight had this piece that came up over the top of the headlight bucket to bolt to the top clamp of the bike it...

It seems the one thing left that is blocking me mounting the windshield I want is clutch and brake levers. The stock ones contact the windshield. I have seen several different clutch and brake levers offered, but I am not certain which ones out there will fit what I need. (also need them to...

Just wanted to do a shoutout to Sean Morley (one2dmax) for once again saving my bacon. First, I was in need of a new pulse generator. Sean came through with flying colors at a much better price than other sources offered. Then, when I was searching for a new headlamp that I can mount forward...

I need to know the stock length for the clutch line. I want to upgrade my brake and clutch lines, and I can easily measure the brake lines, but the clutch line is routed behind a ton of stuff. Gonna have the shop I go to make up the lines, because the stock straight banjo bolts are a pain when...

Today I was out riding, and for kicks, I decided to floor it hard. And when I looked down at the tach, the blooding thing was already at 11k! O_O Question is, how far is the tach off, and if the tach reads 11k, what was I likely turning for RPMs?

I was rather pissed to find that the AM41/42 Venoms were no longer available in the sizes I use. But I see that they have a new matched set in 120/90-18 and 170/80-15. Avon AV71/72 Cobras. https://www.denniskirk.com/avon/front-cobra-av71-120-90h-18-blackwall-tire.p544574.prd/544574.sku...

On April 2 of this year, Sean Rey was hit by a car while bicycling to work, then struck by another immediately after. He has suffered tremendous injuries which will take years to recover from. Here is the news article on the incident...

Stock tires on the TMD-850 are 110/80 ZR18 and 150/70 ZR17. Now, if the bike was converted over to chain drive, would this make for a viable means for going to radial tires? I really like the looks of the wheels as well, so that would be a bonus.

For some reason, this idea popped into my head today, and I thought that maybe this might be a workable idea. I looked into how the rear suspension is set up on the HD Softail bikes, and could not help but think that using a braced swingarm, with appropriate attachment tabs welded on both the...

Stopped at Starting Line this afternoon to see if they had a chance to start the work on Woona, and I saw this bike pull in. Well, to some, they may see one FUGLY MO-FO, but I see a home built bike, and to me, that makes it a thing of beauty. And it has some interesting touches. He used...

I need to know what size wrench I would need for the flywheel. I know the nut is 19mm, but what of the hex portion of the flywheel? It's definitely bigger than 27mm. And the channel locks I got just do not provide the needed leverage or grip.

I was thinking that this might be a potentially good idea, having a heal/toe shifter. I was thinking that for upshifts, it would be much more positive with the upshifts, I have seen reverse pattern shifters before, and I do not like the idea of that on a bike on the street. I have also seen...

Today in Augusta, they had some demo Scouts, at the Polaris/Victory/Indian stealership. Pre-production jobs that they just rolled off of the truck this morning. Along with those, they brought out a few Chief Vintages and Chieftains, for those of us that wanted to take the full size bike for a...

Found this while searching for Venture differentials. Came off of an 81 XJ750 81 YAMAHA XJ750 SECA FINAL DRIVE DIFFERENTIAL I know it is almost a certainty that it would not be the same... but I cannot help but wonder. Would this diff work with the Vmax? Looks damn close to me.
