I rode with 2 of my buddies with identical KTM's. They are really fast, and these guys really know how to ride. I cannot hang with them in the twisties, but when we hit a straight, I am able to keep the pace, or even reel them in a little. One of the guys also has a Ducatti Diavel, and he...

I finally got my 240 wide wheel kit mounted to my Vmax. After our mountain trip in June, my 200 was toast (down to a 1" wide steel strip of belt in the middle). I love my 240. After owning 4 M109's with a combination of anything from the stock 240 up to a 260, cornering is a breeze. I also...

Congrats on your new purchase of your generation 2. I picked up my new to me 2010 in November of last year. Took it on my first extended trip 2 weeks ago. It was a 6 day, 1820 mile trip to the NC mountains. This is the most amazing bike that I have ever owned. Last week, I got the 240 wide...

Yes, that is the one that I got. Nice to keep a rain suit and a bottle of water in for day rides.

I currently have a stock rear (200 size) and stock front (130 size). But I picked up a wide wheel kit and it has the Metzler on it. Once I am able to put a new matching set, it will be Michelin 240 and 130. That is the combo that I had on my M109. They are nicely rounded and really take the...

Not sure. Did you live off Hilltop Needmore rd? I also had 2, ZZR1200's Both were 2003. Great bikes, and really underestimated. I had a set of Corbin bags on mine.

9SecVmax, is that a ZZR1200 in your avatar? I had 2 of those and also live in NC

I was lucky enough to pick up a used one that had just been put on a bike. The new owner of the bike didn't want to pay the extra for the kit, so i bought it. I also had a M109, and I had a 240, 250 and 260 tire. They all handled well with a little practice. I upgraded the front to a 130...

On a side note Itgoes, I took my Vmax to the mountains for a day of riding about 2 weeks ago. I will be doing 5 days up there in June. I hope to have a picture kinda like you have once I get a chance to download them from Killboy. I can hardly wait. I will actually be going there in 2...

No, I ordered these from a guy on one of the facebook forums. Do a search for Maxrelaxers, or highway pegs, and I am sure he will pop up. as far as strength, they appear to be plenty strong. Nothing that I will be standing on, but it gives me options for when I get a catch in my hip, or just...

Keep us updated on the progress. I am considering doing the same to my 2010.

The one thing that I loved about my M109's (yes, I had 4 of them) was the seating position. I loved being able to stretch my legs out when just cruising. Now I can do that with my Vmax. I installed the pegs today and hope to give them a good workout this weekend. Supposed to be in the mid to...

My computer went down and I forgot the password. I couldn't reset it, so I created a new user. I can log into the site with the new user, but I cannot post anything. It truly sucks.

I was lucky enough to be able to pick up a 240 wide wheel kit and am excited about getting this put on in the spring. But when I picked up my 2010, it had a new 200 on it, and needed a new front tire. I would suggest giving the 130 a try for the front. The bike handles so much better (to me)...

I picked up a bag to bungee to the rear seat to give me a little storage space for running little errands.

I thought about the horn, but haven't done anything yet. Where did you conceal it, and how hard was it to install? Anything to make others more aware of your presence is a good thing.

I like the shield pretty good, but it doesn't do much for the wind alone. I added a small flip shield that I had for my M109. It is not pretty, and doesn't look very large, but it makes a world of difference. I hated the wind above around 65 with just the shield. But with the shield, it is...

Here are the ones on my 2010. As I stated, I am not a fan of the way any of the bar end mirrors look, but these do work better than the original ones. They don't look too aweful, so I will keep them for now. It also gives me a place to hang my helmet when I stop.

My 2010 Vmax had bar end mirrors on it when I bought it. I placed the stock mirrors on them, and decided that the bar end ones worked better. I am not totally happy with the looks of bar end mirrors, but they do work. That is the important thing.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have a source for this rear seat at a reasonable price? I cannot seem to find a new one, and used ones are now going for up to $500. Kinda hard to part with that kind of money for something that no one will ever sit on.
