The bike could be made true again with a couple hundred in wiring harnesses from Morley, or you could use it as a clean title parts bike. Here are the details: Bike recently had an electrical fire near the ignition, not sure what all was damaged but there is a terrible pic of it below...

So I made a post about what happened to my bike, the only severe portion of which was an electrical fire around the ignition, and somehow they didn't total it. With that said, Morley says he can get me the parts I need for around 150-200 from what I remember. With that, the bike has a ton...

Kind of am unfortunate series of events scewing me over. Yesterday, I rode to work at Cycle Gear and a lady hit my vmax in her truck and took off, knocked it over and did some cosmetic damage, got a police report done with witnesses (no tag number on truck) and am waiting for the agent to call...

Opinions? I love the vmax but I'd like fuel injection and fairings. Honest opinions? I wouldn't take any less than 3750 for the Vmax if I did sell it because I do love it and feel it's worth about that with the new rims.

So, I bought the set of radials and got them on but now I don't have a functional speedo or reserve light and it's bothering me, I've gone about 20 miles without it and it's not increasing my miles lol So, anyone with the 17" thundercat front rim, do I require a new speedo? Can I make the old...

Pics of the bike and rims, should be 4 images total: https://imgur.com/98AAkia,1DkAFkO,reJkGSR,R83PAks So basically, I'm putting these radials on and I have them plastidipped white with one can per rim. Plastidip basically is a durable rubber coating but if I want to remove it all I have...

Hey guys! So whenever I'm going up a hill and accellerate from 2-3k, my oil light comes on at around 4500 - 5000 rpm. Is this normal? I mean if I just steadily go up it rarely comes on, it seems to be triggered by acceleration If I'm going downhill I can get to 6500 before it comes on, or...

As I said in a previous comment, I swear my front brakes are just pushing soap covered cardboard onto my rotors. We're talking about the 85 forks/brakes options but feel free to add in any for the 93+ incase I can grab a set of those forks for a good price. So, what's the best cost...

I find myself putting my feet on the rear pegs on the highway and I have even considered clip ons for the bars. I miss the fit of the CBR I used to have as I find it very hard to keep my back straight on the Vmax, it always wants to curl and I want my knees bent more and my feet further back...

So... Happened to be riding at night today and was lightly bumped in the rear at a red light... Turns out my tail light only works in neutral and it was definitely like that before the incident. Could this be related to the removal of the kickstand relay? I only mention it since that also...

So I fixed the kickstand issue, it was in fact the relay and the new (used) one I got from ebay didn't work either so I just unplugged it and it worked. The new issue is that when I get to the end of a straight line drive and let it drop to idle, it dies. Immediately I thought it had to be...

So I've been riding the bike on the daily lately and when I left the house for my new job (Cycle Gear, whoop! Awesome so far) the bike randomly stalled out about a half mile from my house... Got home from work and this is the info I have for you. 1) I think it's most likely a "safety" switch...

So I traded the Vgas set up to Sean for his carbs w/ vboost and morley's kit/stage 7 needle and spring. His carb rack and intake manifold were in top notch condition where as my carbs could use a good overhaul/tuning. I got his package in last night and quickly bolted things together just to...

Tried to take off the old foam grips as I found them a bit bulky, I have only removed the left grip so far but I'm not sure if what was under it was supposed to be there? Slid off the foam and am left with this: https://imgur.com/a/pq0F7 Can't get the metal piece or rubber sleeve thing off...

So I had a hunch it was running lean, but drove it a mile to school anyway, well I tried... Not even out of my neighborhood yet and I smell hot oil :bang head: I hope this is something I can fix myself because I'm more than out of money here lol. Here is a pic showing where I think it's...

So I did everything under the sun, and now the bike can dependably get me from A to B :eusa_dance: Unfortunately, this throttle lag is still a pretty big safety concern. Keep in mind this is a Vgas set up IE: I rode to school today since I saw high of 40 and no rain, on the way home, a...

Thanks to Jamie I was able to put my Vmax out of service for a week and spend every waking moment not spent on school work getting her fixed up. Well, tonight I cleaned the lines and completed everything I previously listed, put some fresh 89 in and primed the fuel pump a few times. It was...

My cousin(basically my older brother) and I want to take a trip from where we are in Maryland over to Ocean City then head over to the other shiny sea! This wouldn't be until mid this summer and we've both started saving (if only pennies, right now. Procrastination is a bitch :bang head: )...

So based on current circumstance, I should be bolting the beauty back together early next week and the following will all be better than new (keep in mind my budget is literally below zero now so anything else should hopefully be labor only): Brake fluid topped off Spark plugs Fuel pump...

I have a bad feeling that I wasn't supposed to unscrew the wire that goes to the spark plugs on the ignition coils............ oops? https://imgur.com/a/CwjZF Also, are the boots supposed to just pop off the spark plugs and not screw in? Either way, mission accomplished on getting the...
