thanks guys, I'll keep you updated.

My sons friend is picking up an 05 Triumph rocket 3. He is an ignorant bugger, & he says he is going to leave my 98 Vmax in the dust. I laughed it off. Then I was curious, & started researching the Rocket,...wow, he just might do what he claims. No I'm worried, LOL. I was very confident at...

well its been a while since I've been on this Forum. Thought I would give an update. Haven't been riding much at all. It was a cold windy wet spring that just dragged on & on with below normal temps. We had a hand full of warm days, now the strong cold winds are back. It was ZERO with the wind...

cooool !! let Er Rip.

I think that you are correct. Everything else was all changed out a year ago. I put the drill to the cable & the speedo didn't respond for about 3 seconds. I will ride it for a while & see if it gets better,....but not for a while,..we just got hit by a freak snow storm....arrg !

Its not the cable "new" its not the drive gear "new". My speedo is lazy "slow at catching up to speed" but reads accurate on stable cruising speed. I'm guessing there is no quick fix for this. Something in the head isn't working proper. Time for a new speedo ??? worked 100% in the fall...

The SKOAL colors would look a lot better. I painted mine after the DoubleMint green car. However,.the color had Copy- right protection under nascar & you couldn't buy that paint color. I took a picture of the car to the paint shop & after lots of trial & error,...they made the right shade of green.

This is a job for a professional . I have done this kinda thing in the past......welding on Hard tail sections ect. Its not that simple, especially if the engine is in the bike. Once you cut out that section "the frame is gonna move out of Spec. Even with the motor out you gotta be really...

before I painted my Max bright green,..I painted it , close to a medium green. It looked good in the shop. Then I rolled it out into the day light,..YIKES ! I was stunned, wasn't sure what to think. I personally thought it looked like an old mans bike. I took it back in the shop and stripped it...

I was over talking to Len down the street. He races a Harley sportster at the track. Runs 11.8 in the 1/4 mile. He is sponsored by "lucas OILS". He swears by it. He said once I try it, I'll never go back. He gave me 4 quarts and said if it wasn't as good as he claimes.....I owe him nothing. Fair...

This is the 10th year in a row that Ive done this. A few years back there was 5 of us having a blast. Your never to old for a thrill.

well,..-23 fresh snow.....That's bike ridding weather , isn't it LOL. I do this every year on Christmas day. The neighbours all wave & take pics. It was a tad chilly.

well, I ran a Comp test - they are 185 to 190 . Plugs look fine. I'm switching to a different oil manufacture. There is no reason I should be using 1/2 a litre to 200 miles at high speeds. Unless that is the nature of the beast. Still would like to hear from others that have actually ran their...

Yea slowing down would be would help, but I have this bike for 1 purpose, for speed. I just cant seem to restrain my self on that flat straight brand new stretch of black asphalt, LOL . Its just so tempting to twist the wick. I have been passed a few times last summer by much faster Sport Bikes...

Measuring bike with center stand. If I ride the bike at 75 to 80mph it wont touch a drop all summer. At 100mph+ for extended periods, it does. Checked the air box and there is a Very light film.

No smell, no leaks, no smoke of any color. even If I rev it up in my shop...nothing.

I have been using AMZOIL 10-40 in my 98 max. A few I have made a run to the big City,...it is 90 miles away and the highway is new & double lane with very few curves. You can really get smoking. Most traffic is zooming along at 75mph with others going faster. I have done this trip at 100 to 115...

haven't been on here lately. Bike is put away, ...snow on the ground. Now my snowblower sits where my bike did LOL ! I tend to get into the Fire Arms Forums in the winter & do a bunch of buying and selling. I also went out Yote hunting & got this guy. Now he's a rug, LOL.

I watched an interview with him and I really don't know what to think. The fellow that was interviewing him asked him "how he came up with his songs" he gave a strange answer- he said " I don't know,..they came to me magically, like automatic writing,...I didn't even know what I was putting down...
