Hey all, I recently I upgraded my front brakes to the Sumitumo 6-pots from Sean Morley. I now have a set of Yamaha R1 gold dot brake calipers up for sale. They come with the Galfer HH pads, which only have around 5000 miles on them, you should be able to get considerably more than that out of...

Hi all, I have decided to sell my WR Rearsets. I bought them over a year ago, but never put them on as I started thinking about how I'm getting old and the forward controls (which used to seem dangerously weird) now seem to put me in a nice comfortable position. So I ordered and installed the...

No, this is not a NSFW story. Yesterday I fulfilled a dream I've had since I was 10 - took a ride on the (until recently) only flying B29 SuperFortress left - FIFI. She makes the rounds around the US to help raise money to keep her running so future generations can experience some of the history...

I received my seat from Sean Morley a couple of days ago. Wow, is it amazing! Not only was it the easiest mod I've done, it's definitely in my top three best bang for the buck mods! I've got about an hour of saddle-time on it today at lunch, and it still felt better than the stocker did after 1...

I'm selling some Vmax stuff that's taking up space in the garage. I'm selling this ALMOST perfect 2002 Vmax "Faux Tank"/ airbox cover in Carbon Fiber look. I replaced it with Exactrep's real CF piece and no longer need it. It is is good shape, no dents, only one small and one tiny ding (see...

Hey all, I'm selling a set of lightly used Cobra slip-ons and the Silver stock wheels off my 2002. They are not listed anywhere else yet, you guys have the first shot at them. If interested, see the ads here: Wheels Cobra Exhaust Thanks!

With the sale of my 1996 Max, I no longer have any pretensions of needing an extra set of stock wheels, so I am selling my stock silver wheels (replaced by the Carrozzerias). The wheels only has 6900-ish miles when I replaced them, the tires are the stock Bridgestone Excedra's. The tires LOOK...

When I bought my Max a year ago, it came with the Cobra 4 into 4 slash-cut mufflers. Far and away the best look IMHO for the classic musclebike look. However, the allure of the dark-side called from the bark of the Kerker 4 into 1, and the Cobras were retired to sit alone on a shelf. I planned...

Goofing around and looking at the various V-max one-offs floating out there on the internets, I stumbled upon this. If someone has already posted regarding this, sorry, I missed it. IT is just too cool (imho) to ignore. I'd love to have one next to my current Max...

I am selling my 1st Max for parts, or whatever you want to do with it. After dropping it about 3 years ago, I had aspirations of fixing it up and keeping it. It has been without current Ca registration since April 2011, now to get it current it's gonna cost me over $1000 and I don't have the...

Hey guys, need some advice. I had the carbs on my other Max (1996) cleaned and rebuilt about 1 1/2 years ago, and they've been sitting in a plastic bag in a box since then (all sorts of family issues). A few days ago, I was getting ready to put them back on the bike, when I noticed that the...

A while ago I bought the reflector replacing LED Tail/Brake Light from Sean Morley, and I finally decided to put it in. I connected it before installing it, and both the running light and brake light worked as expected. After mounting it, I reconnected it and only the tail light worked, no...

I ride to work most days, even though people here think highs in the 60's and 70's is cold! 20 years ago while living in Austin Texas I rode to work 30 miles each way each day (starting at 6am) when the low was 10 and the high was 32. With a wind chill factor far south of 0 degrees, that's...

This weekend I went for a ride out to the Rock Store (in Cornell, Ca), riding along the Mulholland Highway all the way there, and back. It's not a particularly long ride - maybe 25 miles round trip, but some sections are nice and twisty. It's not a place for testing your limits, as there are...

Pics: Yes, the amazing Sean Morley sent over a set of the magic wheels! I'm going to have them installed with Metzler ME880s 120/70-18 front, 180/55-18s in back. From those of you who have already installed Carr's, is there anything I need to know before having them mounted? Words of...

The Borg is back! Hey all! After laying down my '96 back in late 2012, I took some time doing other things. Although I've been saving for a Gen 2, I happened across a 2002 V-max with 6800 miles for $4000, and I just couldn't resist. It's almost brand new, with only a few minor scratches...

There are times when I don't ride the Max. Cold isn't much of a problem in SoCal and rain is fairly rare, but they do happen, as do the days where I just don't quite feel sharp enough to dance with cages. I've been driving either our Sebring Convertible or PT Cruiser, but now I have a more...

Slow day at work, so I've been reading my emails a bit. Here's something that was sent to me, interesting read. I can't verify it's accuracy, but it does merit some discussion: WARNING FROM SHELL OIL COMPANY Safety Alert! Here are some reasons why we don't allow cell phones in operating...

EMBARRASSING MEDICAL EXAMS Real stories from the Doctors who were there 1. A man comes into the ER and yells....'My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!' I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that...
