Great job! Mine is also a 99...in due time I'd like to a little "makeover" too. A few question on windshield - it looks great! What size is that? Where did you obtain it...and cost. Do you find it's effective for touring? I'm in the market for one as well but unsure what to...

Received- thanks!!!

Hello - I'm bringing back up an old thread, to update my saga. So shortly after I had posted this thread, the shop owner tried to force the seat back in place with a ratchet (as you can guess I had NOT read the posts.) And sure enough, it snapped it half. He told me he's going to have...

*Note to self...researching cost to haul vmax to hungary.*

That setup looks sick - I can almost hear how it sounds just by looking at it. :punk: Get us a clip!!

Nice, I'm contemplating getting one myself, once I'm past a few other high-ticket items. So... - What's the brand / model of the windshield? You got it off ebay, is it a one-off or easily found? - What's the width / size? I'm contemplating the National Cycle Deflector (16in), it's...

Adding to the discussion... - The tire's been like this for 3 days (I should have noted this in my post) - No loss of pressure during this time Could it be the damage is superficial enough that a plug isn't required? All is pointing to new tires for me, but question is how soon. I'm sure...

Hey again, sorry if it seems like I'm hogging the forum. I'll try not to have any further concerns with my max, lol. So low and behold I spotted this on my rear tire. New tire? Or a plug will work ok? I'm kind of paranoid about the idea of a rear tire disintegrating from under me...

Hello friends. Before I describe my issue I will add disclaimer I am extremely non-tech so pardon my rather layman (and lame) attempt of an explanation here… So I’ve got a 99 vmax in pristine condition, about 2 months ago. (Many thanks to a local member who gave the bike a once-over and...

Do tell...Was that mine?? :rofl_200::rofl_200: Not that it means anything...for the riding i typically do, I really don't need the power. I might switch out the pipes one day for dual pipes (for the sound and looks, not performance), but that's so far down my priority list.

Nice, I hope it works out. 2006 is exactly what I had on my wishlist, but the only 2006 in the state was going for way more than my budget allowed. (i got a real nice 99 instead)

You're exhaust setup looks exactly like mine (granted it's a bit dark so i can only see the pipes). I'm going to guess they're Cobras. I'm not quite fond of the sound... not very loud and you don't get the deep-base grunt of the dual exhaust pipes more common on Maxes. Mine is pop-pop-pop on...

Thanks for the tips. A friend of mine who has both automotive / marine detailing know-how recommended "Flitz", claiming it can be used on both chrome and plastic. Provides a level of protection again rust also.

I'm going to bathe the max for the 1st time today (unpredictable Florida weather permitting of course) To my horror I spotted this on my rear turn lights, argh. A buddy who rode with me yesterday suggested rubbing with Coca Cola. :ummm: My last bike (vstar 1100) suffered this same fate and...

Killer pics, I'd love to see an event like this. I would absolutely give up a left (and possibly right) nut to have one of these. My first bike (moped) was very similar to this. Italian built, Agrale XT.

What is that? Givi? How was installation? You have link to the product?

What happened after 90? I don't see myself venturing much over 90 but maybe this one time or two where I want to explore the envelope a bit. And does it require any mods to the bike like moving the turn signals?

Ok, good point I should have added my height - I am 5'10" The Givi 20in is tall but nicely shaped, I think it might be a decent tradeoff.

Good morning / evening / afternoon... I'm looking for a windshield for my 99 max, for longer rides. I spent a fair amount of time whittling down my options and trying to find the right balance between one that offers enough protection (full body + head...not just chest) and one that doesn't...

Great read, Phil. I also did the Toys for Tots in 2005.
