    This seems bad...

    Yuck...I did this to my gen1 many years ago trying to ride over a curb...yeah young and dumb! Not as bad as yours but I was worried that running it like long term like that would cause problems. I don't know that it would but didn't want to chance it. I'd wanted something louder and lighter...

    EXHAUST mid pipe / muffler mix and match

    VMaxxx, can you give me some more details on the issue with the mounting bracket for the oval cans? I have a new set still in the packaging that came with my Gen2 and am planning on having them ceramic coated black. I'm just wondering if I should mod anything before sending them off for coating...

    Gen 2 SpeedoHealer Install Help

    I was noticing last week during a ride that my GPS speed was quite a bit different than my speedo....I wasn't aware that this was a common issue...

    Yup I'll take them but I'm in Canada so will understand if you need to adjust your price a bit for the shipping! Email me at [email protected] and we'll sort out the details

    Throttle Locks/Cruise Control

    I think about how awkward it is to set the throttle at the desired speed with the clamp on style ones that brace against the brake lever and feel like this would be equally as awkward...

    Yup that's ugly. Was it left at the bottom of a river for a while? Lol

    EXHAUST mid pipe / muffler mix and match

    I would never have bought the stainless system. I would have found something already black but this one came with the bike new and still in the box. It's going to cost me approx $400 CAD (which is approx $10 USD!!) To get the ceramic coating done. I think that because it's new the prep work...

    Gen 2 Aftermarket Mirrors

    Somewhat related, I'm looking at these to use with the stock mirrors for now until I find a set of black bar end mirrors that I'm happy with. Xitomer for FZ 07 Mirror Risers, 4 pcs M101.25 Motorcycle Rear View Mirror Extenders 40mm, Fit for YAMAHA MT-09, HONDA CB1000R/ Grom MSX125, KAWASAKI...

    EXHAUST mid pipe / muffler mix and match

    Was just talking with the guy who does the ceramic coating. I was expecting to have to disassemble the cans so that I'd maintain the ability to repack them when required. He says that I don't need to take them apart and that I won't have any problems with taking them apart down the road. I'm a...

    What did I do to my VMax today

    I'll take some pics when it shows up and I get it mounted but Amazon says it will be a few weeks out.

    What did I do to my VMax today

    That makes sense with the fwd controls. I just got a set of the gen2 highway pegs and they make a huge difference for me to be able to move around to different positions. I'm rarely in traffic conditions where I'd want to use fwd controls. Right now I find that there is more distance from the...

    What did I do to my VMax today

    I agree that it looks as good as you're going to get for adding a backrest but it's pretty limited in terms of function! Admittedly I'm probably never going to have a passenger back there! I literally got it because I wanted the rack! Pretty expensive rack! Here's what I've ordered: Cortech...

    What did I do to my VMax today

    Very interesting that the gen2 was worse for your hips. What do you attribute that to? Was it the overall width of the seat? I have some pretty significant arthritis in my right hip as well. Personally I find the gen2 a lot more comfortable for me. I've never had an opportunity to try a gen1...

    EXHAUST mid pipe / muffler mix and match

    I found a localish place that does ceramic coating so am going to get my Delk system done there. I already have it and $2k plus shipping etc is too steep for me to justify for the black hindle. But is does look good and the extra HP gains and weight loss are sooooo tempting!

    What did I do to my VMax today

    Installed the OEM "backrest" and rack on my Gen2. My immediate thought when done was that I should have looked on here to see if there were any tips or tricks to be it besides an extra set of hands or alot of patience! After checking I'm surprised that there wasn't anything here on it. They...
