I don't remember everything i used. I know the main hoop was 1/2" steel rod.

Sorry guys, I'm no longer making these back rests. I sure do miss my vmax though. Maybe if i get another I'll start making them again.

I painted the silver the night before. Not sure exactly what color it was though.:ummm: I used green masking tape for the stripes... don't do that. The edges were not as clean as I would have liked. Use the blue fine line tape. I would have used that if I didn't forget it when I went to paint...

I painted mine on. In fact, the stripes were painted on with spray can silver. :rofl_200: I then taped the stripes out and painted the rest black. I pulled the tape and cleared the whole thing. I had a paint gun and good paint. I just didn't want to pay for the silver so I got a spray can. It...

I polished my scoops when I had the max. They do have many imperfections in them and they show up when polished. I sanded mine down with a DA and then used a polishing wheel on the end of a bench grinder. I probably only had about 2 hours in them.

Sold it. I rode the bike up to work one time just to make sure everything worked as it should. Then it went on ebay for a quick $500 profit.:eusa_dance:

I loved all the bikes I have owned. The max the most! I wish I didn't sell it last year. If I had to point out a bike that I hated the most it would be the cb400 I owned for about 1 month. I just bought it to flip and make a coin.:biglaugh:

I like the bike, but the price converts to over $18k:ummm:

Congrats on the little one Jeff. :punk: I have two boys that drive me up the wall, but I wouldn't give them up for nothing. Congrats on the bike as well. It has to be a hell of a ride! I wish I could make it to the spring Conesville event to watch it run down the track and drink a beer with...

I'm not sure how well that would work considering mine uses the stock grab bar. I like how it looks though. I jotted down a couple of ideas and i'm still not happy.

I sold it in early December. I hate myself for selling it even though it was a good deal at the time. I'm looking for a basket case (cheap) if anyone knows of one. lol:punk: Quarterhorse is talking about going completely bike-less for the year... I don't know what he is thinking. :bang head:

I was thinking about doing that. I'm not sure how big it would be, but anything is better than nothing. When I get around to building them again I will do some testing.

I pop in here every now and then. I did sell the max (wish I didn't) but I still have all the templates and materials to make them. I planned on making some this spring and putting them back on the market. If your interested in one of the backrest's I make send me a pm. Thanks for all the...

Thats what I was thinking... or it may be rich on the right Bitchin show to say the least!

Thanks for the help guys. I think I will take the one from dkw. :punk:

I need a rear grab bar. Any year will work and it can be ugly. I just need a cheap one to mock up with. I can pay with paypal. Jason

Re: new seat I have also sat on and rode a bike with the morley seat. I give it two thumbs up. That is the route I am going if I chage my seat.

Re: new seat I have the UFO seat on my '85. Its nice for short trips. It kinda smashes my balls a little. If the seat was more flat on the bottom to give me a little bit of forward and back room it would be much better.

I'm going to want one of these Sean. I need to get through the holidays first though. :bang head: Are they going to be braced? How muck longer than stock are they goin go to be? Will the shocks still bolt to the pumpkin or are you relocating them? How much would it add to the price to get one...
