I'm going the GPS route for my speedo, gonna order from Sean when I have the funds. I just ordered a cheapie to get me going until I can order from Sean. So I've removed the stock speedo and drive cable. What's the best option to do with the stock speedo drive? Is there a cap available? Or...

So I have this bag. No, no, no, it's on the back of the bike. I mean, behind the passenger's seat. I think it's known as a "barrel bag". Anyhow, it old, the straps are broken and have been replaced by leather belts. And the zippers starting to tear out. I love the bag, it's the perfect size to...

So, I really like the fly screens and I've decided that its time to start looking to purchase one. But now that I have a VRod headlight, will it still line up OK? Does anyone have one with a VRod light? Got any pics?

So last summer I was having some hard starting issues, as well as multiple random fuel rrlated issues. So this winter I tore all 4 carbs completely apart, cleaned everything, replaced parts, set dry float levels, and reassembled. This spring I had very minor, very occasional starting problems...

I need a stator. I've been doing some research, and know I should go for a venture part. But what year? 1200 or 1300 venture? Does it matter? Thanks in advance!

So, I got pulled over for the first time in my life this afternoon. I was heading home from work and decided to take the highway around town, instead of going through the traffic in town. My bike has been running great, some of you may remember I was having some problems at the start of the...

Just wondering if it was anyone on here, because I rarely ever see another VMax in my area. So, my immediate thought when I passed this VMax was "I wonder if they're on the forum". Sunday evening, around 6:00 PM on Rt. 56 between Brush Valley and Armagh, PA. I was riding with a buddy, he was...

So I finally got to take the bike out for my inaugural ride of the season. Put everything back together from the COP install, started it up, let it warm up, and set off. Rode about 6 miles to where I work, just to show off that I was the first to ride, and when I went to leave, it took a little...

So I finished putting in my COP's today, and they dont work. I put everything back together, turned the key, hit the button and nothing. Just crank and crank and crank. I got one backfire out of her. So I pulled one coil off and cranked it, it didnt spark at first, then started sparking like...

I'm prepping to install COP's, waiting on my harnesses to come in the mail, and ran across a few things I hadn't noticed before/don't know what they do. I pulled the plug wires out of the bike, but decided to leave the stock coils in place for now. I didn't get a pic of the first thing I was...

So I got my forks all back together (progressive springs, 15wt. oil) and was pumped about getting everything back together, when I slammed myself right into the old proverbial "brick wall". I was re-installing the "air collars" back on, I didn't have the circlips back on the fork tubes and one...

Does anyone here have these or something similar? http://manicsalamander.com/bar_end_weight.htm Will these work for our bikes?

Okay guys, here's my next problem. I've noticed that on my water pump housing, there's a small hole, towards the bottom. And there seems to be some coolant seeping out, not all the time, just on a rare occasion. Am I safe to assume that this is like a "weep hole" on an automotive water pump...

Hey guys, I asked a couple questions already and received awesome help, but I thought I would just take this time to introduce myself and my bike. My name's Adam, and about two weeks ago I purchased my first VMax, and red 1989 with 25,000 miles and in awesome condition. Here are some pics of it:

Hi everyone, I'm new, 1st post actually, just bought my 89 Max on Thursday (7/3/08) and all I can say is WOW!!!! It's everything I had hoped it would be and wow. I moved up from an 83 920 Midnight Virago, so, it's a bit of a change. Here's my question, and it may be stupid or obvious, but I...
