Long time no see, fruits. I'm back in the wind, although I had to join the dork side to do it, finally picked up a bike that would accommodate my busted ass hip. Any rate, I thought I'd swing by and list my old shocks, say howdy to you goons, etc. Hope everybody's still vertical.

Sorry to say I haven't chatted with you folks (or ridden with the locals) in quite a while, and I'm afraid it will be a while longer. Mounting medical associated with my arrhythmia forces me to sell my pet monster, she's up in the Vmax classifieds section. Just wanted to thank you guys for all...

Checking in, I haven't been by in a coons age. Still here but life is very...busy, I guess is simple enough. It's complicated. May even be getting out of my beloved Max. Health issues are making me consider for a bigger, more comfortable cruiser for around town duties, and giving up the long...

Anyone found an easy slip over mod for cops to prevent arcing to the case when the engine is cold or the cases damp? I've got mine wrapped in some fiberglass muffler tape ATM, but it's relatively ghetto looking.

Better late than never, some photos of my new MaxGasser, already has a couple thousand miles on it. In a nutshell, could use some tweaking for fatass / solo riders. Still the best thing since sliced bread and strippers. Worth every dime.

About 4 months ago I changed my rear brake pads. At that time I noticed that the pad wear was exceedingly uneven, with one pad barely touched and the other almost gone. This morning, pulling my rear wheel for a new tire, I'm seeing the same radically uneven wear occurring, to the point where I...

Went to bleed / flush the clutch master the other night and had an odd experience. Opening the bleeder without touchingthe clutch lever resulted in a continuous flow of fluid, to the extent that my master reservoir was draining itself. I don't know if I have a residual pressure issue that...

Now that I've finally rebuilt my forks with heavy progressive springs, it's even more obvious how woefully undersprung the rear is for my fat ass. I have 11.5" 412's on there, and I clock almost 300lbs in gear. Rough freeways are like getting kidney punched repeatedly. For someone my size...

Summer run season is on so I decided to flush my coolant system today. I'm down there by ye olde water pump, and I'll be a sonnofabitch, my lowest motor mount bolt on that side is GONE! :shot: Where it went to and how long it's been gone is an effing mystery. One more reason for regular...

I promised Dave I'd post an update here, since I am installing my progressive springs and replace the 8yr old oil with 20wt. My kit also includes a one inch drop and no instructions at all on setting the spacers, should be fun to figure out. Anyway, mark your calendars, actually got both of my...

I'm thinking of mounting up a wide glide front end to the Max. Any input on just how horrible of a project this might be?

Holeshot mounting issue, hralp! Got a set of Dale Walker slip-ons (courtesy of Vmax626, who deserves a nice guy award) and decided to throw them on today. Getting them on the pipes wasn't bad, a little pulling here and prying there got them seated up just fine. I am having a HELL of a time...

I'm giving some serious thought to just tossing the whole front of my Max and putting in something else, rather than trying to address its various problems. I know there are a couple of front end kits available, but they are more than I want to spend, and don't really offer the look I want. I'm...

Finally got hold of one of these, they are a little difficult to find for the RX-7 Corsair. Delivered today, installed easily, and rode with it to work tonight. Temp was about 44F, humidity average. Ok let me just get this out of the way. BEST. THING. EVAR. The shield with insert...

If I can have a moment of your time. Each year, my club, Freedom Warrior M.C. collects and distributes toys to children in need. Most toys are distributed to single mothers in recovery, living in halfway homes, or sober living environments. These women rarely have enough funds for any kind of...

Event : Poker Run and Bike Night hosted by the Freedom Warrior M.C., a clean and sober club based out of Covina Ca. Event will begin with a pancake breakfast, followed by a full Poker Run up and around highway 39, including stops at "In The Wind" in Covina and "Lucky 7 Choppers" in Rancho...

Here's a question you don't hear every day. With the stock Max being notoriously short on stopping power, you might think I'm daft but I'm considering dropping to a single rotor when I upgrade my rims because, well, if you spend 2K+ on rims, you'd like to SEE them. Has anyone run a single up...

By now I'm sure a lot of you have read about this mess. http://www.whittierdailynews.com/ci_12710421 You guys know I belong to a sober club here in So. Cal., and it happens that we're well acquainted with these guys. They attend a lot of the same events that we do, mostly real family...

Shopping around online for parts, pretty sure I'm going to throw a flow meter in line behind the fuel pump, and use a mini digital readout to show actual amount of fuel consumed, maybe use a panel mount display and cut it into the airbox shelter rather than hang something on the bars. Either...

Alright so the real fix for the oil lights tendency to come on under hard acceleration is to ditch the POS level sensor and install a pressure gauge with a warning light output. Let's say you're too lazy to do that and you live near an electronics store, or like me, have random components...
