    I bought a wrecker

    I bought a 2001 VFR800 in dire need of lovin'. It was dumped on both sides, clutch issues, the home depot fastener mod, and no documented services other than the oil had been changed a few times. I've replaced the right side fairing (ebay!) the tail light, and buffed out the remaining...

    front tire suggestions

    I have 18s front and back. I run a 180/55R18 Metzler marathon on the rear and a 110/80R18 Metzler Z6 on the front. As far as I am concerned, I am happy with both tires. I'd like to change the size of my front. Going to a 120/70 seems logical but I'm afraid it will be smaller than the 110/80...

    a more comfortable seat for less than half the cost?

    Buy 43mm clip ons. My wrists and neck hurt so much I forgot about my ass. :biglaugh: I really love the feel the clip ons provide. I'll get used to it.

    what bikes have you had that were quicker than the Vmax?

    It's funny. I meet two kinds of people who know about the Vmax. 1: It's the fastest bike on the face of the earth still. 2: It's a 600lb turd that's on par performance-wise with a virago 1100 I've had a Hayabusa, a ZZR1200, a CBR1100XX, an FJR1300, an 07 R6 and a few other bikes that once...

    gooping the clutch cover

    idiot me never ordered a clutch cover gasket thinking I'd salvage my original one. It came off in about 17 pieces. Since it's not a cover that's actually holding any real amount of oil, can I use gasket maker until I get a new gasket?

    easy barnett question

    I bought a Barnett clutch kit. (the purple one) The instructions are a single page showing that you removed the old one and bolt in the new one. Is it that easy? I haven't taken a Vmax clutch apart in 10 years and remember none of it.

    Score of the day

    I was at the bike dealer today when a guy was trading in his R1 and giving all of his riding gear to the salesman with it. He's no longer going to ride. He traded it in on a 4 wheeler. After he left the salesman (a good friend of mine) asked me if I wanted an Arai RX7 John Hopkins helmet...

    Swatt clip ons

    I bought a set of Swatt 43mm clip ons with a 1.5 inch rise for the Vmax (to mount under the triple clamp as I don't want to lower my bike). Anyone else do this yet or am I blazing a trail here? My only concern is clearing the squared top clamp with the bar. No rise clip ons would have been...

    Wow! Your new Vmax is awesome Mr. P!

    I've had a half dozen people say my 2002 Vmax is the new Vmax. I had one guy on a Road Glide pull along side me in traffic on the way back from the mountains to say mine was the first one he'd seen. Since 1985? He goes, oh, I thought that was the new one. Two weeks ago I rode to the...

    Galfer wave rotors (F and R)

    It's been almost a week since I've bought anything for my bike and I'm thinking about grabbing a set of these for the front and rear. I've read the "what pads" to use thread so I'm covered there. Anyone using these? waste of money performance wise and strickly bling factor? :eusa_dance:

    Cool/Funny/Sad bike shop stories.

    I have several. I'll just share one right now. My buddy owns a shop in western Va. He has a new, in crate, never prepped, 1985 GSXR 750. (dry clutch and all) The sad part...he won't sell it to me.....yet!

    cheating spouses.

    Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my Vmax next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of...

    Loved Bike (Vmax doesn't count!)

    What bike do you wish you hadn't broken up with? 5 months ago, I would have answered Vmax, but I started dating another. I'm going with a twofer. My 2000 SV650 with a few suspension additions. And my FJR1300 ABS. 25k in less than 12 months. Instead of the SV I...
