    regulator / rectifier on '99

    hi all, at the risk of getting screamed at... i could not find a topic that tells me how you guys get access to that regulator... i cant seem to figure out how to get it out... any help? I have to check if indeed that is my problem but i'm betting on it. Went for about an hour ride and when...

    Need your opinion on v-max lables

    I got my scoops and covers chromed back from Sean! Just can't get enough of the looks... hahahaha! Thanks Sean. Ok, so now for the question... for those of you that have chromed the covers, do you guys think that the "v-max" emblems should go back on or just leave them off?

    Kawi Ninja 250 2005

    What stopped you from getting the Ninja? I was thinking of doing the same thing.... My son (22) has moved back in the area and he has stated that he wants to ride. There is one for sale close to me for 900 bucks. 32K miles on a 95. I know is a bit old but as a starter bike for a kid it...

    Cortech bags

    I see that you have them installed with no mods! I didn't care for how close the were to me. I'll post some pics as soon as I can. I did get rid of the lights and installed them on the license plate and as I said installed some home-made brackets to stop them from any friction to the fender and...

    Cortech bags

    I have the corthech saddlebags (first ones, not the sport ones). Had to change the rear directionals, which ended up in something I liked anyway. I also had to install a flat bar to keep them away from the bike. All in all good bags, I have no regrets.

    radar detector

    Well after today I find the need to invest on a radar detector.... needless to say I got a ticket.... 78 on a 55. "But it was a flat long road", the cop didtn care.... So, I did a search and nothing came up on radar detectors, are you guys using any? And if so which ones. They can be pricy...

    Tank bag?

    I went with the Cortech super mini tank bag and the Cortech saddlebags (http://www.newenoughhp.com/luggage/all_types/cortech_by_tour_master/) Don't forget you will have to relocate the signal lights pretty much for whatever saddlebags you choose. I tried a few others from friends but they were...

    temperature too high?

    Thanks Cop Runner. I know a guy that has a laser thermometer and will take some readings just to check. At this point I have installed the by-pass toggle but have not been able to test it as it has not been that hot here. The only time the bike actually got hot is when stuck in traffic, and...

    temperature too high?

    Mod done! Thanks guys. Now I just have to wait and see the results. At least I will have control and won't have to panic at near red mark!

    temperature too high?

    Summer is here...... at least in California. I have searched and seen a few posts on the temperature gauge on the V-Max but yet have to come to a good conclusion. I took the Max out for a ride a couple of weekends ago with temperatures over 100 F. The gauge got to almost red (in city...
