Hey All, I have decided that I am going to take on a little project this coming year. I've always enjoyed diesel motors, and figured, why not throw one in a bike? I am in the very early stages of planning right now, but I think I've got the motor chosen, and the transmission probably picked...

Hey All, I've been slowly coming to the conclusion that I may have to sell my Max to help pay for stuff around the house...actually losing sleep over selling it vs paying bills. I don't really want to do it, but at this point, it might be the only way. What I'm trying to figure out is what...

Hey All, I am going to be ordering a set of Mark's pipes for my 97, and I had figured on doing the ceramic coated steel unless someone can convince me otherwise. I'd have them be black to match the original color of the exhaust on my bike. I'm also thinking of going with 14" cans with 2.5"...

Hey All, I've been thinking of doing some stuff to my bike, (which is mostly stock) and thought it would be neat to put a turbo on it, but the only bikes I'm seeing that have turbos are the ones that are racing. Does anyone have a street ridden Vmax that has a turbo? Is it just not feasible...

Hey All, Now that I've got my bike to ride like I want it to, I am considering making it faster and pull harder. I know the exhaust in stock form is more restricted, so to fully benefit, I'm guessing I'd need to upgrade to a full system, and then do something like a stage 7 kit from Sean...

Hey All, Among the many projects I did this spring, I put solid engine mounts in my 97, along with that, I sync'd the carbs, put new progressive shocks in the rear, (front springs were last summer) put bar end mirrors on it, and put a Morley seat on it. I'm sure it's because of the solid...

Hey All, I've got pretty much the hole rear end of my Max tore apart waiting to put in solid engine mounts. After tearing it all the way down, I replaced the oil seal and O ring on the middle gear assembly, which looked to be bad. Looking the rest of the bike over, my shifter seal was very...

Hey all, I would like to get a smaller than stock turn signals all the way around for Max, as the large lollypop looks kind if dated...but worry that people behind or meeting me on the highway won't see me. I had a set of small blinkers on a Gixxer I used to run, and unless you were riding...

Hey All, My 97 has chrome Supertrapp exhaust on it. If I'm not mistaken, the 97's had black exhaust from the factory to match the rest of the bike. These pipes have blued about half way to the rear...makes it look kind of sad. I've had wheels powdercoated before, and it makes me wonder if...

Hey All, Hopefully I am posting this in the correct spot, as it is my first post. This past summer I bought a 97 V-max, and have been chasing some minor engine oil leaks on it. I think I've got them all cleared up except one. It is hard for me to tell, but it appears that it comes out the...
