    Michigan Event July 8-9

    Thanks to everyone who did the work putting this ride together. I had lots of fun and learned more about my bike in two days, than in the three years that I've owned it. See you all next next year.

    A short vid to share with your Harley friends.

    That's the touring windscreen sold at the Yamaha accessory online store.

    gen 2 top speed

    I agree with Itgoes. I hit 167 indicated on my speedo on one occasion. Since then, I installed a speedohealer and I believe the actual top speed is closer to 155. 4-2 exhaust, h-pipe, modified air box w/ k&n filter and Nash flash.

    For sharing with your Harley friends. Noise and HP are not always related, as in the case of Harley Davidson. Hope this gives you a good laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBhz7X-S5Eo

    Video Log with Gen2

    You're welcome. That's the idea, I wanted to be different. I like riding, I like politics, and I love my country and I'm scared as to where we're going. I figured it was better than watching a couple of talking heads on TV talking about the same stuff.

    Video Log with Gen2

    I thought I'd start a video blog mixing fun and issues into one package. This one is about my thoughts on Bernie Sanders and his desire to ban fracking, should he become president. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/7u_nFisoHoE

    Third gear is addicting

    I hear that, I get 25 mpg if I keep out of the throttle and less than 20mpg when I'm gettin on it, but like you said, way more fun. I guess if you want HP, you gotta burn some gas, right?

    Turn Signal replacement Help?

    I tried the posi type connectors and didn't like them....too bulky. I used butt connectors instead.

    Turn Signal replacement Help?

    I think I can help you as I recently did new turn signals last month. I have mine set up for run/turn both front and rear and I there is dimming as you describe, quite the opposite. When they flash, it's on/off, on/off. I used a special module between the flasher unit and the signals. The...

    Michigan Event July 8-9

    I missed this ride last year because of a conflict with my 50th Birthday Party. I'll be there this time, looking forward to seeing everyone.

    Rear Stand

    I don't know if this could be modified to work with a VMAX or not, but the price is right. http://www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-swingarm-rear-stand-65620.html

    L3K tanks - back in stock

    As much as I love riding this beast, I'm ready to get off after about an hour and a half for a little stretch. That's just about how much time I have before I need to hit the next gas station. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never came close to getting 110 miles before the next...

    Gen 2 windshield

    I am using the same windshield that sal98 posted pictures of and I love it. It does a nice job of channeling the wind away from my torso and seems to just blend in with the rest of the bike.

    Bar End Mirrors

    I've been looking into some bar end mirrors as well as I hate the chrome stockers, it's like the only chrome on the entire bike and it doesn't match. I was looking at these because I thought the brushed aluminum and black went with the looks of the bike...

    New Turn Signal Mods

    I wanted the UFO Radiance front signals, but I think I like this better. I got the idea from a member over at starvmax. I got the integrated tail late from a rider friend nearby.

    Tires

    Shinko Verge, front and rear. I got 7000 miles on back and twice as many on front before change out. I drop my rear tire using an aftermarket stand like a Harris. I change the front tire by using a soft nylon sling under handlebars and chain fall hoist hung on rafters. Both tires are easy to...

    Front/rear wheel removal

    I put my bike on a rear stand, like a Harris and raise the front end. by putting a soft nylon sling under the handlebars and attaching the sling to a chainfall hoist suspended from the rafters in my garage.

    PlanetVmax/UFO Cycles in legal trouble?

    I just got this on my FB from a fellow rider and he quotes. "Just spoke with the head mechanic from UFO.... Doors are shackled shut with rent a cops in place... Cease and desist order has been issued....." I just went to the website and tried to buy something and the link to the store...

    gen 2

    If you don't care about how well your bike turns in the twisties, then get the fat tire. I once rode a Victory Hammer on a test ride with the 240 and I didn't like the way it "klunked" in the turns. A buddy of mine has a Gen 2 and he dropped down to a 180 rear tire, claiming better performance...

    I made gixer friend today.

    I rode for about 20 minutes on the freeway with a guy on a GSXR1000. We both got on the throttle, passing each other other back and fourth and just all around having fun. At one point, we were side by side, running about 90 and we both hit the throttle and pretty much went neck and neck up to...
