Yeah, I have one of those. I’m just not confident of its ability to hold up a bike as heavy as the vmax.

I used #4 machine screws. It seem pretty sturdy still but I guess I’ll have to let you know once riding season begins in May. Too cold & wet to insure it right now.

It would be nice to have an aftermarket brake pedal/lever with a little better casting quality than original. The original pedal gets the job done but I found it to be a fairly crude casting. I spent about 4-5 hours stripping off the paint, filing smooth and then polishing to a nice shine...

The pedal is cast aluminum so it’s pretty easy to work with. The tab is made with 1/8” extruded. I had to file a flat spot on the backside of the pedal where the tab goes. I found you have to be super careful drilling and tapping the holes for the machine screws because the aluminum is very...

This little mod is inspired by something I saw on another bike. It’s just a little tab attached to the brake pedal by a couple of machine screws. I wanted something that would orient my foot on the pedal and keep my boot from rubbing through the paint on the engine case.

I am not a big fan of customizing bikes because usually the result falls outside my tastes. Your redesign of the original vmax however is just so well executed. It just hit my eyes and filled them with the kind of happy even COVID can’t take away. Props man, you nailed it.

I considered them but the decorative metal bit on the side doesn’t make much sense. It seemed like they would look kind of ugly after being scratched in a fall. I inquired about replacement pads and they are $60 each. I preferred having something where the sliding pad part is cheap/easy to...

I repaired mine using this aluminium body filler. It is VERY tough to sand but it’s much harder than regular filler and very heat tolerant too. It comes out a silvery colour. I decided to paint both of mine that matte silver colour that I’ve seen on the tip of lots of newer bike exhaust. I’m...

I have a 2019, and I too was inspired by the Raven black look. I was surprised however when I saw it in bright daylight. Every part of the bike is either a different shade of black or a different gloss level. I repainted my scoops the same colour as the engine block. The original paint on them...

This is almost guaranteed. Currently, in most places, a significant portion of gasoline taxes pay for the maintenance and improvement of roads. Right now, governments are leaving electric vehicle to operate road tax free because they want to encourage the development of the technology. Once...

I have never understood the fascination with loud exhaust. Loud doesn't mean fast, conversely it often means slower. I'm happy with my exhaust making the minimal sound necessary as long as they support performance. Anything else is just showing off and to some extent... posing. Yeah I've...

Ok now I see where some of the stuff I’ve seen in photos comes from. I guess I came late to the party so I missed out. I love my max but the tailpipes have a slightly incomplete look.

Whoa! Those tailpipe tips look amazing! Where did you get them?

That makes sense. They certainly look the same. Thanks!

I have been looking for a more adjustable set of levers for my 2019 Vmax as I find the clutch lever to be too long. Many of the websites I have looked at say things like 2009-2016 as compatible model years. Was there a major change in 2017? It doesn't look like much more that a change in...

It's too bad that there isn't something that would go in the open hole on the left side axl as then it wouldn't involve installing anything.

Thanks! That’s just what I need. Is it possible to put a bike on one of these single handed or is it a two person job?

After dreaming about being an owner since 1985, I finally got a Vmax of my own about 1 month ago. I would like to have some method of vertically standing my 2019 Gen II Vmax for oil changes and other maintenance. The weight of the bike makes me nervous about experimenting so I am looking for...
