It is confusing on the parts diagram because all the bikes from 85 up all have the same pdf and part number but they are a different part. The one on my 1997 frame is definitely not straight but 100% stock. Here is a pic of the cross bar on my 1997 frame completely stock. The engine on my bike...

Sean, The one in my pic was a photo I grabbed off the internet. I think it was part of a kit someone sold on eBay. The one on my bike a 1997 frame is bent like that but stock.

That’s definitely straight not the newer one. I would suggest contacting Sean Morley [email protected] or perhaps CaptainKyle CaptainKyle I’m sure if we can’t make a deal they can get you the correct cross bar. Greg

I’m not opposed to that but what does yours look like? I had my frame freshly powder coated when I first built the bike so I would not be very thrilled to get one in trade that needs to be re coated. Cost new on partzilla is $52.45 plus shipping. I guess send me a pic of yours and make me an...

Perfect first bike……. Said nobody ever🤣🤣🤣 That being said my first bike was the original 1985 V-Max. Cute kid and welcome to the forum.

Hi Adam welcome! I got my first V-Max on Maui in 1992 it was a 1985 with a Hindle 4/1 exhaust and stage 7 jet kit. I started drag racing it. I typically ran in the 11.90 bracket but I was able to run a few 10.90’s Good luck🤙🏼

I’m selling my spin on oil filter conversion plate with a new un used filter for $50.00 shipped. This is for the older generation V-Max 1200 that has the cartridge type filter. I recently switched to a Hindle 4/1 exhaust and this no longer works for me as the #1 exhaust header now crosses direct...

I decided to have fish and chips for lunch so I hopped on the bike and rode out to Pacific city on the coast and had lunch at the Pelican brewery. It was a beautiful fall day. Thanks to the wife for the heated handgrips. I had to use them today. I guess summer is over.

Wow very nice build. Chain drive conversion has always been on my list. Who does a chain drive conversion these days? Last I herd Mad Max wasn’t doing it anymore?

That is a perfect first bike. Great choice. My first bike was a 1985 V-Max. Fortunately for me I was terrified of it and rode it very carefully for the first year. After that I was drag racing spinning the tire halfway down the track Or trying to keep the front end down 🤣

Congratulations that bike looks brand new

I found a few decent stock exhaust options on eBay but they aren’t cheep. I would suggest contacting Sean Morley at [email protected] he seems to have a fair amount of stock on hand. Back in the day “1990’s” I had a V-Max with Hindle headers that hung pretty low and one pipe got dented by a speed...

I don’t think there is much I don’t think there’s much I haven’t done to this bike. The engine is a PCW 1500cc long rod. I bought it from Sean freshly rebuilt by PCW. The carbs are 39mm flat sides with true ram air scoops from now out of business UFO. 2002 R1 front end with triple trees made by...

I'm cleaning out some parts and have listed them on eBay. Thanks for looking. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195853667268?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UY6WJjWhSKa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=UY6WJjWhSKa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Iv’e also got a set of stock air scoops and a stock...

Ethanol fuel is the worst. If I had to guess after sitting all winter this could be your problem. It collects moisture. Either drain the tank and add new fuel or add a gas treatment like sea foam “ not a full can” just a 1/4 can should do unless you want a full on smoke show. This should clean...

I should have taken a sound bite before I removed it. It sounds like a small block 350. Not raspy at all. A nice low rumble when Idling around town. And just bad ass when jamming through the gears.

I don’t have the quad setup but I do have a UFO exhaust ceramic coated with Hole Shot cans that I’m wanting to sell. It’s in great shape.

My favorite colors also done by Sean. I had a neighbor that had a 1996 Corvette Grand Sport and once I saw the paint I had to have it.

Sean set me up with one of his seats. It came in today and wow is it comfortable. Way better than stock and I think it looks awesome. Thanks Sean.
