SOLD...It is with great reluctance that I am putting my customized 2000 Yamaha Vmax up for sale. I have to make room in the garage so my loss is your gain. Mileage is at 11K. This bike has absolutely no rust or scratches. It’s the only bike I have that’s carbureted and it isn’t ridden very...

Somebody had mentioned that they were using an electronic integrater that allowed the rear turn signals to be used as running lights and/or brake lights. I did a search but it must be buried in a thread somewhere. Anyone out there familiar with such a device and where to buy it? I know Kuryakyn...

Lowest I've seen yet. Another couple of months and I'll be able to afford one...

I just installed handlebar risers on my other bike and the bolts that came with them are too short. I need four M8x1.25x70mm cap (hex) head bolts and none of my usual sources have them. Nobody wants to special order only four bolts, either. Yes, I can order them online but $20+ with shipping...

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet. I'm sure it'll make the rounds on the bike forums. http://www.myrtlebeachbikerinfo.com/message.html I was there 2 years ago. The locals let you know they didn't want you around.

..when I'm sitting on it. Interested to see how much this brings with no reserve...

With all that I've read on the carbs, I'm still confused about moving the clips on the needles. If I move the clip towards the blunt end of the needle, is that leaning out or enriching the mixture?

I installed some Harley Grips and Foot pegs and I'd like to put the matching Shift Peg on the bike. I've attached some pictures to show the layout. If I cut the stock shifter off the lever and drill a hole, stick the new shifter's bolt in the hole, cut it flush and weld the end towards the...

I live in PA and had to drive to Chicago today so I thought I'd stop at what I thought was the UFO facility in Strongsville, OH. Turns out the address listed as the ship to address on the UFO website is a Heating contractor business. What gives? I'm sure that when I returned a clutch cover core...

I ride with a bunch of Harley boys and they're always dragging me to the different Harley shops during our rides. I have to say that the Harley dealers know how to treat their Customers. I've eaten a lot of free meals at the customer appreciation events they always seem to be having. Anyway, I...

Does anybody make an adapter to put 1" grips on 7/8" handlebars?? I found some custom grips I really like but they're for Harleys. Also, how about footpeg adapters?? There are so many more choices for the Harley style mounts.

I like the clear engine covers for the Max and while you can buy clear water pump and clutch covers from several vendors, Only Exactrep in England sells the middle gear and stator covers. (Unless you want Otec, super expensive and not a style I like). I ordered their clear middle gear cover...

I just installed one of the oil pressure guages that connects to the threaded opening in the crankcase by the oil level window and was wondering what a normal reading is. it's a stock 2000 motor and I was surprised to see the reading vary so much with the engine rpm. I don't remember ever...

I hate a sissy bar on the Max but every now and then, the little woman graces me with her presence and wants to go for a ride. So, I sold my stock bar and bought a H.A.C. since it goes on and off fairly quickly. What a ugly piece of crap. After sanding, polishing and powdercoating it, I...

Here's another mod I did that kind of evolved on me. I bought the clear lens Mini-turnsignals off Ebay (the Lollipops had to go!) and when I saw that the entire set of 4 was wired for 1157 bulbs I thought great, I'll set the back ones up as running lights, just like the front. Of course...

Too hot to ride this afternoon so I thought I share a couple of little things I did to the max. The first post is for the cylinder plates. I wanted a bit more detail on the engine but all of the aftermarket plates were a little gaudy for me so I modified my own. First, I checked to make sure...

I just received and installed my Sportmax seat yesterday, just in time for Thunder ( I ordered it 9/07!). I have my original seat that was cut down and reshaped by the original owner. He had it done professionally and it's a great job. It's not as radical as the Sportmax but it also doesn't lock...

A week or two ago I put a 170/80-15 Shinko on the back with a stock rim and swing arm. I was surprised how much clearance I had so I assumed the Shinko ran a little small compared to other 170's. I wanted to order a front tire to match (even though I'm not ready for one yet) so I ordered the...

I found these hanging in a Yamamha shop on the way home from NY last week. They have a clear lens and yellow LEDs. I wasn't going to hook up the lights but I did and found I liked them. When the bikes parked, the clear lens is a much cleaner look. They're made by Show Chrome, the links are...

Does this tire fit the stock rim and clear the stock swingarm? Just picked up a nail and I need a cheap one for the summer until I do the 18" conversion. I can get this one shipped for $84.00.
