    Any info for the ride on Saturday? We're staying over at Buffalo Bob's campground just east of town and would like to go.

    Southwest Dyno Day 2021

    What part of Dallas do you live in? Wife and I are in DeSoto. We'll be bringing the 5th wheel up along with my 09. Her 94 carbs still need some work, unless I put the ones from my 86 in it.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Major surgery on the Gen2. Finally installed the L3K 6.6 gallon fuel tank. PITA is all I can say. Installed new rubber front and back. Installed the ST2 Smart Turn System. Love the self-cancelling turn signal. Can't believe that Gen 1 has it but Gen 2 doesn't. Also installed the ST2...

    Finally cleaning up carbs

    Cleaning the carbs on Kellie's 94. Picked up an inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner off of ebay and some Shellac Buster. I have them reassembled, but not back in the bike yet. She hadn't ridden it for a couple of years due to a bad ankle sprain from a 1 1/2 years ago. Had surgery early last year...

    Gen 2 Gas Tank?

    If I ever manage to get my larger tank installed, my stock one will be for sale. I hope to have it installed before Bikes Blues and BBQ in Fayetteville next month.

    L3K tanks - back in stock

    Well, after getting really tired of the ~100 mile range while riding around Fayetteville last month, I finally decided to bite the bullet. Ordered one today. Supposed to be here 11/11. Should be a fun project for the winter. Now I need to rebuild the clutch master and slave on my '86 so...

    Anyone used POR-15 motorcycle tank repair kits?

    I used that kit on my wife's vmax 7 or 8 years ago. I can't say enough good about it. I plan on using it on my bike when I strip it down to the frame, hopefully later this year.

    Wichita, KS Dyno day

    Just some friendly ribbing, buddy! We'll be back up that way in 2 weeks. It looks like a busy weekend for us between packing up the last of our stuff in storage, graduation on Saturday in Lincoln and a family get-together on Sunday, but we might have time get together for a beer.

    Wichita, KS Dyno day

    Was there ever a decision made on the hotel? Kellie and I are looking to book a room. We're going to be trailering the bikes up from DFW. Not sure if we will head up on Friday or Saturday morning. For Topeka, we had started riding down on Friday afternoon, then did some area rides on...

    Wichita, KS Dyno day

    Kellie and I are planning on attending....:biglaugh: The weekend of July 26th and 27th is about the only weekend that does not work out for us. We will be back in the Omaha area for that weekend. I just need to pick which bike to bring along. Although we have started looking at trailers, so...

    Officially a new Gen 2 owner!

    Thanks! I was able to take it to work on Tuesday and Wednesday last week. Morning temps 25 Tuesday and around 30 on Wednesday. I couldn't hold off on riding it! Kellie didn't even complain when I told her I was taking it to work (a miracle in itself this time of year). Forecast isn't...

    Officially a new Gen 2 owner!

    No crash. This was previously owned by a local Doctor. He took great care of it! Kellie has a very critical eye and she couldn't find anything wrong with it. From what I heard, he just liked the 2010 color better after it came out. It's kind of funny, but he is the doctor that one of our...

    Officially a new Gen 2 owner!

    We'll have to wait and see! I haven't heard if we're going to have a dyno day next year. Either way, the gang from Omaha has been talking about making a weekend trip of it no matter what. Right now, I'm hoping for a streets to clear up from the snow we had so that I can get it home! Kellie...

    Officially a new Gen 2 owner!

    That was the other reason. I had heard that red was the fastest color!

    Officially a new Gen 2 owner!

    After years of waiting, I'm officially the owner of a lightly used '09 (4500 miles). My wife, Kellie, decided to get me an early Christmas present. She wanted to surprise me, but she couldn't keep it a secret. That and the fact that she didn't know which one I preferred, the 2009 or 2014...

    VMOA South Great Plains Regional dyno event 2013

    We're looking forward to it. It was a miserable ride home last year with the triple digit temperature. What time are we leaving tomorrow?

    Picked up the Carrozzeria's - Chrome is sweet!!!

    The wife more than likely will put ME880's on hers. She really liked the 16,000+ miles she has on her current bias ones. I have a Shinko Verge on the front right now. I might go with the Shinko Stealth 180/55 on the rear, since I don't have the notched swingarm to fit the 200.

    Picked up the Carrozzeria's - Chrome is sweet!!!

    Thank you so much, Sean! We have to pick up tires yet for my rear and for both of the wife's, but they look great!! :punk: I started putting together the wish list after visiting the shop last week. We'll have to see what happens over the winter...

    Omaha Nebraska area

    My wife, Kellie and I both ride Vmaxes. There are a few in the Omaha area, but we haven't been very good at getting together for group rides, with the exception of our yearly jaunt to Topeka for Dyno Day.
