    What it is all?

    Haven't been around in a while. Sold my Yamabobber XJ, haven't touched the XS since I got it down to a frame and found out the motor is a paperweight/mock up motor. Anyway, been busy with life and what not. Decided to get back into boating since I've missed my old boat so bad and some...

    ANOTHER New Project, Bobber/Chopper #2

    So I picked up what I've been looking for for a while, and it was FREE! It's pretty rough, and about the going rate for a bike like this in this condition, but I don't care, I have the building blocks I need to start with on the bike. The XS 650 The engine seems to be siezed at the moment, so...

    Had some time, recent bobber pics

    Had a little time so I thought I'd snag some better pics of the bike. I think I may end up selling it here before too long, as soon as I get some kinks worked out and cleaned up.

    Got a project

    Not a VMax but it is from Ma' Yamaha. Well I had chalked it up this year to not getting a bike due to some other obligations. Thanks to a certain friend that wouldn't let that go, I got into a bike on the cheap in the form of an 81 Yamaha XJ650. I got it home, put it on the battery charger...

    Ungratefull citizens? I tend to agree

    I don't tend to post my views on these things as I don't have a lot of time to defend them. For the most part people aren't going to sway how they view things, but debate their side of it anyway. I found this on another forum. I'm not sure David Letterman wrote it, but supposidly he did...

    The questions/comments on my 'Busa

    From all I've read on the trans is that it's a common issue. I've read several guys with less than 1000 miles on their bikes having the issue. *Shrugs* I've owned the bike a month now and it's had nothing but issues since I got it. I hope I'm over the last hurdle. Right now it's geard -1...

    Last Indianola Bike Night

    September 19th, who's wanting to show? Always a good time, live band, mobile dyno, food vendors etc.... I'm in for sure. Not putting the new trans in until after this.

    Well, the Max is gone tomorrow

    Sold the VMax to my father in law. He's picking it up tomorrow. I'll be picking up the new whip either this weekend when I drop off my Dart, or the following week flying out to Rhode Island and riding it back to Des Moines, Iowa. I have it narrowed down to those two bikes (same model)...

    Picked up a new toy

    Those that are offended by firearms, skip to the bottom, read my sig, and go no further. ;) Seriously though, I'm not debating firearms or the use/carry of them in this thread on this forum. Well I picked it up today, and all I had to take photos with was my camcorder. It's a Para Ordnance...

    Horrid noise on occasional start up

    From what I've read I think I know what it is, but I'll ask anyway. Every now and again, and it's happening more frequent now, when cranking the engine over the starter or something makes a nasty sound. I get off the start button, try again, good as gold. Starter clutch replacement time or...

    Shinko's for the 18's

    I'm sure it's been said on here but I can't find it. :bang head: I'm going with a set of Cazzy wheels over the winter and want to go with a Shinko rear d/r. Is there such a beast?

    Beating on some Victory Motorcycles!

    So the short of it is Jason and I headed out to Newton Saturday as Victory had all of their motorcycles at the Newton Speedway free to ride. We roll out there on the bikes, show 'em our licenses, and we're off riding. We took every Victory model around the high banks, and then in and around...

    So it's broke

    Took the Max out for a ride today with a friend that just picked up his '85 with similar mods, and a friends sporty. We got on it and I've noticed since I put my dyna on that it doesn't seem to be pulling quite as hard and I'm not carrying the front tire when I snag 2nd or 3rd like I used to...

    So I got my Dyna

    I was washing the bike up today getting ready for the bike nights going on tonight and the mail showed up. Wadda ya know, my Dynatek finally showed. I got done washing the bike and was getting ready to start looking for the stock ignition box when Jeff called me. I asked where the box was and...

    Carb sync with V-Boost open and removed

    So a friend of mine just picked up a VMax, and should be putting up pix of it this week, but anyway. The previous owner didn't seem to be all that handy after looking the bike over. After fixing a few things, like getting the l/h side carbs all the way back into the boots haha and the 265 mile...

    My wife wants her own bike

    So my wife has never ridden a motorcycle before, and has expressed interested in doing so. Since the only bike I have is the Max, I told her to go take the Motorcycle course at the local Comm College as I hear it's great and get her license that way. I was looking for a beginer bike for her...

    Cam swap

    I can't seem to find where I got the info, but I was looking at the PCW 3 cams and I was thinking it was in the neighborhood of almost 10 rwhp or something in that area. This being said, it's 700 for cams, 125 for spring kit, and whatever for gaskets so I'm around $900.00 to do cams. Is it...
