    Phone mounts?

    I have the X mount on mine and love it. I have another ball mounted on my bicycle and move the mount to the bike I'm riding at the time. It is very secure and adaptable.

    Eureka Springs Rally may30th-april 1st

    I was really looking forward to this because I read about it in when I lived in Utah, and now I live right down the road from Eureka. However, I found out my family is coming into town that se week to visit. What are the planned activities, and if I could only choose one, which should I choose?

    240mm rear tire on Vmax 1700 ???

    I haven't done this to mine, but I have ridden one. It was pretty nice. The turning takes a bit more, and I have heard that it will drop a couple horses, but I would like to do it to mine sometime. Check out starvmax.com. They have several threads on the 240 conversion.

    Vmax Mods

    I really like the black chrome. Where did you get it done?

    Japanese girl on a V-Max...

    I was having trouble getting past the mirrors. Those things are huge. The first thing I do on a bike is to put on a pair of lower-profile, bar-end mirrors.

    A few simple cosmetic mods + forward controls

    I love the black look. The CBR taillight will look really good on there.

    riding with passengers

    My wife has told me it isn't too bad. But we are both in our 20's though. I think with an after market passenger seat and a sissy bar it would be as comfortable as it gets unless you have a Goldwing.

    Starter motor

    I pulled the motor out still attached to the cross bar. There are 4 bolts (If I remember correctly) attaching the cross bar on the sides.

    Auto Knives

    Extrema Ratio is made in Italy. The blade is made of N690 cobalt stainless steel, while the handle is made from a coated aluminum (it feels like a flat black powder coat). I use the knife for concealed carry, and haven't put it to the test in everyday situations, but it is pretty large and I...

    Auto Knives

    I played with a Benchmade auto otf a couple years ago in the knife store when I became interested in the microtechs. But I never like the "loose" feel of the blade that is inherent in any otf knife. I also like a solid feel to my knives. The knives that I have been impressed with are the...

    Does anybody know this bike/owner?

    I just bought an '09 from Texas (about 5.5 hours away from me). I "met" the guy on the starvmax forum. We just exchanged numbers, and I asked him to send me a video of a (preferably) cold start on the bike. He posted the video to his Youtube account. We talked over the phone, and orchestrated...

    Speedometer light out!

    Yes. You will need to purchase a resistor for each turn signal. I do not recall what the specs were on the resistors, but the guy behind the counter handed me the LED signals and some resistors, and they worked. No resistors needed for any of the instrument panel LED's though.

    Speedometer light out!

    I did the red LEDs from the threads Mike posted, and they look great. I highly suggest doing the LED bulbs. Cheap and easy to change.

    New to me bugout toy

    I was just out riding today, and saw one of these for sale down the road. It was an '01 (I think) with 103K miles going for $7200. I think they would be great car to put a lift and some off road tires on.

    Cleaning your Baby

    I have been into detailing over the last year. I found that there is definitely a hierarchy of quality to products. Maguire's NXT line up is close to the highest quality you will find in big box stores. However, buying online is definitely worth it. I really enjoy products by Chemical Guys out...
