    Digital Oil Gauges?

    Is there such a thing? I know Cycle One Off is the go-to for oil pressure kits, by my handlebars are cramped as it is. I was looking at getting their waterpump mount kit: http://www.cycleoneoff.com/vmaxpag2.html However I'd kind of like to do what Warp did, and install this then disable...

    Yet another 2nd gear thread

    2006... less than 4000 miles on it. 2000 miles of that are mine. Got the bike last August, knew about the 2nd gear and put it through some paces without issue. Heading into winter rather than a vBoost filled blast I had a slip a time or two. Changed the oil, no more problems... now it's...

    First Amendment and your Privacy at Risk

    Shut up about guns for a moment and direct your attention to a bill aimed at giving your government legal power not only to monitor your activity on the internet, but to censor it as well. CISPA 2.0 This came up and got shot down last year. They're at it again in the name of security.

    HOW TO: Remove Rust From Chrome

    The Tools ----------------------- Vinegar for surface rust. - Contains acid that makes short work of light rust. It can eat the metal and any coatings as well if left for extended periods of time. I suggest 1-2 hours max, but it's up to you. Lots of people have left their rusty tools and...

    OEM Engine gaurd install instructions

    I got a set used on ebay and it didn't come with any fasteners, washers, etc. Curious if any of you guys have the install instructions you might be able to scan or know where I can find em. Just looking for a parts list and what fasters are to be re-used (if any) and what I should run out to...

    Gap on bar for aftermarket grips

    So I got some driven grips for xmas and thought, rather than get the driven bar ends to match I'll take it up a notch and get these things instead: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046JQN52/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 I took both the stock grips off without much trouble. Just worked it...

    RaceTech Springs and Emulators For 05+

    I'm looking at ordering RaceTech emulators (S4301) which are supposed to work with the late model gen 1 forks. I heard some murmors though that the forks were further refined in 05. Do these still work in 05/06/07 forks? Any adjustments necessary?

    Everything Handlebars (Gauges/Grips/Mirrors/Etc)

    At the moment I just have a slipstreamer shield quick release mount on the bars. Planning for the future though. This is what I think I'm arriving at for the cockpit: Driven D3 Grips. Black on black baby. Going with these over the Kury options because they're alloy/PVC and no rubber. The...

    Sissy Bar and Rack Compatibility

    The Maxgasser is all but certainly in my bike's future. So is a sissy bar and rack. I've decided on either the Exactrep sissy/luggage combo or a Renntech sissy/luggage combo. Whichever I can find first at firesale prices. I looked over some customer photos and such and didn't see the...

    2012 Chicago Toys For Tots Parade

    65,000 other bikes and I did not see a single other V-Max there. Not another Gen-1, and not even a Gen-2. You guys need to get your butts to Chicago and represent! This is the single biggest 1-day rally in the country. My Max all holiday'd up. In downtown Chicago a fair few of...

    Caliper piston popped out

    :oops: I was installing my new brake pads and taking the opportunity to can-o-air out all the brake dust and what not while I was at it. On the front left brake I noticed one piston was a lot more recessed than the other 3, and grabbed a 1x4 to slide into the middle to be sure the pistons...

    Fiscal Cliff

    This is going to be a running narrative in the news for the rest of the year and so I figured I'd give a summary of what is being discussed. I'm trying my best to keep opinions out of this and give a 'just the facts' summary. How did we get here? Last year when the debt ceiling was about to be...

    Trip Reports Labor Day Edition

    No doubt a fair few of you spent some of the 3-day weekend on the road. Lets hear and/or see all about it :) My wife, some friends, and I went on a ride of about 50 miles through some forest preserves. Beautiful scenery, windy roads and paths, and plenty of room to open up between...

    Missing hose?

    Missing hose? (Answered) Loud occasional clicking? The max has been a dream bike of mine for awhile. I found a 2006 with a meager 2000 miles on it and have been doing my best to double that before the season is out :) This bike is too nice of a machine to live as a garage ornament! Anyway...
