    Lost spark while riding....

    Just as the title says. I was riding in town, and the old vmax coasted to a stop. Checked the fuses and they are good. All other electrical works, lights, starter, signals, ect. Will look at it closer tomorrow, but it seems like sudden loss of spark while running isnt very common. Ever...

    Vrod headlight and Windscreen opinions PLEASE!

    I have my Vrod headlight mounted and wired! Now I am mocking up a windscreen that I have had for several years and dreamed of putting it on the Max. I know ultimately it is up to me, but what do you think? Note: The mounts are not finished and i am not exactly sure where the mini blinkers...

    Want to trade for a Venture rear drive?

    I have a Venture rear drive on my Max. I put it on last spring because I busted the Vmax pinion gear. Thought I might as well upgrade as long as it had to be replaced. It is nice for highway cruising. I find myself running in 4th at times, delighted to find another gear there. BUT, I like the...

    Broken Pinion Shaft....What now?

    Yup, I broke the pinion shaft, right where the nut holds it on. My main question is, what do I do now? I can get a whole new assembly for $775, (dealer buddy price, but ouch!) or should i pick up a used assembly from ebay with unknown milage, or should I roll up my sleeves and rebuild my own? I...

    Can't get below 2nd gear?

    As the title says, I cannot get my bike below 2nd gear. When the bike is running or when it is not running. It will upshift ok to 5th gear, and will return down to 2nd. On downshifting, I must rock the bike to get it to fully shift to each gear. When I am at 2nd gear, I cannot get to neutral...

    Marks Performance Exhaust

    I vote for Marks. I just installed mine this weekend. Top of the line stuff. Not real loud, not quiet. I had my pipes to my door in 2.5 weeks from Mark. My system is 4-2, mild steel, ceramic coated black, with 14" brushed alluminum cans. This is my 1st vmax, and I am sure I will have more...

    Wheelie Wobble anyone?

    New to my max here.... Its a 1991 with 53k miles. New tires, front and rear. I have never touched the front forks...yet. They are flush in the triples. At slow speed, high speed, whatever I have no wobbles. The steering stem bearings seem to be in good condition. I do get one slight...
