    Brighter 1157s in the taillight. (wired to BLINK with the Signal Dynamics BACK OFF brake light modulator) Custom Dynamics LED license plate bracket. (dual intensity, operates normally - bypasses the SD Backoff brake modulator) Then I added a yellow LED reflector to the luggage. I tap into the...

    Please help. Knock/slip at high speed??

    2001 Stock 24,000 miles. All original parts. When running over 65mph, 5th gear... rpms somewhere around the standard 4,000 or wherever it is at that speed... anyway, I hammer the throttle, and moments later I may, or may not, hear and feel a single KICK. This noise is occurring somewhere...

    Please give me your opinion on driving light location

    I want to add driving lights, but don't want to alter the style, etc. I am considering 2 options: See yellow marks on pic. A) a single horizontal LED strip ( Or a rectangular fog type) under the main headlight, somehow attached to the headlight bracket. B) adding two bullet...

    Final mod, brake light when in neutral.

    I decided I wanted to do this mod. This is a mod that will light the brake lights when you are in NEUTRAL, only if the KICKSTAND is UP. I first discovered rear brake modulators, and realized that would be a good safety addition. Those send various flashing patterns to the rear brakes when...

    Rear brake safety lighting etc

    I'm becoming more aware of this issue as I often sit at a stoplight in neutral, hands and feet off brakes = no brake lights = increase risk of getting run over. So.... I've been looking at the signal dynamics back off brake modules, the ones that have programmed flash/repeat patterns...

    Manual fan switch with auto shut off

    Yes, I'm crazy. Wanted the utility of cooling the engine on demand, without having to remember to turn fan off, and without jacking with the Outlaw Sensor, rumored to have issues. So.... I went wild. In process of uploading images. Please wait.

    Instrument cluster changes in Gen1 ???

    Howdy... I own a 2001 Gen1, but am looking to buy replacement parts off an instrument cluster from a 90's model. It looks the same from the pictures, just curious if you guys know whether all the holes line up, etc. I'm planning to salvage the METALIZED facia cover, and maybe even some of the...

    Hard to find neutral, when bike heats up???

    Finding neutral s like butter when the bike is cold, but after longer rides it seems to get clanky and harder to find neutral?? Finicky.

    Anyone try the Outlaw Fan Switch?

    Instead of a manual override fan switch, they claim a different engineer sensor to cycle the fan at lower temps. Anyone try this? http://vmaxoutlaw.com/merchandise/performance.htm http://vmaxoutlaw.com/merchandise/performance.htm

    Undesirable braking noise.

    When I hammer on rear brake hard, I will occasionally get a deep, loud, muted-horn like noise. Kinda like a tugboat in the fog... I have to let off, then renegade to get the noise to go away. Pads fine Rotors fine Per dealer It isn't a high pitched squeak, rather the deep muted horn...

    Be sure to check your rear brake foot switch

    Mine needed adjusting. I had to depress the rear brake too far, before the plunger switch would activate. In other words, under light rear braking, my rear light may not have been activating. Here is the image. The adjustment nut tightens clockwise. Just a safety heads up!!!

    Super Cool Key chain

    It started as a mens bracelet. Wax cotton cord, with sterling silver beads. And a cool round coin, about 50% the size of a dime. I also used a mini skull. Also made of sterling silver. I believe both the bracelet and the skull are made by GOOD ART HOLLYWOOD. I found them both on...

    iPod charger mod installed

    I'm amazing.... And my woman agrees. Pulled power off battery, but relayed off of the "key on" position. Meaning when the key is off, the charging stops, as to not drain battery. Assumes a cell could drain the max. Tuffest part was routing wires, and finding place/room for the...

    2001 vmax I'm hearing a very loud engine/exhaust sound as i rev through the gears, especially in 1,2,3 ears. It occurs as I'm revving hard, then when the rpms hit a point when vboost kick in, it sounds like I lose the baffle in the muffler, and the moto sounds too loud. I do know what...
