I’ve got some stock wheels and fork lowers that look terrible everywhere and a backrest that has a growing oxidation patch. Right now my game plan is to get the factory coating off with Aircraft Remover and re-seal them with Sharkhide. I’m not looking improve the polish quality from stock...

in the kitchen drawer, and look at the ends of the box, there are die-cutouts you push-in, to hold the roll of foil in the box. There are 2 tabs on the ends of the box that when pushed in hold the tube in place for easier dispensing, and less-chance of having the roll jump-out and fall onto...

I couple months ago I purchased a pair of “CNC Brake Clutch Levers For Yamaha V-Max VMAX” on ebay for my 85 Max. The brake lever was no problem, you do need to use the stock reducer bushing to install. The aluminum clutch lever comes with a .392 or 9.95mm diameter aluminum insert which has a...

I have been loving the C-14 I bought but still miss my max! Funny how some new folks joining the COG (concours owners group) are fellow vmax riders also! My question is the bike is great except the slight lean on the riding position. This link shows a great handlebar pullback riser that quite...

It seems I lost the aluminum insert for the right side radiator shroud on my Gen 1. I'm looking for that or the right side shroud if I cannot find just the insert. Thanks in advance!

Has anybody tried the GPI aluminum radiator for the Vmax that's on ebay. Looks good but for $125 I wonder? I've bought Warp9 aluminum radiators for my CR500 and the fit and finish sucked.:confused2:

I took off my headers and they were super rusted. I sanded and made them pretty smooth and I'm going to paint with header paint. It's rated for 1300-2000 degrees F. It doesn't mention using a primer. Does anyone recommend priming headers even though can doesn't call for it? If so, should...

Exactly what title says.. i've been polishing my aluminum kosmans and the front hub is like being compared to rest and zero imperfections im scared it is chrome.... does anyone know how I can tell???

Let me know what you think. They are lighter, strong and more solid ( Less flex ) then the original factory stock part. It bolts directly in place of the original factory part, the same as the factory. I ve seen others that only bolt on from one side. Factory arm 10.6 oz's Aluminum...

Just picked up my first Vmax (06) last Saturday and a few things I noticed that I wanted to ask about. First, and I searched the forum for a good little bit but could not find a thread directly related to this (though I am sure there is one so sorry if it has been answered a million times)...

Hi folks: Any of y'all know of a good product to clean off finger/handprints from an aluminum muffler? Thanks! Elimax

MY 97 VMAX HAS SOME CORROSION ON THE AIR SCOOPS(FAKE) . WHATS THE BEST WAY TO RE FINISH THEM? ONE OTHER SPOT BY THE HEADLIGHT HAS COME THROUGH THE CLEAR BUT I CAN JUST POLISH THAT OUT. HELP:bang head:

I've hated the aluminum wheels on my max since I bought it. You can't clean them, polish them or even make them look half decent..I've tried every kind of polish I can find and still can't make them look nice. And I'm not liking the thought of polishing aluminum everytime I wipe the bike down...

Have any of you guys compared the two? I just went through a Jar of mothers in about 2 months. Previews owner of my bike swore by the Wenol for its protecting sealing properties. But its from Germany and expensive.

Anyone have a set of lens for aluminum signals, they are made in clear, amber or smoked? My brother overtightened the lens screws and broke one and cracked another. I know they are only $20 but I had mine powdercoated this winter so I just really need 1 or ideally 2 lens. [email protected] Here are some...
