back

Can anyone identify what bike this backrest is from- I asked the owner and he said he does not know and there are no markings anywhere. Thanks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221882856773?euid=d51be73fc7c74f938826396074de491f&cp=1&exe=12808&ext=32575&sojTags=exe=exe,ext=ext

It was a great trip, with only 2 minor detractions on the same day, a loose spark plug and a tremendous thunderstorm. I decided to take the Magna rather than the VMax, since it is a bit more comfortable for long distances. We started out going East across Nevada's hwy 50 (loneliest road in...

I'm mounting my new 170/80/15 rear tire on Tuesday and was looking at fire-medics write up on the washer swap that I keep hearing about. Hopefully, my Commander II won't need it but is it better to just go ahead and do it or wait and see if it's needed? It seems that putting the washer inside...

Mounted a new rear tire & just can not get the splines in the wheel to mesh with the final drive unit Any hints

Looks like ill be trading the 2005 in for a 2015 today or tomorrow. One of the stipulations I made with the wife was I would put a back seat on so she can have something to lean up against the one or two times she gets on. The only seats I see available for this bike is a low profile seat. My...

Can anybody tell me what factory Vmax will dyno at at the back wheel,,,2000 stock....

I was thinking about moving the riders pegs back because I'm used to a sport bike and I really like that position. I was wondering does anybody know if there is something I could buy for this mod. I want it like this picture but I don't know if that bracket was swapped from another bike or made...

Not sure if it is the same but the color sure looks like the 85! Sat on it at the NY show Friday.....actually had my VMOA NE Region shirt on....ahhhh brings back memories! LOL

Well, after packing everything up in early October, then flying out of Guam early November, then driving from Los Angeles to Florida stopping for a week then on to Enid Oklahoma I can say I have finally made it. It took almost 20 days on the road to make it but I'm here, have a roof over my head...

My transmission pops back in neutral in 1st and second gear most of the time at low speed just pulling off at red light or stop. I'm thinking it's time to do the tranny change ( hmm that don't sound right ;-) ) and go undercut gears. Cold weather is coming and I'm thinking about doing the...

Are we that asleep that it takes a 94 yr. old to hit us on the heads? This is the smartest man for his age that I have ever heard of. Would you believe that Lee Iacocca is 94 years old and is still KICKIN butt? Check out his latest rant. Just as true today as it was...

Hi all, I've just finished rebuilding and re-racking my carbs as per the tutorials found here. Found plenty info on removing, rebuilding and syncing, but have found NO info in plugging them back into the sockets. I installed new boots with no problem after lubing with light oil. I tried for...

Picked up an 89 VMAX tonight. It only has 16k on it and it runs FAST. But its far from perfect. It has a charging issue, but I think I'll look that one up. The cowls are peeling. Hit it with some Mothers and it didn't seem to help much. What can I do to clean these up? Do I need to...

Thanks that's all.

Despite many setbacks and delays, the good folks at Rochester Motorsports got the beast back on the road today and it's SWEEEEEEET! MUCH better handling with the radials as many of you advised......new progressive front fork springs and new swing arm and bushings along with a new rear wheel...

Made it back to the 1/4 mile track friday. Got 5 runs in. First I have to say its quite humbling to race the 1/4. There were 4 other bikes, the slowest of which ran mid 9's at 140+. I'm still working out my carb tuning so I really didn't know what to expect. The best I could pull off was an...

Yesterday I was syncing the carbs and every so often there's a little pop of air coming back through the sync port...maybe every 10 seconds or so, otherwise there's a vacuum there. The little pop is strong enough though, that it will blow the sync hose off the port after around 5 or 6 pops. I...

I needed a laugh this morning, and this video was just the ticket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jgjk3DsN7c&feature=player_embedded
