    How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan switch?

    After doing a lot of research here, I went ahead and ordered the radiator fan switch kit from VMax Outlaw. Between that, new antifreeze and the water-wetter I hope to eliminate the overheating problem. It was 65 degrees today and within 2 long red lights, the temp was going to the red. I had to...

    Bought another one...

    ...but it's not what you think. (However, it's one of the "good" ones from the past - before plactic took the world by storm). Here's the story: I made the mistake of asking Bacchus about the "collection" of ZL muscle listed in his signature line. Since he's nearby, next thing I know I'm...

    Just bought....

    ....Avon 110/80 18 am26 front tire ,and 170/80 15 Venom rear. Just want to ask if this would be a good choice for my 97 Vmax. This was done per mechanic in a bike shop. His recommendation. He said they should work just fine on my bike, I was concerned because one is AM26 and other Venom.
