    Aluminum Clutch & Brake Levers - Beware!

    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...

    Brake calipers upgrade

    I'm looking to upgrade my front brakes on my '91 Vmax. I have currently a set of 2000 R6 fronts that were given to me that do not fit. The bolt pattern is a bit longer then stock. Anyone here have '91 stock forks that has an upgrade, and if so, what are you running? Sent from my iPhone using...

    front brake lines

    I picked up some 6 pot FZR1000 Sumitomo Calipers. I will be changing to galfer steel braided lines. Which are better, going with original 3 line with splitter or 2 line? Which will be easier to bleed? Also, are HH pads the best for these calipers? Thanks, Don

    Prototype front brake and wheel

    Rumored to be a replacement for the Brembos on the Ducati Panigale. The wheel is also a prototype and has been awarded the coveted "more-organic than carbon-fiber" award by a leading environmental group.

    Brake MC rebuild kits

    I always lean towards OEM and NEVER use Chinese stuff, but there are a couple aftermarket kits made in Japan. I know K&L is respected but what about these? This vendor came up recently but just wondering if anyone has had any experience with hydraulic kits, quality and fit, that sort of thing...

    Front Brake

    It got up to 60 degrees today so I figured it was time to take my new steed out for a ride. I have not ridden street bikes in a little over 10 years. I used to ride a ZRX. The front brake didn't feel like it had enough stopping power. Since I'm new to the Max I didn't know if this was...
