frame

I will be building a 2 x 4 box frame to use while lifting my Vmax by the frame tubes with an ATV lift. Some of you have already done this. Would someone post the dimensions? The center stand is retained with this exhaust and I don't have a cover over the spin on oil filter (1997 model...

Anyone ever seen this one and know where to get one?http://www.ebay.com/itm/OVER-GP-Performance-Slip-On-Full-Titanium-YAMAHA-VMAX1200-/161939651482?hash=item25b45afb9a:g:iYIAAOSwgQ9Vlk-8&vxp=mtr

hi, im restarting my vmax project but going a totally different route this time. trying to create a cafe racer out of it. i have made a frame jig to hold my modified frame in place as i will be doing quite abit of changes to it. Question is, when i was trying to find the centerline from the...

well I've read a lot about the benefits of using these bars in the corners to keep the frame from flexing. Do they also help with high speed wobble ???? So I had this box metal iron laying around the shop and decided to give this a try. I had round tube metal as well but chose the square...

I've seen these many times, but never read much about their purpose. I *personally* think they are very ugly and detract from the appearance of the engine. The only thing I've read is it supports the frame head under hard braking. My bike still has the high-speed wobble, (read about it here)...

My friend Steve has been busy in the shop. Here's a GSXR 1100 Slingshot frame being updated w/a Honda single-sided swingarm, Yamaha rear shock, and an USD front end. The top shock mount is a billet piece sized to fit the triangulated casting on the inside of the frame. It could have been...

I saw a similar frame mod on the internet and decided to give it a go. Forgive the crappy welds, I had a buddy clean them up before painting the frame. I haven't gotten the bike running yet so I can't say if it does anything but it was a pretty easy thing to do if you have that part of the...

Hello bit guilty of ignoring my vmax for a few years ..a little spin recently resurected the strange desire to be spat off at roundabouts. Years ago looked into a replacement frame rebuild.. seem to remember a manufacturer near spread eagle on the A303 ..or any other suggestions.. apologies if...

I've been to most of the XR sites and they don't seem to have too much recent activity and you guys always seem to have the answers.:clapping: So I was wondering if anyone on here has any idea where a guy could purchase a street legal frame for a Xr650r. Just bought a really clean '01 and would...

What are the benefits to a stock bike? Is it needed only with high horsepower set ups? I'm talking about the one that goes across the side of the motor

Ok so I got buyers goggles yesterday and skipped one of the most basic checks on a vmax, comparing engine and frame number. Checked this morning and they don't match. Questions that remain are how much does that matter? I'm planning on keeping the bike and making it my own so if it reduces...

Hi I was just wondering if there is a list of things that can be done to the motor while it is in the frame.I have to change a con rod and can't find out if it can be done with the engine in the frame and if there is a procedure on here for doing it.thanks

i gotta imagine hes full of it, but interesting nonetheless: email exchange: me: Do you have any updated pics? Those pics still show a generation 1 engine in it.. him: I have a 90 Vmax that was in an acc. An where I got the motor there is a 11 vmx but the cover where smashed an not sure...

Hi i was wondering if anyone has attempted using the venture frame (1983-85 - 1200cc) just to get the monoshock look? I am not looking to add all the other rubbish/dead weight, basically just looking for a monoshocked rear end to my vmax, which would give me a springboard for further mods...

I know someone on here can tell me what kind/type of steel our frames are made of? I'm getting ready to install a set of frame braces that require one end to have a tab welded for its mounting point and my aircraft welding buddy wants to know type of metal? I was a welder for a few years before...

I have been thinking about doing the spin-on oil filter mod on my '85. I'm aware that the small cross brace on the frame at the oil filter area needs to be modified or changed to a newer one. I'm lookimng real hard at that area of the frame, and cannot for the life of me imagine any flex or...

Thanks

I just purchases a set of frame braces and found out that my V-Gas carbs are in the way so I cant mount them. Has anyone found a set that work with the V-gas carburetors installed?

I'm on the fence on this build, but I do admire the work. :clapping:

I waded through 11pages of threads some hundreds of post, but no joy. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the stock frame with swing arm weighs?
