ideas

Ok this is for you hard core guys.... I am on the fence, build my own exhaust, or purchase one already done. The reason for purchasing one would be time. I just want to ride and not have any down time really. I am thinking stainless for exhaust if I build my own. I would love to do something...

Hello Friends,Im wondering if anyone has a faster method than sanding, for removing the factory clear coat from the aluminum on the mighty max?? Thanks for any and all suggestions....Rob

I am a young guy 25 years old. I'm already sick and tired of all the time i spend making someone else alot of money. Had an idea or two and needed some feedback from you all. I want to move to north carolina ( maybe asheville area) and start a small do it yourself motorcycle shop at the base...

I am looking for some feedback from those of you that have changed out that bulky V-Max tail lamp for one of the nice LED lamps that I am seeing out there. I am looking to change mine out, but do not want to do any major modifications to accomplish this. Any ideas???:ummm:

Well, as you know. Harley Riders has the badass look. Beards, tattoos, etc. link below would be good conversation pieces if you rode up on your Vmax supporting tattoos like the link below. :punk: http://m.funnyordie.com/lists/2157ced488/belly-button-tattoos-a-surprisingly-bad-idea Let...

I have been thinking about a new seat design for the VMax. Something along the lines of Rolland Sands design. A seat position a bit lower closer to the ground Any one has any ideas about a way to implement such design...

Alright I had an idea to use a adjustable RPM switch as a rev limiter. Now the idea is at a set rpm is to cut the power to the TCI or the coils. Now the question is what would be safer on the electronics. Cutting power to the TCI or to the coils? I'm thinking cutting power to the coils would be...

Thanks for looking in - While doing the shotgun repair, I found one of the idle screws was partially stripped and now it is stripped all the way! I've never messed with them the 13 years I've owned the bike so I'm thinking it is in the right position but when it wasn't so stripped and I seemed...

I have ignored my vmax for months because it won't run right and just makes me angry. I gave up on it and bought an 81 goldwing for $1200 and have been riding that to work everyday, no problems. Anyhow, I am looking for ideas as to why it runs crappy because I need to get it back on the...

I have an 85, and have had a stage 1 k&n jet kit and kerker slip-ons on it for 10 years at least. I took the carbs off to clean them like I seem to have to do every 2 years or so, but when I put them back on I now have a problem. I start the bike with the choke on and it runs pretty terrible...

Any ideas would be welcome. I bought "88 Vmax late lat Summer and owner warned that she would take 20 minutes to dry out after washing. It is getting worse and I can't find a fix. Last washing took 4 days (humid conditions) in shed. When the bike starts, it fires on first crank and runs...

I'm not that tall (5' 10'') but the front foot peg location makes me feel like the fat guy riding a mini bike at the circus. I was contemplating lowering and moving the front pegs forward a tad. First thought was fabricating a small bracket to attach to frame then mount pegs to bracket then...

I have a 1997 and I just broke 3,000 miles with it. I bought it from a guy who bought it new he rode it a couple of times and it scared the hell out of him and he was to proud to admit this to his wife so he keeped it for years out of spite. I bought it with about 200 miles on it a few years...

I have an '03 Max and for the last couple of years it would tend to ide a bit high and then settle down to 1k. Now it will be idling at 1k and then on its own idle up to 3k on its own and stay there. It has also recently starting surging on the freeway. I bought carb rebuild kits on Ebay...

So I'm trying to decide how I'm gonna paint the bike. Currently its just rattle canned black. I kind of like the black but if I'm gonna spend the cash and have it redone I want a little more than just black. I've had a few Ideas but am having trouble visualizing. (any bored photoshoppers out...

Hey Guys Just picked up Marks 4-2 and going to get it ceramic coated. Was wondering what you all think would match my bike. Here is a pic as of this morning with the Kerker 4-1 and was thinking of doing the pipes a titanium to match my wheels and then have the cans done in shiny silver...

My ideas are this: (1) Black w/ red racing stripes and a red stitched seat (2) Viper blue w/ white racing stripes (3) Black w/ white racing stripes and white stitched seat... The seat already has a rip and looks very rough - so exhaust and seat must be done at the get go. Paint can wait till...

Looking for ideas. It would be his first bike but he's lookin for something midrange. I thought maybe a Speed Triple or SV650. Other ideas? Anybody know how the speed triple rides normally? High end potential? I know it's a bike my dad has always envied but otherwise I don't know much other...

im thinking about firing the grill up. hamburgers with mushrooms,american cheese, swiss cheese (top and bottom slice) onions and slices of bacon. with a side of chili cheese fries. what do you all think? any different ideas?

I got my vmax out yesterday and decided to wash it off since it sat all winter in the shop. I have had this problem before but never have dug into it but decided to through it out there and see what you think. I always leave the bike running while rinsing off but it still seems to load up and...
