install

finally figured out a decent looking spot to mount my switch to.just bent some .062 aluminum from work into an angle,notched it and rolled the ends around and tack welded in place,primed and painted and there it is.i bolted it in place with the lower two bar clamp bolts.

Got some grips ordered but these do not replace the throttle sleeve...No problem with the throttle side installation, but on the clutch side, is that factory grip glued on the bar...or set screwed.....bar end seems very tight on clutch side....i can pull the throttle side off with...

Well i finally got my Marks exhaust in the mail and have started the task of installing it, i have gotten to the point where i need to start tightening all the bolts to the engine and am having a small problem, it seems that the bolts for the front header is to long and i can't get it tight...

Hey guys, quick question, I just bought a stock muffler to replace the Cobra slip-ons that the bike came with. I got them all on and realized that even with the clamps tightened down the header pipes are still loose in the muffler. All four clamps are tight enough that the flats of the clamps...

I see that others have done this, but I'll throw my hat in the ring too. I installed a new STEBEL NAUTILUS horn onto the max. I have had one on my Triumph Rocket for a couple of years and it is great. A couple of weeks ago, I was on the max and had to honk at a bastard who was out to kill me by...

I really loved the Solo rider look my bike had and I even thought about doing some of those Crazy Euro fender and frame "Sportie" mods to my bike but I also enjoyed the rides with my wife. through the mountains very much. She's a petite little Fillipina and a few times on rides I actually...

Re: Vmax Fan Control Switch This is how I mounted my manual fan switch: First thing I did was get me one of them nice looking, Radio Shack flat toggle switch. I chose this one, cause I think it looks sweet. It shows $3.19 on thier website, but locally I bought it for $3.99. This is the...

Just wondering how many of you guys run your max without the airbox cover and if you see any or no difference in the way it runs. I bought my 93 a few weeks ago and the airbox cover was not installed. Is it a big deal or not. Thanks (pic below)

Checked the fuses under the tank and the main fuse under the seat, they both look fine, I put the stock bulb back in and it is still running weird, Anything else i should try??:bang head:

Hi guys, just thought I'd post some pics of the finished air shifter install I did to my 94, big thanks go to Sean for hooking me up on the kit and all the advice! I redid alot of the wiring too, I just didn't feel right hooking a solinoid up off my factory harness so I wired in a relay to...

I have a 97 Vmax with the stock TCI. I got some COP's from ebay from a 2004 gsxr. I decided to use the facory harness so I wired it up the the COP's harness' with the red/white wire hook up to the right side wire on the COP. I installed the back two coils no problem, fired it up and ran fine...

So I finally got all my parts in the mail(will order from Sean next time), watched the video a couple times and put it all together. So before adding the oil, I thought I'd look in my Haynes book to see how they suggested putting it back together. They suggested some threadlock on the threads...

Im talking about one of these.

thanks again to richard, just sitting on it in the garage, its already a win... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn85bDn7Hf0

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...

I've never been a big fan of the "dummy" gauges that don't have any numbers on them. For whatever reason, they kind of annoy me. If you're going to bother with an actual gauge instead of an idiot light, might as well do it right and calibrate it rather than just slapping a "hot" and "cold" line...

Hey all. I installed the PCW HD spring kit today with a friend. Followed the instructions to a tee, reassembled it and now my clutch lever wont pull in at all. disassembled everything, checked it against my Clymer manual and still nothing. Even with the pressure plate and spring removed...

I saw in one of the carb threads that someone installed a AFR gauge on their Vmax. How would one do this? Do you drill and weld the bung inline with your exhaust? I'd love to have a AFR gauge on my Vmax when troubleshooting carb issues. I've tuned car carbs a lot on cars...for some reason I...

My Marks Exhaust will be in Thursday. I'm fairly sure I need exhaust gaskets. Don't think they will be supplied. Mark said something about springs. What springs might he have been refering to? I was so excited to actually speak with him and make the order, everything flew right over my...

Well spent a beautiful saturday afternoon working on the max I finally got the rear exhaust joints well it took me 7 hours to put the stock exhaust back on in my defence, I never took the stock system off, so I had no idea how it went back together now it is stock other then the 17 inch...
