install

Looking for a PDF or writeup on how to install the OEM instrument cowl. MINI windshield. I have been reading how some have cracked their turn signal stalks due to over tightening. Do the brackets need to be bent or adjusted. What are the adjustments needed for correct alignment.

Iv had these grips for quite some time.. left side 20mm, right 23mm. Will they work? What kind of glue sets the quickest? Locktite gel superglue? How about removing them? Never done this if you cant tell:ummm: Thanks

I am trying to put together a bit more comprehensive set of instructions for doing this install. well, trying to install my set and not muck it all up. On my 86 I am looking to drop the front about an inch. The bottoming out springs that came with the kit are longer than the stock ones...

Installed my Progressive 440's yesterday. Review: They are *a lot* firmer than my old stock suspension. Even on their softest setting, they are firm! I am not a suspension expert in anyway, shape or form. So keep in mind this review is all based on the seat-of-the-pants-dyno-style-meter. Very...

So I tried to get my 170's installed today. I had called for a price last week. 120 cash. Front and back, installed on bike. When I asked how long he needed, he advised he would have me in and out, no problems. Set up a time to have it in. 1.) I am coming off nights - so I got 3 hours of...

1) Place bike on center stand. Remove tank cover, remove scoops Using large phillips screwdriver, unloosen the 3 screws on the black plastic plate on left side that holds the relays and module and let it hang down. On the right side, remove screws that hold the radiator cap and hose joint...

this should have been posted prior to the previous post on the riser install. i didnt have the camera on the first attempt. this is basically how to remove the bars and stock clamps so you can install the over racing risers-to either the stock setup or the otec setup). the 1st post shows the...

as i mentioned before, i just purchased a set of over racing bar risers. the install seemed pretty straight forward and required only a set of allen wrenches. i figured i could handle this no problem. well, as past experience should have taught me, i ran into a few little snags which are...

I recently purchased some well needed crashbars for the bike... and goddamn i swear, the installment is not as easy as it seemed. To start off, the crashbars are standard steel ones from ebay, the ones that mount on 3 bolts.... Well the bottom 2 bolts were easy to take out. Its the top one im...

OK, broke down and bought some new Progressives for the front of my 1990 VMAX. Just wondering if it's a pretty straight forward install, or if there are any gotchas. First of all, is there a special tool for the hex nut on top of the shocks? If not, what size is that, I know I don't have one...

Hi, Corbin seat is coming off and the stock seat is going back on my Max. Is there a step-by-step to install the stock seat? Thanks, Blaine

Ok folks! Here's my write up and review of the ceramic coating of my Hindle 4 into 1 full exhaust.. Tools required: 1.) 8mm Hex / Ratchet 2.) Wrench to fit 8mm hex 3.) Can of Krown T40 Lubricant / Rust inhibitor (best stuff I've found) 4.) Needle nose pliers 5.) OEM Gaskets (x4) 6.) Permatex...

Hey folks: You folks are awesome, so lemme ask you something that's bugging me: I'm cleaning up a set of R1 front calipers, and I'm trying to put a seal back in (one that goes into the region that the piston goes into) but I CAN'T FREAKIN' DO IT!!!!! Once I get a part of the seal into the...

Hi folks: When I purchased my '98 Max, the seller had removed the center stand, but gave me the parts for it. But, for the life of me, I cannot find it in the service manual, or, of course, directions how to put it back on. The part specifically that's bugging me is called the "main stand...

What's the best way to do the brace? Easy install? Looks like I can just bolt it up after removing the original - but those are famous last words. Also - for my shocks - I really like my current black springs - and my new (to me) shocks are black - which, IMO look great - but the current one...

Noobie here! Can anyone tell me how to install the shock stud required by a VMAX on a Venture final drive housing? Bought my first Max a little over a week ago. It's a '92 and I got a good price knowing it had some deficiencies. Although it runs well and accelerates harder than anything...

Hi folks: I too have a UFO 4-1 which is too effin' loud for my neighborhood. I can't ever get Jon @ UFO to respond to my questions re. mods to the end can, so I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I bought 2 different pipe baffles from JC Whitney...a 1 3/4" inch and a 1 1/2". Sadly, I...

Has any one had issues with the mount kit for the Mini III? The standoffs will not fit on the up-right bar on one side. My guess is that the up-right bar is out of round or a little larger than the hole in the standoff... I got this months ago off the internet, it was new but I bet returning...

Hi All, Well I bought a 2007 VMAX with UFO 4 into 1 exhaust and no other mods to the carbs. After reading a lot on this newsgroup I talked to Sean and decided to buy his jet kit. Dropped my bike off to the dealer to install the kit and 2 days later I call and they told me that before doing...

Okay I just ordered the Kurakyn grips and throttle boss from Python. Anything I should know about doing the swap? Thanks. Andy
