    1st Gen HID lighting

    Anyone find a HID headlamp conversion kit that fits without moding or very little modding on a 97 vmax ? I tried one from my vtx 1300 as they use the same h4 9003 lamp but the lamp legs are to wide to get the yamaha metal ring to fasten. If I wanted to i could order a similar kit and dremel it...

    LED Lighting Choices

    Who's using what for LED headlights? How do you like the performance, reliability, cost? I'm having my 2nd failure with my HID setup. I love the performance but reliability seems to be a problem for me. Looks like I may need to bail on it. What are you guys using? and how do you think they...

    Rear brake safety lighting etc

    I'm becoming more aware of this issue as I often sit at a stoplight in neutral, hands and feet off brakes = no brake lights = increase risk of getting run over. So.... I've been looking at the signal dynamics back off brake modules, the ones that have programmed flash/repeat patterns...

    Sudden Lighting Electrical Issue

    I was swapping my sissybar out for the stock grab rail and when I went to check that I had the turn signal wiring correct I wasn't getting anything at all. Not even the front signals. Then I noticed that the neutral light is out on the cluster and that was working for sure before and during the...

    Hi, Have only had my 06 Vmax a few months. Any tips on best way to do a good burn out? Bike is stock except Kerker 4/1 and jet kit. Runs great. Not much tread on rear tire. Might as well finish it off> Also, any suggestions on replacement tires. Mine have stock rims. Thanks, Glenn

    Lighting up the night

    I put some driving lights on they work great light up everything. Not a whole lot of options for mounting lights the way I wanted so I made my own bracket. I like night driving but not the deer and the vmax out drives its lights. If you ever thought about getting Dichroic lights "the style" I...

    Lighting in Scoops

    Finally got around to this. Seems that the best answer is to use an acrylic diffuser in place of the standard black plastic frame that holds your screens. I'll probably be going to LED, ATM however here is a rough test with an incandescent unit, and a diffuser I fabricated from 1/8" acrylic...
