    Making this old bike look new

    Hey all! I recently acquired an '88 Vmax 1200, which I had previously never heard of but fell in love with immediately. The previous owner had put pretty much as much money as possible into maintaining all the OEM moving parts and had paid a bit less attention to how the bike looked, so I've...

    Making sure Tapatalk is working for y'all.

    Closed the road here for a few days. Brought in a 300T crane. It took the crane company a day to set it up and install the jib. Reached up to the top of a 300' tower, barely. Couldn't get the crane any closer. It was nearly at the maximum radius. Lift capacity was reduced to less than 1T...

    Think Sean is making a mistake :)

    I sent Sean my Fazer 700 carbs hadn't been used in 15 years and it showed. He is sending back these almost new shinny carbs can't possibly be the same ones can they? :clapping::punk::eusa_dance:

    Making the vmax look "low profile"

    Didn't know where to post this, but....I'm wanting to lower my bike, which has stock suspension and tire height/width. My brother-in-law has a Mean streak and I love the way it looks, but I prefer the power the vmax has. I don't know if I really want to change the rear rim, so I think a ME880...

    Making transmission gears

    I thought I would post this just for interests sake, kinda off topic as these aren't Max gears but are basically similar. They are out of a racing Triumph and I just wanted to show the procedure in making them in detail as to give some insight as to what is involved and what to be aware of if...

    Making Max Mad Again !

    Hey Gang... 22 1/2 years later, and now I decide to do something with my Max. Bought the ArtFibras body kit, braced/double notched the SW, waiting on the HMF exhaust, and 5.5 x 17 wheel from COO, along with other goodies. Battery busted in storage years ago and killed the paint on the engine...
