options

I can not get a bag to fit onto the rear seat. I was surprised to find my small magnetic tank bag works on the airbox cover. I thought it was plastic at first. I don't like riding with a backpack. The manual diagrams 4 luggage anchors but it looks like two of those are thin metallic things...

My Max is pretty new to me and I'm looking into my options for a clutch upgrade. Here is what I'm thinking my options are. Please correct if I'm wrong or add if I'm missing anything. Double D: Basically you remove the half friction plate, wire retainer, clutch boss and you install a full...

Hi guys, Anyone running a newer USD with the larger front axle(25mm IIRC)? If so, what are you doing for a speedo? I'm running a ZX-9 USD on my 89 V-Max. It uses a smaller axle and had a speedo drive on it. I love it, but it weighs in just 1/2lb shy of the stk setup!(the complete front end)...

Has anyone here had their frame powdercoated? If so, how much would you plan on spending to have someonw sandblast and paint the frame? This is going to be for my drag bike project. I'm pretty limited on $$ and would rather spend the money on things that make me go faster, but now would be...

anything out there that is better than stock AND an exact fit?

37k miles on the clock. Not sure about maintenance history, but compression is very good, engine pretty good. How many of you that consider yourself as average mechanics have done a proper valve adjustment on your Max? How many of you have had a shop do it, and what did they charge? The...

TIP: Don't forget that to remove the pad lock you put on the rear rotor before you try and ride off... :clapping: RESULT: One sad looking rotor... :ummm: QUESTION: I had a look on eBay for a 1999 Vmax rear rotor but there was none, but there are a stack of R1 rear rotors... will they fit...

I was wondering the option of calipers for my 05 wither r1, bussa, or what ever direct bolt ons and ones that require brackets that someone already makes i allready know fjr or bussa master are a good idea to go with the new calipers any responce would be great.

I did a search for "nology" and "coil replacement" sorry if I missed it. So I have three cracked coils, not bad- but not like they are self healing. the dealer price on the stock coils is higher than a set of nology coils. I know I read about another replacement here on the forum as well. I...

I was wondering what you guys who have radials are using for a front tire?? what is availble out there? I have a 190/50/17 micky thompson to mount up in the rear. this tire is 1.15 in shorter than stock. by my calculations in order to maintain the geometry and weight balace of the bike...

Howdy Y'all, I'm currently looking to purchase a VMax after months of trying to decide what bike is right for moi. Took on for a drive today, but it was an 86 in less than great shape and was running quite poorly. I'm still not discouraged though! I'm wondering what headlight...

I'm sure my rotors are warped or that they were damaged in a front end mishap before I got the bike. They pulse dramatically. Naturally, I can't deal with this because front brakes are critical. Local machine shop could probably try to straighten them but I'm not sure it's worth it. They are...

My 85 Max has exhaust woes. Cancer, rash, etc. What are my options? I have a set of mufflers/collector unit from another year, as the exhaust opening is different. I don't want a more restrictive exhaust, so I might not use this muffler set, even though it's aesthetically better than the set...

I am looking for a sissy bar for my bike, whats the nicest looking ones you can get? Where can I get them? and how much?

Ok, ok, Please name all places that have frame braces for sale. Not including RMS, or Dale Walker. If you post with the link it would be great.

today I was at the local harley dealer and looked at the V rod headlight, I got the idea of using it to replace the stock max headlight, it is ~ same dimensions and not as deep as the stock, I think with some mounting modification it would look nice on the max and the price is $191 , it has two...

Ok, so the stock Max headlight was made so that you can only go about 40mph at night. What options are there for better lighting? I've dropped a better bulb in the housing (not a 100w bulb, but just a more white-light bulb) which has helped a bit, but it's still too easy to out drive the...
