    Modified Stock Exhaust

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd0r7J1caZs&feature=youtube_gdata_player Anyone ever done this? My only concern is drilling holes in the pipe. But i guess if you ever wanted it back to stock sound, you could rivet the holes shut again and nobody would ever know. Sent from my SPH-D710 using...

    Cosmetic mod to stock exhaust...

    I've got the original exhaust on my '85. No road rash at all, but a lot of dings and dents (nothing really big) along the sides of the mufflers. D'MAN999 gave me a set of stock pipes, well rashed along the lip at the rear of the mufflers. I plan on using a Dremel tool to cut a nice flame...

    radials on stock rims.

    I have read that you can not put radial tires on the stock Vmax rims, why ??? I remember when radial tires came out in the 60's and I was able to put them on stock auto rims. I would like to put radial tires on when it comes time to change ( about 2000 mi) I have also read that the stock...

    Is ram air possible with stock bike?

    I have been reading this site, Im new to it and I love it. Tons of good information. I was wondering, and I havent found a thread yet, can the scoops on the side of the carb, tanks be used or set up as ram air? I saw some aftermarket ones for sale, which were very overpriced. I was wondering if...

    Stock needle shims?

    This is not a stock needle pretend it is ok. The plastic piece goes first into the slide then does the shim go in after that or put the needle in second then the shim on top of the stock needle?

    Is there any way to put a stock gen 2 rear wheel on a gen 1?

    My cousin just got a gen 2 vmax and has the 240 rear conversion on order. I like the stock rear wheel (6 x 18) which still has the stock tire (200/50R18) and will buy it off him if there is any way to make it fit on my gen 1. I know that to get a 200 on the swing arm needs to be notched. What I...

    Stock Rear Shock Disassembly

    I'm trying to black out a majority of my max and its been a long process and one of the last pieces are the rear shocks. I don't mind the stock feel but I do mind the chrome and slight rust. I thought if I could disassemble the rear shocks it would be easier to paint/powder coat the parts i...

    Stock Airbox sealing

    I have a bone stock 2005 Vmax. Has an annoying stumble in the 2500 rpm range, and may be associated with a quiet backfire from the left exhaust pipe. More like a burp actually. After that, on up in rpm its fine, seems to be worse under hotter/more humid conditions. I suspect the airbox is a...

    Best wet weather tires.. on stock.

    Alright. I *might* have a little bit of money left over. Not nearly as much as I wanted, I was planning on getting the rear foot shifters from Morely, or his jet kit. Sadly, money flys when you actually have it and now there is only a little bit left. One thing that I do think is function...

    How do you lower stock forks?

    I was reading in the FAQ's. and it was suggested that the forks be lowered 1" inside the triple tree, and that the forks themselves them be collapsed 1.25-1.5 inches. How do you lower the shocks themselves? Lowering them inside the triple tree is self explanatory, but how do you lower them...

    Progressive vs Stock

    I needed to have my fork seals done, the shop I usually take my bike to charges $160 to do em. I decided to do them myself after reading on here that it wasn't too difficult. Thanks to Morley's YouTube vids on the subject, I was able to do the job. I also decided to use the $$ I was saving and...
