touring

Gen2; 2009 and newer; Still in the box $250 shipped - Retails for $399 [email protected]; 319.431.0070 - Dave

I do quite a bit of touring on my bike. My wife and I like to get away for a couple of days at least twice a month, so I have added a few things to make it more practical, such as a Givi hard luggage, twin horns and running lights fitted to the crash bars, a very bright L.E.D. additional 'high...

Wanting to trade my OEM VMAX touring windscreen. Only 1500 miles on it might as well be new condition. I dont do very much touring or long distance riding, and i prefer the look with the blvd shorty windscreen. Shoot me an email if you would like to trade, [email protected]

2013 Ninja 1000 abs. (Not to be mistaken for a ZX10). Bought as a brand new leftover in June 2015. Only 2700 miles. Anti-lock brakes, front & rear. Tires are still like new. Sargent seat (stock seat included), bar risers, lower peg kit, fender eliminator (stock fender included), Factory Ninja...

I ordered the backrest, rack and brackets from Dobie for the purpose of mounting an aux tank (and increase comfort for wifey). So now I'm looking at tanks and the question comes up, baffles or not. I know if it were the primary fuel tank it would be a no-brainer that baffles would be needed...

I'm looking for do some multi-day rides with my VMax, something more along the lines of a weekender (2-3 days) type of thing. Can anyone share some of your touring setups? I could use some inspiration on setups. Thanks.

I believe thats the correct name for them. The touring bikes that have a few similar parts to v max's I believe? Anyway if so…. I have a customer of mine with an 83 and an 84. Both have trans issues… One has 2nd but it's "weak" the other is missing 4th and 5th. He is selling the pair for...

Im just not sure what im going to like till I try them out but the ones 6 hrs away and there's nothing closer in that price range. Im confused on what I want. Im selling the VFR and going to get a nice cruiser/touring bike but the question is which one. I don't plan on going cross country on it...

An interesting take on what we like in the USA, according to Germany. I see Victory Vision and the Gold Wing derivative f6b Those as style inspirations, and this:

Well, with a year's worth of experience on my beloved V-Max, I have come to the realization that, as much as I love my Woona, she does not fit the bill for what I really need. I need something with decent range, can carry enough luggage for the trips I do, is relatively comfortable, and is...

Over the winter I completed a few mods to make the "traveling" version of Frankenmax a bit more user friendly. Got to try them out for size today! It's a tossup as to the most useful alteration, between the driver footpeg relocation( moved 2" ahead, 1" down, shift and brake pedals lengthened...

Guy is selling a set of Shinko touring from what i read this morning they sound like a pretty good tire for the MAX is this right, seriously thinking of buying them any advice would be great thanks:punk:

Pretty sure I'm going to buy it... http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/mcy/2373076604.html

any stories, ride reports or pics from some of you hooligans?? I cant shake the thought of touring the lower 48 on a Vmax out of my head. and remember :ttiwwp:

A guy told me last week that a feller on a Gen II rode from Wyoming to Florida for a rally. Thats a heck of a trip on any bike. I had "heard" that the new Vmax wasnt great for touring. I was just wondering if any of you had taken long trips on your new Vmax and how it turned out. Do...

the 17mm (for drain plugs) x 27mm (for rear axle, triple nut and swingarm nuts) would be cool to have for touring, altho a bit expensive: http://www.bikebandit.com/msr-rider-wrench?WT.mc_id=2194329

Harley Touring air shocks? pics added Does anyone know if these would work well on a max? I would just keep my stockers, but I'm going all black and don't want to paint the shocks/springs. I also think these look better, cleaner. These are supposed to be 13" eye-eye, but I just don't know how...

I was thinking of possibly picking up a touring bike for the wife and I. I am looking at something a bit older, maybe an older Venture, Kawasaki Voyager , Suzuki Cavalcade or Goldwing. I know the Goldwing is probably the most popular but also the most expensive. Ive been looking at the other 3...

I just picked up my 09 yesterday, :clapping:WOOHOO! I'm looking for ideas to be able to haul around small quantities of "stuff." such as a rainsuit, gloves etc. Has anyone mounted the "tailpack" or even the small saddlebags that Yamaha sells, if so, pics and your opinion would be appreciated. I...

Hi guys , I am seriously considering as i have to head down to the Catlins (bottom of south island) that i should take the Max. As my Dad wants to see my bike , he is now in his 80s in a wheelchair and he used to ride in his younger days with non other than Burt Munro ( The worlds fastest...
