wheel

I'm looking to convert to radial tires and looking for input on choices of 18" wheels we have for the Vmax. I have found very few that carry 18" wheels. I know RMS Sportmax carries a 18" wheel set ($1800 for ft and r) but I was thinking along the lines of a sportbike style wheel which would...

ok , i recently made my 17 wheel exchange. i bougth max daddy rear 17 from ufo . nice clean desing. john told me that the most popular tyre in the U.S was avon storm av56. I never used this brand before. nice tyre . The only thing is from the left side the tyre slightly touches the swing arm...

This came out of the rear wheel assembly when i took it apart, is it parts 2/3 combined from the microfiche (both pics attached)? Do I need to pound the spacer off the collar and any specific way to set it back on? thanks!

I have an "89 vmax. My first and I really enjoy it. I'm customizing it now and have some rear wheel questions. Any advice would be appreciated. 1. How much work does it take to use a GSXR rim? Are there certain years I would need to look for? 2. Has anyone ever heard of a vrod rim being...

Hi, This is my first post, so I would like to say hi to all! I purchased a 2002 vmax and would like to convert it to use a 240 wide back tire. I noticed that most of you do not do this and I am wondering why its not a more popular option in the US. If someone has successfully done this...

This will be part of a mini series on removing the rear wheel, exhaust and swingarm, replacing some bearings, swapping on a Venture diff, and changing the tire. First up is just pulling the rear wheel. Ok, put it on the centerstand, and brace the front if possible: Next, pull the cotter...

I've got an '06 vmax so it has those red stripes on the wheels. I've been thinking I might like to do away with the stripe but wasn't sure enough to paint over it. I bought some reflective wheel stripes from this ebay seller. http://myworld.ebay.com/glsigns The stripes I got are black...

I need to know the max size tire I can mount on my 18" rear wheel. The swingarm is extended 3" and notched. Thanks in advance.

FYI, I found out via the Yahoo! list that they do have a couple of 15 inch radials available. http://www.bikebandit.com/rear-street-motorcycle-tires/c/a642336a5a328a11a344a351 Keep in mind that the Bridgestone does not have a matching tire for the stock 18 inch front.

Friend has a Continental Road Warrior (150) on there now. Is this a good choice? What else can I run? Should I stick to 150 size or what is the max size? Thanks!

Does anyone know if a front wheel from a 1982 Seca XJ 550 has the same rotor bolt pattern as the Max? If not, any idea how I could check, short of physical inspection? Thanks in advance.

hi would like to know if a 1985 vmax front wheel bolt circle for the discs is the same as that of a 2004 vmax front wheel can i swap:ummm: discs

So I've got some brake issues on my '93 Suzuki quad, namely that they don't work. At all. It's got a somewhat unique system of three drums. Since the rear axle is locked full time, there's only one drum on the rear right wheel, which just has a linkage to the foot pedal. That one just needs new...

Would a 140 width be too much for a front tire on an 18" wheel? Thanks in advance.

LINK Any thoughts? Bad idea? Looks like they are about a third of the cost of new OEM (the kit includes seals). I'm always on the look out for a good deal, but I also don't want to cheap out on my Max!

I am fitting 17" wheels to my '07. For the front I purchased a 2002 YZF600 17". I know the standard fitting procedure has been to pull approx 6mm from the left front fork tube and then the same amount from the front right spacer. I generally like to only perform mods that do not...

Discovery channel sent Jay barbieri to mustang to day to film for a new show thats going to air this spring. He and michelle smith (the blonde from the original american thunder series) are going to host it ,it will be called "two wheel thunder" Think its cool to work in the motorcycle...

I've got a 85 style front wheel that i'm looking to get rid of in favor for a newer style front wheel. Just curious if anyone wanted the 5 spoke style front to mach an aftermarket rear or anything. Let me know! I'm not looking to sell my wheel or buy a different wheel, so i didn't post in the...
