Up for consideration I have my 2006 Vmax.
$5000...firm
16.7K miles
Engine guards with cruise pegs.
Stainless steel radiator cover.
Supertrapp slip-ons with 4 disc per side and each end plate has a 1 1/8" hole in it.
Fairly new Metzler front and Avon Cobra rear tire.
National Cycle flyscreen.
Frame braces.
I have the centerstand, the stock exhaust, passenger backrest with OEM luggage rack, and OEM air box cover (I use a magnetic tankbag and didn't want to scratch the flame cover so I wrapped it and boxed it and set it on the shelf) (I bought a used air box cover from a member here). Also have another handlebar for it.
I may have forgotten to list something. If I did, I'll add it later.
I bought the bike at end of summer in '15 with 10K miles on it to replace my '03 that burned up in the fire. Previous owner had let it sit in his climate controlled basement for 3 or 4 years because the carbs needed some love and he didn't want to pay the dealership the estimated $700 they were going to charge to correct that, so he went and bought a new Honda VFR1200 instead. During the years it sat in the basement the fork seals starting weeping.
I went through the bike front to rear and corrected all of the un-loving it had received.
I have the bike jetted 1 size up on the slows (40s) and down 2 sizes on the mains (147.5). Bike cranks and runs flawless. I average between 44 - 48 MPG. It has a Hi-Flo air filter.
Bike has no shifting issues and finds neutral easily. Unlike the '03 I owned this bike hasn't been above 100 MPH while under my ownership. I do run it up just to feel the V-Boost from time to time (the sound and V-boost is the whole point of the Max to me).
If the price is too high then you could un-do what I have done and sell the parts on the forum here to reduce your 'buy-in' price.
Reason for sale:
My youngest just finished her freshman year at college and I can only see this costing even more for the next 3 years. Just trying to stay ahead the curve and what's to come, that's all.
Any questions just ask. I am in Reidsville, NC.
Thanks,
John
