Bike looks good, Julius. Welcome back to the forum.
Greeting from Malaysia
Join this forum and being a lurker long ago when I got my 1st 93'Vmax 6yrs back , but sold after 2yrs and grab an 08 R1 .
Then again , sold the R1 and back to 97'Vmax this June :biglaugh:
Thanks to this awesome forum , I learn & practice all of the common tech issue from you guys, and DIY for the very 1st time.
Upgrade the to progressive spring & lowered 1" , replace seal , got my wife help to pull the fork while installing back the top cap .. PITA
Replace steering head bearing , and to grind it off the lower race is real PITA
Repaint all to Matte black from silver
No plan to change the headlamp but somehow i drop it when checking the wiring. So just rush to car accessories shop grab 2 type of fog lamp , lower lamp with H3 HID , top with normal H3 cool white.
Also , no plan to trim the rear fender , but a blind rider just bang on me and lose his 4pcs front tooth. Will look for a replacement later.
Stage 1 Jet kit will be the next :eusa_dance:
You guys rock!! greatly appreciated :clapping:
Regards,
Julius Lim
Hi everyone. got my first vmax a week ago and found this site from my r1 forum. i love the comfort and violence. dont like front end tho, would like to throw some upside downs on soon. where i live in michigan the roads are junk. the wife likes the back of this one compared to r1. in summary its my first cruiser, and im glad i didnt have to sacrifice power to ride comfortably.
Hey guys and gals....Kent here from southeast Texas, around the Beaumont area. Just bought my 2nd Vmax. My first was a new 99' and I rode it for 4 years before trading her in on a H-D. Had the touring/sturgis bug. been on several bikes since then, including an 06' Busa. (getting old,and my back is much happier on the Max...lol). So was looking around for something affordable and dark. And found this bike on Ebay in IN.
Anyway.....thanks for your time and help.....( I know its coming and I'm gonna need it....lol. here's some pics..let me know what ya'll think.....Kentmax5
