I'm more than likely going to pick up a 88 Vmax tomorrow. I'm pretty excited but I have to say that after doing alot of reading on the web I'm concerned about the handling. Most of my other bikes have been sport bikes and I'm used to them handling well.
My imeediate questions are these:
The bike has two dry rotted tires right now so that's an immediate need. What does everyone recommend? I want as beefy as a rear tire as I can get. Can they do 170 stock? I've read differing statements.
I really want black wheels but every pair I see online is super expensive. What are you guys doing, just powdercoating the OEM's?
I really want to chop the hell out of rear end and remove everything I can. Anyone have links or examples of someone who has done this?
Thanks and hopefully I'll join the awesome Vmax community tomorrow. I've wanted one every since I saw one at a bike night 7 years ago. I've been ride-less for 4 years now and the time is right.
