How many people here buy parts that they don't need now, but MIGHT need in the future, or stuff that is such a good deal.....you just cant pass it up?

I've had the bike now for a little bit over 2 years, I have a couple of extra air boxes, and extra wiring harness, extra scoops, and extra rear fender, 3 drive shafts, 2 swing arms, and 2 extra stock seats, an extra gauge cluster, extra preload adjusters.....

There is no hope for me is there?:ummm:

You might want to look into going to a few MMA (Mod Monkey Anonymous) meetings.
That Crazy Little Monkey has you by the short and curly's ! :rofl_200:

Just about enough parts to build another one, another half motor. Isn't it prudent to have a few extra sets of carbs?

My name is Steve-0 and I'm a maxaholic. Once I start I can't stop. I've tried everything, including riding a Victory.

Before this all happened I used to go to Over Sexed Anonymous hoping for a relapse.

Hahaha. I'm far from the worst offender but I do have some spare stuff on hand.

I think song describes what any of us would try (with Gen 2 parts) if we worked at Yamaha.

The only problem I have is that very few stock Vmax parts fit Toxic anymore. Have a friend who loves to go "shopping" in my garage for stock parts. Think I have filled the shelves of his over the past few years....... And yet I still have spares on the shelf just because you never know what you may need.

You know with the first Gen, there is just SO MUCH stuff that you can do with these bikes, and it all comes down to what you like....and what you can afford.
