The scoop inserts look good, I was tempted to buy them. The lighting does a good job aesthetically-speaking, in my opinion.
What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

I added some knee grip plates I scored cheap from ebay. I'm a bit too long legged to really use them, but they look cool. Also put on the fatmax bags I picked up from Sean and got them wired up.

Worked on these today, did not care for the bronze color of the covers. Did a little color match and like it. Got to get the gasket for clutch side before I can do it.
I was too but not being in USA postage and tax/duties would have made it prohibitively expensive.
I like the back light leds too - in the UK the police would stop you as you are not allowed red light at the front of a vehicle. Potentially you could have multi coloured led that is normally white and changes to amber when indicating.

THANKS, I think it looks good too, not to obnoxious but gives it a little attitude. lol

Yeah some states here in the USA prohibit red lights only if they are flashing. I live in Vegas so no worries here.I was too but not being in USA postage and tax/duties would have made it prohibitively expensive.

put a fresh coat of clear on my bikes air box cover as something had caused marks on it over winter
Put new rotors on the front today, to bad it snowed or I’d test ride it.

Hadn’t seen this rack posted on here yet, just came in today. Will post a review later tonight.
You got a link to where you got it from for the rest of us

I got it from exactrep, shipping was pretty quick even though it had to cross the pond. Couldn’t find a factory one , plus wanted it taller.
Today I put new shocks on it and lowered it a little. I then washed it up, supposed to be nice out here tomorrow and it runs better when it’s clean.

Big day!
1) got out a seized fork top cap
2) synced the carbs- fun fact, the screws can be replaced with fine threaded M5 socket cap bolts (my old screw stripped on the left-right sync and the 3rd and 4th cylinders were briefly running at full throttle, unsolicited)
Now I just need a new fork cap and two oils seals and I’m almost good to ride after a 1-year hiatus.

Pulled the 85 out of hibernation today.
Let the fuel pump cycle.till carbs full.choke on.And hit the button. And then it happened.The kerker 4-2-1 let out a roar.The engine fired up.And stat there ideling.waiting for temps to rise.As oil circulating through all its passages.The choke was shut off.After a couple blips of the throttle.I knew what it wanted.(so did I)
So off for a short shake down run.And a couple spring burnies. And a visit from a local police officer.
It's VMAX season!
