What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[Dansmaxresto]

I bet you've read other info on here about checking the gas tank for corrosion, changing the gas filter, you can source one from your local auto parts store, which fits in the OEM location, search on here for exact part #'s. Blow-out the fuel lines, disconnect the line to the fuel pump, then 'blow.' While you're waiting.

Yes, cleaned the tank once and will probably do it again, put a new fuel filter in, blew out the fuel lines, etc.

Dyna 3K flaked out after 20+ years so tuning new Ignitech unit with help from @one2dmax and @Traumahawk. Got that figured out now I have a bloody low beam short that's more complicated due to dual projector lamps/hids and relays. lol

Glad that I could help.

Me personally I have the 90/130 bulb that Sean sells, (although now Sean sells the 100/140) low/high beam. Its a simple swap, and Ive had mine since 2014 with no issues.

Yes, thinking of going back to stock headlight or one with LED's. With all the relays/wiring for the two HID bulbs and the ballasts....it looks like my bride's hair in the morning. I used to run a hotter H4 bulb but seemed they burned out after a year.

Cheers.

when I have to do stuff like that I just fill it in entirely and then drill new holes afterwards,

Didn't occur to me as I was intent on reusing as much of the original pieces as possible.

If you stand 1.73 miles away and squint, it does not appear too bad, but not good either; I wasn't aiming for a concourse finish, just as long as it holds. (could have spent more time smoothing the front).
Location of hole turned out not to be a problem.

Can't wait to throw a slick paint job on her !

Me either. My mind is a mess when I think of paint colors. Have so many ideas. But I also want to keep it simple. Not overdo it

Well.........
I haven’t done a lot of farkilling with the bitch I did receive the lowering pegs from corbin. I have taken a week off for vacation rented a bobcat and cutting trails through the woods for the 12x12 tent decks and a shower/thunder box deck. I hope to get this completed this year take advantage of restrictions and go full tilt next year. Business first farkle later I kind of like stock with an air box flash I ride this bike very hard I don’t see any reason to stray from yammies plan I have adjusted to the way I like it and rider hard she is truly scary sometimes the amount of unexpected rage
Anyway I must get back at it 4 or 5 more loads of rock and the ring trail should be done
Cheers keep the fibber on the road

Assembled after a long winters nap and running. Took way, way, way too long. Put on about hundred and twenty miles so all fresh fuel in the system.

New fuel tank and sending unit go in today. Carbs from Dannymax should be here Tuesday. Getting close!!!

 

[patate657]

Just got both on mine on yesterday. Only have to put the wheel and covers on today. Was so much Fun......

 

[Fire-medic]

Dansvmaxresto and patate657 sound like they're close to enjoying the VBoost. Like the Carly Simon song:

 

[Dansmaxresto]

Does anyone know what the plate washer that goes on the bolts that hold the sending unit on are made of? They appear to be a fiber material of some sort. The old washers are shot and the new tank and sending unit did not come with new bolts.

 

[patate657]

Don't know if you have this, but it might help you Find some.

If anyone wants my old Gen 1 tank it’s yours if you pay shipping. It’s pretty rusty and no sending unit or gas cap, of course.
