Wrecked the Vmax!

[trimvein]

Hello all,

Anyone have a good connection for a radiator for my 1997 Vmax?

I wrecked it last night and rear ended a car... maybe totalled the car but the beastly Vmax seems to be repairable.

However, I am going to get a quote to see what kind of damage actually happened.

So I am in need of some items if anyone can help...

1- Radiator + all hoses and attachments...
1 - Right Blinker assembly
1 - Right muffler *small damage but may want to replace

here is a pic if anyone can see more damage.

Thanks,
JT

I hope all involved are OK. with that said, +1 for the Mighty Max


Also I just took off my stock blinkers, I can sell you them for whatever the FMV is. Goto ebay and find the cheapest, tell me, and we can work out a deal that's less than that

Looks like the rear brake pedal is twisted out of shape and I would be worried about the waterpump elbow being damaged. Can't really tell in the pictures but it appears you had a highway peg attached to the frame that bent back that way and could have cracked it.

I've got a couple of good radiators (price varies a little bit). One is from a very low mileage (1144) 2002 so it's in great condition. The others will be average condition like yours. I can't get just one muffler I don't think though we do sell the supertrapps.

A new radiator without any of the covers, inner screen, or any misc is $1300!!

Exactrep sells a larger replacement for $1,050 + shipping from England.

That black stain, smaller and a little more inboard from the gray coolant stain, is that oil or fresher coolant? :ummm:

eBay is your friend. Radiators show up regularly along with most parts needed to rebuild.

Email me at [email protected] I can probably help you out with everything except the exaust for a reasonable cost.

There are several radiators on ebay from $90 - $250. I am sure they are not as nice as Seans but if your strapped for cash it may get you back riding for the rest of summer.

Glad your ok and hat she wasn't damaged to bad. Good luck unk:unk:

Glad you're O.K. health wise ???? How did you manage to avoid visible damage to the forks ?

Hi do you know of any wrecking yards that purchase bikes? In southern california preferably, but I figured you would know more than I have any clue about.

The Vmax is totalled and/or I don't have the money to repair the bike....

Thanks

Send me info. I may or may not be interested depending on price, condition, and your willingness to maybe get it on a pallet and drop it off at a shipping dock.

man don't junkyard it--what a wasteful ending. dismantle and part it out. if not, get to sean or kyle and give the max's life some meaning. don't let it turn into a bucket of rusty bolts. from the pix, there are lot of goodies left.

The good news, you get to ride again someday. Glad you are alright!
