Picked up the Vmax this morning.  :yahoo:
I also got to test the new front tie down rig. Worked like a champ.

I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Nice bike Fred.  But I have to mention that I really like that trailer you modified :)..

Good looking v-max , looks like it has the case guards already installed...sweet.

So trivia question .. where is the gas cap?

Yes case guards, stainless steel front an rear brake lines and a Yamaha genuine accessories Corbin seat.

I am thinking Silky White for a repaint and Real Carbon Fiber carb scoops. Black Supertrapp mufflers.

White!  :bad:       But it's your Max so feel free to paint it green if you want.

Red is the correct color for that year . It looks like someone already painted the scoops black , go for the polished aluminum look .. Carbon fiber is ok.

I used to own a 85 v-max myself years ago and I did it again with a 2001 v-max with the all carbon fiber look. The red always looked better to me.

You know there is a mod to bring all 6 carbs on at once.  :biggrin:

Under the seat.

Nice Fred, I'd love to have a V-max myself.

Congrats again on the V-MAX. I would have called you but you were probably out in the shop painting or power coating something. Fred will busy now, all the OT he can get. Farkels aren't cheep.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!
