What did you do to your other motorcycle today ?

Me neither… but there is one movie that will always stay on my mind, I was only 9 years old.
The movie called 'Stone'. It's a movie about a biker gang with only Z1s.
A short scene with an incredible wheelie... that's where my motorcycle addiction started. (The scene starts at 1:13:34)
I found the whole movie on the internet... I hope you can watch it. Enjoy.

But remember, it’s not a high class movie, it’s a 1974 movie with some incredible scenes for that time.

1985 V-Max with 155k miles
Off the road for three years now
Sent carbs to a V-max Specialist to get them rebuilt

Once I get my Busa motor out and the chassis off the lift I need to pull the max's fuel tank and make sure its clean
Pulled my Clunky rear shocks off the max to diagnose clunk

Pulled Fuel tank out of it,
Not so much rust but the stench of bad fuel WHEWY Reserve sending unit looks corroded
Stopping at Walmart on way home for vinegar to clean inside tank
and Gunk or something to clean outside
Everything I go to do , opens a new can of worms :D
 
You better watch out, you'll have the only Harley with aftermarket pipes that doesn't smell like it's spewing out raw gasoline....
Right. So far I got the cruising rand down between 13.9-14.2. Id say that’s not too bad. The mpg meter is steadily climbing. Can’t do a ton of riding as the temps are 100+ so maybe in a few weeks IF it drops into the 90s, I can give it a true test. Of course after all is said and done, I’ll end up with the 128 kit and nasty cam. Shooting for a 150/150 dyno run. A buddy just did a 131ci and hit 163/157, that dang thing is a beast!

I would take a pretty well set up bike to beat that thing stop light to stop light.....
 
Well my 400w amp took a dump so I sent it back to volunteer audio to get checked. Sure enough it’s bad. So I opted to upgrade to a 2000w amp and another set of speakers ( total 8 ) to run in the tour pack. I should be able to hear it over 90mph now lol

Damn rabbit hole
Holy chyt man! My house doesn't go that big. I thought I sounded good in my helmet with my lowly 100 Amps.

If you crank up the tunes you will gain mileage on your tank as the sound waves will push you along....
 
V-Max
Rebuilt carbs on
Cables on
Clutch basket back in
Old Busa Clutch lever assembly on and Bled. (OEM max one will go back on for mirror mount)

Started working on the f me. Jigsaw puzzle exhaust
Showing a FJ1200 not a max in the instructions is no help
Didn’t help it is unseasonably hot today
Tomorrow is going to be even hotter. I keep reading about this vmax but I dont see any pictures. ive been looking at a vmax but the wife would murder me. I'm trying to get away with buying a dirtbike for wheelies and hooliganism..

Get a beater 1k and put dirt bike bars on it...best hoon bike ever...cheap, and comfortable.
 
I've been wanting to ride for a few weeks now, but it's 90 degrees with 60% humidity...at 8pm...and will still be at midnight.
Hot days are normal, but these are the hottest nights, and for several weeks now too, much hotter than the nights have been in well over 20 years
