    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

He is in California, so he will probably find someone willing to pay 28K for a old, used V Max. lol

I'm shocked that NADA lists an excellent Max at 12k, but then again, I dont watch sales of those.

They are typically listed on Craigslist for $3,000-$5000. I imagine most of them sold over the past couple years go in the $3k-$3.5k range.

Five years ago, they were going for about $5k on ebay, but not anymore.
 
Those fake air inlets on the original V-Max are no longer cheesy. Now they're historical.

When I bought my new Z28 in 1982

it it had the same HP rating (claim) as the V-Max: 145.

The amazing world famous Mowercycle - $1000 (inver grove heights)

I purchased this icon 3 years ago and never rode it.
I have given up on riding bikes so she needs to go.
The person I bought it from drove it here.
This machine is cool as hell and known around the world.
If you YouTube mowercycle Sturgis burnout you will see it in action.
It will need a new battery most likely and a little work to get her back in action.
only selling as I need the space.
I have about $1400 into it so losing money on the deal.
The original bike is a Kawasaki kz 550 4 cyl.
I don't know a lot more about it except that when anyone sees it they think it is super cool.

I bet the exhaust blasting in your face makes it a real joy to ride.

Its funny enough that I don't hate it. I would imagine its not a bike, errrr mower, for those with short legs.

And to think I gave my LTD 550 away when i could have done this...
 
Well, the seat, and...all the other parts, actually are not to my liking. I bet his neighbors love those pipes! :p

At least he's got the correct license plate! :devilish:

Spyder, Rob was just correctly, sarcastically pointing out the absurdity of the statement from the CL listing "Valves all adjusted using shims." Of course,they were. What else would he have used, quarters?
 
Now, if he had used shims on a four-valve 1100, that would have been newsworthy.

And the tape - let's not forget the exhaust tape. It ages so well. Four years later, it looks almost as bad as it did brand new. :-\\\
 
What about the fact that the engine missing a bolt to hold the engine in the bike, Or the fact that he cut alot the frame bracing out for single pipe for upper frame. He also has has pins just pushed into connectors.

One more thing I remember that carb boots have orange rtv on them so I'm guessing there torn and need of proper replacement
