I got this vmax last year with a whole lot of issues---spun crank,craked pipes,blown seconadry clutch,worn out drive cogs,suspension that was really tired and so on..so I stripped it all down and started from chassis up. Had the cranks welded ,found all the parts I needed a bit at a time.I want to thank every one here for all the help that I recieved when I started this project. The tech section and all the posts are a fantastic help. Still have a bit more to do but have been riding it for the last month without any problems at all..Thanks again guys.. The pic of the completed machine is where I,m at now..
