this is my 1997 yamaha vmax. this bike
was completely stock when i bought it 7 years ago. the first 3 years i
owned it it stayed that way. then i saw a max on ebay with parts on it i'd
never seen before-i bought it and rarely rode the 97. the bike came with a
folder of aftermarket suppliers and after 2 years of saving and research i
decided to do up the 97. this is what i have done to date-cobra slash cut

Here is a pic of my v-max for the
gallery, it`s currently being worked on (17 inch wheels and
upgraded suspension), but hopefully it will be done by next spring.
It`s a 1993 2WE with thicker forks
and upgraded front brakes. Extras are aftermarket tail unit, frame brace
bars, steering damper, supertrapps.
