Sorry,
I posted my Yammie over on the bike picture thread so I thought I’d repost here amongst the other Yamaha’s. View attachment 77483

Yes. That is the cup that came with the holder. Kuryakyn and runs about $185, but I have other larger thermal mugs that fit it. Bottom line, I’m never thirsty while riding. 😁

I love those machines !
A friend and customer had one that was "camed", "piped", "carbed", "lightened flywheeled", plus...
I got to know him and the bike after it developed a rod knock that took out the crankshaft and all four con-rods because somebody screwed up the oil supply system when they fixed the transmission.
We started calling it Mad Max, cause it was... The sound that thing produced was matched by none, NONE !

Yeh Man, that 4 into 1 Kirker I had on mine sounded good too. Quiet enough so you could idle through town without getting a ticket but when you opened er up, LOUD !

I'm thinking guys used to sometimes put Mad Max engines in those bikes. Or was that a different model? My memory is getting kind of .. of .. huh?

Well, it was the same engine as the VMax but was missing the V-boost and had slightly different jets. The jets could be changed easily enough and the V-boost would fit on it. Then you had 185hp to the rear wheel!
