The day started out by finishing up the VMAX sleeve to attach the new front end to the VMAX neck tube. We made this on the lathe and it fit perfectly. We made this out of the donor stem because it was aluminum and had the exact outer diameter for the donor triple clamps.
Chris and Phil pressed the sleeve into the triple clamp.
Here is the bottom clamp with the sleeve pressed in. Deuce and Chris pressed the VMAX stem into the bottom clamp with a snap ring so everything stays together. Now Chris can install the newer sport front end onto the VMAX frame utilizing the original size bearings.
Deuce sanded down the Virago tank and prepped it for some "notes" and clear. More to come on this one.
Chris finally found a bike that was his size!! Rode around and jumped a stump in the yard for a little while.

| The tank looks great on the Virago, it is coming together nicely. Phil got the Shovel started and let it run for a while, it sounded great! |
