Well thanks everyone for the input! I'm afraid I'm going to just have to can this idea, I'm actually trying to sell my max. I'm considering buying a gen2 next riding season or maybe a R3R. It wouldn't make sense to put 600 bucks in on this for radials, I doubt it'd even get me 100 bucks more out...
Disregard our rudeness, we are just very open and blunt about things here. We're too manly to sweet talk and bull shit :punk: When you replace your rear suspension, I'd recommend going ahead and upgrading it to some Chrome 412 progressive lowering shocks.
On another note to everyone bashing...
Bump. I had a problem similar to this, though it didn't suck at all, just had an occasional pop at idol out of one cylinder... Never figured out what it was!

Product: GSX-R 17" rear wheel mated to a V-Max hub
Cost: Approximately $600 (rear only)
Comment: Call Jean-Paul to arrange for payment and a week later you’ll receive a polished GSX-R rear...
I heard about some french company that had already mated a rear GXR wheel with the vmax shaft part, and sold the rear for 600 vs kosman's 550 and was a lot prettier and shipped imediately. Hold on, I'll find the link really fast.
No, it looks like the rear is the Vrod rim. They are completely solid with no spokes, at least the 180 is. How did you go about doing that? Was it cheaper than the 600 dollars for Kosman to re-do the stock rim? I can snag the pair of Vrod rims for 75 bucks, maybe even 50.
Oh... Yep, they are. The picture I saw was the rotor side for the rear :hmmm: So to make this work I'd have to probably have the center female shaft end on my max's stock rim cut out and re-welded to the vrod rim?
Is it possible for Vrod rims to fit on a vmax? They are the older ones that come with a stock 120/70-ZR19 60W and 180/55-ZR18 74W. They appear to be off a 2003... I'd really like them to put some radials on my bike for cheap. I was hoping someone who knew a bit more about the Vrod and Vmax could...
Holy sheeeeeeeet! That probably blew out all of the windows, has shrapnel embedded in everything, and blew out his eardrums too! That'd be a fun thing to explain to insurance/cops... I'm pretty sure this is why shooting NOS on the street is illegal. They don't want idiots improperly installing...
Wow, I might have to try that Itgoes. The sound is just intoxicating, ahhhh. That MV Agusta doesn't sound too bad either!!! It must be a v4 thing, to have that sexy growl!
I wish I had some Vmax buddies that'd ride around with me out here! Seems like the only riders I have around me are old farts on harleys and goldwings or adrenaline junkies on crotch rockets dragging there knee through every turn. That looked like a nice fast paced fun ride, I really wish I...
