    4 into 1 Advice

    My apologies. I sold my Gen1 a few years ago when it got too crowded in the garage, Gen 1 & 2 and SV650. I had not kept up with the times and now can't find Mark's web site any longer. Damn shame as I thought it was the best of the three 4 into 1 pipes out there. Kerker too raspy, Hindle to...

    4 into 1 Advice

    Marks Pipe is the way to go. He will listen to your wants, needs, desires, and build you exactly what you want. Had his 4 into 1 pipe on my Gen1 98 model and it was deep, throaty, and just right loud. I told him I wanted it this loud: "The wife will join me and tolerate it when asked to, but...

    2025 Daytona Bike Week

    I screwed that last post up and made it a little confusing. Anyone planning to attend? Any VMAX events scheduled? Anyone? Rich from N.J., Gary from AL, and myself from Ft. Laud will be at Bulows 3/6-9. Stop in say hello.

    6th gear

    I have had two memorable trips into the triple digits that will stick with me for a long time. First was on my Gen1 shortly after curing my 115mph headshake. I decided to peg the throttle and leave it there as long as I dared. Right about 135 was my limit as that seemed freaky fast on a VMAX...

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    BTW, I got my AVON from Summit Racing. Local dealer wanted $50 more, and to wait two weeks to see if distributor received the tire, then another week or ten days shipping to dealer. Summit had it one on my doorstep $50 bucks less and in just under 48 hours after I hit enter to purchase, and free...

    The Michelin is an excellent rain tire up front, I haven't gotten the AVON wet yet.

    Here you go. I dare anyone to be able to spot the difference of the 50 vs 55 without two bikes side by side.

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    I have run Michelin tires on every car truck and motorcycle I have ever owned. The road 3 is now the 6 because of updated treads and compounds but I have never subscribed to the idea you must run the same brand front and rear on anything as long as they are within reasonably similar construction...

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    The Battlax is the standard OEM from which to compare the others: went through 3 of them in 10,000 miles Dunlop Elite 3 was a great tire for mileage but could easily be spun on dry hot pavement of South Florida. No longer available. Current tire is the AVON Cobra Chrome 200/55R18 and so far I...
