This thing has me all fired up! That fat *******... get the hell out of the way!

But I wanted to comment :clapping:

I could put something in CAD and have it laser cut in aluminum or stainless.... Let me know if you are interested. Jeff

Here is the sticky that was made a while ago: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=14541&highlight=carb+diaphragm Jeff

I would say you will be just fine, loud but fine. I'm by now means an engine expert, but I can't think you would do much damage. I think some of the concern about short/open headers comes from the vavles cooling too quickly after shutdown. I really have no clue where that all comes from, but...

Do you have the stock headers on or aftermarket? If you have the pipes going into the collector then I would say absolutely. If you have have open pipes for each cyliner that aren't very long, it will probably hurt performance a little, but should be able to get you home. I don't know what it...

Looks pretty good to me.. I would expect higher numbers with your head work... what was the A/F ratio looking like? Jeff

That guy and all the other past, present, and future service men and women (and their families) have my respect! Thanks for sharing that link! Jeff

Well, I got an update and the unit will be $5500 and once you send your transmission back to them, they will give you 50% back so your final cost would be $2,750 (plus the shipping). Not sure if this helps or not, but I thought I would let you know. Thanks, Jeff

It's probably not "insufficient" as much as there is a little room for improvement... just like in the headers, carbs, air filters, etc. There is a balance between cost, realibility, ease of design, manufacture, and assembly, functionality, and of course there are those emmission (and other)...

I actually did something very similar on my bike... I put an O2 bung in the collector of my Kerker so I could check my A/F levels, and when I'm not, I drilled out an O2 plug and put a piece of pipe in it that the breather hose attached to. It takes a big angle to get the venturi effect going...

I think you will get about the same result even without the "upgrades". The more you are able to vent the less restrictions on the engine. I believe (and please don't quote me on this) I have heard that you can get 1-2 extra ponies at the rear wheel by letting the engine vent better. That is...

Sync was my first thought, but a leak may also be an issue. Get some starting fluid and once the bike has idled down start to spray around the intake boots and any vacuum lines and see if it idles up at all. Sometime you can get in a still garage and light up a cig and gently puff out a thick...

I can make a few calls as well... give me a fes minutes and I'll see what I can come up with. Update: I have a call into a guy... and left a message... we'll see what he comes back with. Does the faceplate on the machine say Model 1 ? Update #2: He called me back and not good news. He...

What exactly do you need? There is a company pretty close to me that deals in used machines and parts... do some searching and let me know if you find anything you like: http://www.usedtooling.com/home.php Jeff

Obama has spent more than all the other presidents combined... http://www.cnsnews.com/node/72404 And I'm not sure why you would want to even compare Reagan to the current slum-loard of the white house, I don't think you will have too many people on your side. Obama has failed, not much more...

Congrats! We'll have to meet up and go for a ride! Jeff

Maybe I should call and put an even lower offer in and it would make your buddies offer look better! Jeff

I am currently running with the VBoost wide open. I have the servo and controller removed and I took a piece of brake line (metal tubing) cut a slit in it with a dremel down the length of the tube, slid the vboost wire in it and let the metal end rest on the outside (hopefully that makes sense)...

Re: need input, from evrybody! about the US of A I wish Iowa had more to offer, but it is going to be a lot of the same as Indiania.... what would also be cool is to get a map of people here on the forum that would host you for a night (or maybe ride with you for a leg or two). I wish I could...
