    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    Here's another thought I had on the subject of flat slides. How is it Harley's with only 2 cylinders run on them? Just wondering?

    What's up with cobras?

    So I noticed in another thread the comments about cobras being bad for a vmax? Just thought I stir up **** and ask why? One would think opening up the exhaust and letting exhaust out faster would allow air and fuel in faster. Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions ? Discuss.

    Callipers overhaul problems.

    I would take a caliper (measuring ruler, not brake component). Measure the diameter of the pistons and the channels for the o rings and compare them to the original. The problem with Ebay these days is there are billions of counterfeit parts made cheaply in China being sold as name brand parts.

    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    And being how this has now turned into a big OFF Topic issue. And I have a few minutes. I'll explain how I do ****. 1. Make a list of what I need to do a project. 2. Gather up what the cost is going to be to do a project. 3. Research the numbers and equations to determine wether the project will...

    What if the guy pulled the valve covers to adjust the valves. Realized he didnt know how or what he was doing. Then slapped em back on. Then all this worry, time and expense is for nothing. Which Is why getting the exact answer of what he touched and did, is a damn good path to follow. Often...

    Brake calipers upgrade

    I went with Nison masters and Sumiotomos. I use bar end mirrors. But the Nison masters have mirror mounts. The braking is so fricken smooth I can brake with one finger. The pots are a Triumpth clutch resevoir. There are many combinations that work well. The hardest part I found was making a...

    Funny I was just at Deals Gap with Marcus and Jim Piscatello all weekend and they never smelled like gas. And they both have flat slides.

    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    Apparently you have forgotten what a question is. If some asks for info. THEY WANT THAT INFO. MOST OF US, NOTHING MORE. Now if some one asks for OPINIONS. THEN by all means give it. I thought the VMOA died. But apparently it is alive and well in here. It's a shame all these opinions weren't...

    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    I now have 2 leeds on manifolds. Morley and Thanks to you. Extracrep. That is what I was looking for. Nothing more. I was also thinking maybe some one else in here had or knew of some one that might have an old set laying around. It never hurts to ask. And that's what this community is for.

    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    And just because I havent been posting in this forum all the time. Doent mean I've been gone. I've been part of the vmax community since '06.

    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    Doent Matter if they are deceased. You ignored my whole point. Which was doers dont listen to nay sayers. They and others pioneered allot of what gets done in the Vmax community. When people post a Question, they want an answer to their question. Not some big speech on why it's not the right...

    Are you vertifying that in the Yamaha manual? I would call the guy and ask him to explain to you exactly what he did when he said he tried to adjust the valves. Dont be rude or blame him for ****. Just explain to him your trying to get it running again and need his help in figuring out Exactly...

    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    And what if? People like Morley, Harnish, Cornel, Warner, Gainey. Listened to other people that told them, man you shouldn't do that, your going to destroy your motor, it's a waste of money. Stick to factory, or use only this brand of parts? Only do this or it's a waste of time. Would any of us...

    Flat Slide Manifolds?

    Thanks Sean. Will do. Again FM. It's just a project I'm thinking about. I happen to run with Marcus Hickman from time to time. He has a 1500 PCW chain drive that won the dyno shootout in Daytona during bike week, for that class. More than once. He rides that bike all over the place balls to...
