I was hooked...yes I lost the...

Przemek, I'm interested in what you're talking about. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that by increasing the rotation of the crankshaft we increase the leverage and there for have to use lower RPMs. Is that correct. Does that mean a stroker can't turn 9000 RPM and will produce more...

Hey Miles, Thanks for the info and the trip pics look great (I need to go west). Can you post a close up of your mod maybe a top, side, and under shot? Damien

Hey All, My machinist says he can shave the heads and decrease the combustion chamber, and increase the compression ratio. Any ideas as to how this will effect Torque or HP. What else I can do to VMax heads to squeeze some more juice out of them? Port? Polish? Any dyno numbers on some...

Had my cases and heads soda blasted for powder coating next week.

" Good luck on your Acewell ! Ibought a used 2803 model and can't seem to get the tach & speedo right. I think the speedo sensor may be bad. May be why I got a deal on it ! " I modified the old speedo mount, what did you do for the mounting bracket?

I used a piece of exhaust pipe from my local auto parts store, I think the ID was 47mm. My goal was to create a cover pipe with out affecting the steering head. This seemed to work out well. 1. Used my miter saw with a metal cutting blade, cut them to 7 3/8 in. 2. Used the side of the blade to...

I started the fabrication of a mount for my acewell gauge. Also, installed the upper fork covers I made to complete the black out of the forks.

Hey All, I just bought a complete exhaust system from Mark for my 93. He has a great way of doing business. The product quality is awesome the price is good. He went the extra mile when I contacted him about damage to the coating on the front pipes during shipping. He told me to get an...

I started my gauge relocation project. I'm replacing the stock gauges with an Acewell 4353 combo from these guys. http://s3performance.com.au/ I'm test fitting the unit, looks like I'll need to fabricate some sort of mount from the existing speedo bracket. The basic plan is to consolidate...

Thats a cool idea, I'll have to give it a try.

Thanks Clay, I'm going to give that a shot for the uppers, and see if I can find some boots that fit.

Hey All, I'm in the middle of a 93 frame up rebuild. I'm looking for fork boots to black out the uppers. Has anyone installed boots/gaiters on a vmax ? anyone know where I can get a set of boots that fit? Or anyone have a better idea of how to blackout the uppers? DJ

Hey All, I'm looking for some contact info for Marks Exhaust (his website has none), I like the powder coated setup he has and would like to get the cost, turn around time etc. Also, if anyone has experience with Mark's systems, can you reply with your opinion on quality and performance...
