    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Ran the Max again (not ready for street yet) and got the R1 all set. Took my son for a spin on the R1 in the driveway and "raced" him down the street while he pedaled like no tommorrow tearing up the sidewalk with his big wheel. He "won" too, lol.

    Would that size front brake master cyclinder play well with R1 calipers? If so, you'll have a sale.

    unusual creations look almost biological, they move by themselves

    Now, the question is, can you attach a kite buggy to the purely wind driven creations and go for a ride? The gentleman that created those is a genius and true artist!

    #3 Cylinder Issues - General Operating Question

    Well, in lieu of removing the bowl you could open the drain screw for the hose that sticks out, keep a mason jar under it and cycle the key as needed to get gas pumping out... or pull the carbs off, set em on a stand next to the bike with the drain plug removed from the bowl and a jar under it...

Id use 316 stainless for the innertube if possible...

    Ufo 4 into 2 way to loud

    If its the slash cut "mufflers" theres not a whole lot that can be done. When i had mine i put in as much fiberglass packing as i could and put in voodoos speakeasys. Both helped with dropping noise a little, and i mean a very little. The tone was much improved but still loud as hell...
