    carb diaphragms

    well like I said I get all parts at cost and labor at about 40 so (half) cannot beat that. it is a lot and not totally sure what they did but one of my closest friends runs the whole place and seen as they are not making money I know they did not do anything that didn't need to be done

    Issues with the rain?

    Ah gotya. I thought you were worried about the water getting in somewhere lol. I honestly do not really feel vboost kick me. Does fly through the revs though but I get ya. I am very careful in the rain seen as ive been close a couple times to coming off, not on the max though.

    I need a cover for my VMAX any suggestions?

    My max is outside at the min so I got a Dowco all weather plus after reading many many reviews. Works very well. Expensive at $80 though, but you get what you pay for.

    Issues with the rain?

    I ride my max daily to work. Rain or no rain. It is completely stock. I bought it to ride! Anyway I was searching through some topics and seems like a lot of people were worried with the vboost in the rain? Why? I read people like to turn it off in rain for peace of mind? Thanks, MG

    seems like a lot of work to make something uglier???

    To be honest the more I look at it the more I like it. Was just kind of shocked I guess when I first saw it. Like all of you have said, some nice stuff on it. I just like the original look but again it is still a max, in its own way.
