    1985 max

    1985's are NOT stronger running than the others. Think about the various upgrades since then, how old the rubber and plastic parts are that might give you problems and a host of other considerations you should make before deciding. A bike 10 years younger might be in better shape, have the...

    My most serious mod yet!

    Was just kidding about the billet part Rusty, since the can is also out of aluminum. You just might have stumbled on something there. Everybody can display their favorite drink with their favorite ride. Just might catch on so consider a patent.:confused2: :cheers00:

    My most serious mod yet!

    They would probably tag him for driving with an open container. LOL That mod is made out of billet, isn't it?

    what's the HP Gain from Aftermarket exhausts?

    My personal opinion is that if the stock exhaust is in good shape and you like the looks, keep it 'till you drop the bike or mess them up somehow. One bike mag has the Max putting out 116 hp at the rear already (2003). You will likely not feel the extra hp gain by the seat of the pants because...

    On your next night ride...

    Now you're talking my language. I still have the 13 segments of COSMOS that Dr. Sagan narrated. The study of electronics is another fascinating subject not unlike the Cosmos. Here's something to think about. There are more stars (suns) than all the sand grains on all the beaches of all the...

    World Record Clam discovered in Michigan

    Great, just great. Now it all makes sense somehow. LOL Just one thought. I wonder if the Harley guy and his beard were munching on that flea market?

    V-Boost Question

    Found a site where some dyno tests were held on the v-boost and t-boost of the Max. It pretty well shows what Rusty had experienced at the drag strip and I also noticed for the short time I tried full boost all the time. For those interested enough in finding out in black and white, PM me so...

    Just bought me a set of carbs....

    Just think Randy, for a mere $3500.00 more, you could have bought a fuel injection system. What were you thinking? :rofl_200: Good luck on those new to you carbs.

    World Record Clam discovered in Michigan

    Can somebody please explain what we're looking at here. Don't remember ever seeing anything like that before, but then I didn't grow up on a horse farm either. Is that a BIG clam attached to a small person or a small person attached to a big clam? It's all so confusing. :confused2:

    Nitrous for Mr. Max?

    I bought a new 1984 ZX300 turbo. Nice car but was NO Toyota in quality. My hot rod days go back to the stone age where a street hot rod was taking a big Olds engine, punching it out to 418 cubes, 11.5 pistons, two dual line Holleys and an Iskendarian RR3 roller cam that barely idled at 2K+ and...

    Nitrous for Mr. Max?

    Oh common Rusty, tell us how you managed to run that 350Z so rich to make it seize, or did it? Did that to a small hydroplane I built long time ago. It threw me in the middle of the lake and kept on going, shot up the rocky embankment and seized itself from lack of cooling. Should have had a...

    V-Boost Question

    On mine it was a small white connector where Mark already said. When you turn on the ignition, there are two sounds from the servo. When you hear the first sound ending, turn off the ignition instantly and disconnect the connector for the servo motor. I had to turn my idle up some but it's...

    Drivers Backrest

    Not quite sure exactly what you're asking me Randy. I made the whole backrest from stuff I had lying around. Saw a picture of one 3 years ago and decided it wasn't hard to do. Not sure anymore where I saw it but Caber's Drivers Backrest is still on the Net through Google but couldn't find...

    V-Boost Question

    Unplugged the boost today in the open position and that sucker sure idles like it's going to kick ass. One thing I noticed right off is that the throttle response has more umpf at the initial opening which made the tire break loose as I was turning right out of my driveway. Woo-hoo, what a...

    2nd Throttle

    I had all those pictures at one time while the mods were in progress but cleaned house a while back. There is little room to see in there and even less to work in. It is on the same principle as a cruise control, if you ever installed one. Bead chain for the new control which allows the...

    2nd Throttle

    Thanks for your concern Rob but it's only a cruising throttle, works very freely with no chance of a hangup. I've had this mod on all my other bikes with never a problem for over 40 years. Those that can't make it fool proof, should never even try something like this, besides they wouldn't...

    Drivers Backrest

    The rest attaches to the same place the back seat is attached. Just took a few pictures to give you an idea. Note the "U" bend. It has holes at each end which the bolts go through that hold the rear seat in place. The two fasteners you see are called wingbolts because I welded a wingnut to the...
