I bought one of those hydraulic jacks from Sears and have to run the bike up on a couple of 2x4's to get the jack under it because it's lowered all around. While on the Yahoo lists, others also wanted a way to lift the bike without scratching the pipes or burning up the rubber pads on the lift...

Good info Mark and Rusty, thanks. Guess I'll have to try it out to see just what the pros and cons are for me. Thanks again. And Robbarrie, any time.

There are several on this list with knowledge of running boost full time wide open. The thought of the idle sounding like it has race cams installed appeals to me. I have several questions and all answers would be appreciated. 1) At what rpm will it idle satisfactorily? 2) Will the carbs...

I might be wrong but I think the CB750 Honda in 1969, which actually was a 1970 model, was the beginning of the fast bike era. I was challenged many times by stockers and souped up whatever and always came out ahead. Even made a little money on some side bets. That thing was a rocket after...

Gary, you can get the whole package by browsing the Net. I forget who or where I bought mine two years ago. This is actually a seat cover for one of those big seats on a stationary bike like you would find in a gym. If I remember right, it was only $25 and the gel will even stay soft in cold...

If any of you out there have a back injury, this helped me. Broke my spine in two places a while back and even though it's healed, prolonged strain on it will make it complain. Hanging on to the bars at speeds will put that pressure through your spine. Here I made my own support out of a new...

If your right hand ever felt like it needed a rest on the longer cruises, a 2nd throttle is a big help right where you would relax it, hanging by your side. A quality mower throttle can be used for this purpose. Pulling up on it works just as good as a twist of the top one.

This is my third attempt to make the stock seat more comfortable. Each time one gets better at it and can truly say that it made a huge difference on the length of time I could bare to stay in the saddle. Now I can travel for hours without the need to stop and stretch. All three sections have...

Rusty, don't ever kid yourself about not knowing. Many times I wanted to say almost the same thing but I also wasn't sure so kept quiet. Supposedly there are several changes between the N.A. version and Euro. One is the V-boost, some carb restrictions to prevent them from opening completely...

Seasons greetings from Cincinnati also to all. Sunny and the temp in the 40's. Time to roll out the brute and let it exercises a bit. Biking on Christmas eve, I love it.

Thanks Mark, that was a good read. I was amazed that the Magna has 100cc less displacement, no v-boost to speak of and almost as many ponies and torque as the Max. 1/4 mile times also hardly any difference with 30-40 lbs lighter. This all goes back to the v-boost debate where it's taken for...

Hmmmmmm thanks, anybody know what the V65 Magna's hp was?

The question is Buster, is that 100hp at the flywheel or rear tire? Got into a discussion on another forum where even guys from Europe state that this 100hp is at the crank. I just find that hard to believe but nobody has anything in black and white.:confused2:

Does anybody really know what the hp on the stock Euro Max really is? Either at the crank or at the rear wheel. TIA

If I were selling them, I would have listed them there. This was just a heads up for those interested in such a modification. If WHERE still applies, then one of the moderators should have moved it. Doesn't seem like WHERE is such a critical issue in this case. IMHO

Randy, a lot depends what they will go for at the end of the auction. PLUS in what condition your carbs are and what condition those are. If your carbs are fine, a kit from Sean would be a better choice. The setup might be good and it might also have problems. New usually takes some of the...

That's what I was thinking too. With a good run-on, he might even make it on the double yellow without crossing it. The line, I mean.:rip:

Carbs plus stage 7 kit already installed. The whole deal with separate filters with only about 14 hrs left. eBay #190063257653

Believe it, I know.

Why would you want to see what others have in their heads. On most people it's obvious from the outside that the cavern is just for collecting ear wax.:rofl_200:
