What a cool little thumper. Congrats on a nice find! Unpopular sentiment but I've always thought drum brake tech is underappreciated.

Just FYI, you can tell the pump was done if you see a punch mark beside the VIN stamped in the neck.

I've heard the phrase "limited run" associated with the '09s too although I don't know exactly what it means. I'm not able to speak on an unflashed ECU's true performance because the bike had a very ratty Voodoo exhaust/mid-pipe when I got it. It was running like ****, smelled like a fuel...

Yeah, that'll fit any gen2

Welcome. Dig the striped rims. Wanting to do that to mine.

WTH is that from? Sweaty knees? Nice looking carbon airbox cover though!

Congrats on finally landing a Vmax, Devildog. Maybe one of those grandkids will show an old Jarhead how to use a phone camera so you can post some pics of it! S/F

Wow - incredible response from the family. God bless 'em! I'm waaayyy too calloused to muster that level of forgiveness. Afraid I'd have something entirely different waiting for him after his release.

Tough looking machine. I've never seen signals mounted at that location. Pretty creative.

Right. Manual contains stern warnings to keep magnets away from the sensors too. I thought the chances of accidentally getting a magnet in that area were slim till realizing brake bleed catch bottles are often fitted with a magnet.

I know everyone is probably as holidayed out as I am. However, due to illness, my family's Christmas get-together was delayed. Somehow my daughter found the perfect gift for this coffee-guzzling Vmax enthusiast!

Looks like a Delk

My '09 also had VooDoos when I bought it. Too loud for my taste. And I've owned decatted unbaffled Harleys. After a boatload of research, I went with Delk mids and ovals. The baffled tone and volume is perfect IMO. Performance with Nash's Holeshot flash is spot on. However, I had a helluva time...

Not long ago there was a YT video of a couple guys changing a set on a Gen 2 but I can't seem to find it now. Weird.

UPDATE: -Delkevic mid-pipes/slip-ons -Airbox mod + K&N -Nash flash (for above) -DoubleD spring/retainer mod -Pitbull spindles -Pazzo levers -Sato rear sets -Tender voltmeter/USB ports -Custom LED bulbs -ProTaper bars -Sickspeed horn -CNC sliders -YZF LED signals -L3K 6.6 gal tank -KIWAV mirrors...

Reminds me of an early 80s CB750!

Merry Christmas folks. And may 2023 be a great year for all y'all!

Thanks for sharing this with us 1badmax. I hadn't heard. Tim has always come across as a true gem over the phone. Real down-to-earth even though his maps grace the ECUs of VMaxs all over the globe. He's probably influenced Gen2 performance more than anyone since Mr. Ekuan. Definitely will pray...

Congrats on acquiring badmax2.0. I'm guessing the yet completed mod is mid-pipes.

Got my MR carbon cowl this week. I ordered it via Rick on June 7 for $286. I believe $80 of that was shipping. Haven't installed it yet because the tail is at a body shop getting re-cleared. Cowl looks good overall but it arrived with a couple of small chips.
