How many sets do you have?

Aha -- Gen 2. That explains why members aren't blowing up this thread recommending Cobra Slip ons. Now it makes sense.

This is helpful to all, thanks. The fine print on the bottom says "1990-2003 models". Are there no substantive changes from the '85-'89's, or anything to be aware of? I have an '85. Thanks.

Thanks, I had considered putting the original mirrors and turn signals back on for the "audition" photos, but doubt that would have made a difference. I bought the bike from a European seller in Atlanta who preferred the look of the blue FZX750's that were sold outside the United States. (For...

Dij0674, I think you should try Bring a Trailer. Like Fire-medic said, invest in a new set of tires, which the bike may very well need due to age. (I personally like the raised white letters on my Dunlop Qualifiers.) Detail the heck out of it and check the brake pads. Get some good photos, like...

I don't have much experience with BaT, but if you think the mileage is not a showstopper, I'd encourage him to try it out. Based upon prior auction results, I bet he could do a lot better than $4k if it were listed on that platform.

You might try to swing for the fences with Bring a Trailer, since the bike is largely original. If they accept it, you're likely to get a higher price. The mileage may reduce the likelihood of acceptance by BaT; they're really persnickety. eBay may be a better fit, and you can still reach a...

Sorry for your loss. Perhaps you could try eBay to find a home for it. Good luck.

Thanks, I found some.

Parminio: I respect your broad range of experience, depth of knowledge, and overall VMax expertise. I am prepared to eat crow if this experiment fails miserably, and will keep a sense of humor about it. Here's a possible Gen X corollary (below); may turn out to be 100% relevant. In any event, I...

Thanks, and I'm glad to hear it's working out for you.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Was the Kerker a 4 into 1?

Thank you for the tips on the main jet. I will keep the group apprised of my likely challenges as I embark on this quixotic quest to make the Cobras work and play well with the carburetors. I'll also check out the thread on the Dynojet, and may put the Max on the dyno if I can get it running...

Ok, thanks for the warning. I appreciate it.

I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO THANK those who responded to my query regarding finding stock mufflers for my '85. The issue raised two minor, potential complications -- i.e. black vs. chrome endcaps, and whether the '85 mufflers were less restrictive than newer iterations. With these and other factors...

Ok, thanks!

Thanks, should cost about $75 to ship from within 500 miles of Florida. Does it have chrome tips, or black?

...not that that would affect fitment, of course, just a cosmetic consideration.

Thanks. I was told only the 85's had chrome tips, while later models were black.

WANTED TO BUY OEM CHROME MUFFLER assy. for my '85 VMax. If anyone has a line on one, please HMU. Mine has a big dent in the starboard side (shown in left side of photo), and I'm looking for a dent-free replacement. I'm unsure if all Gen-1 exhaust pieces are interchangeable across model years...
