    Big bore?

    Is there any big bore or stroker kits available for a gen 1 and if so are they worth it and how much and where can I find parts... I would like some more juice under me its a fun bike but it's less than impressive, I don't feel like it lives up to the stigma

    I'm thinking of changing both master cylinders on the handle bars to some newer Nissin units. I rebuilt the stock Vmax ones and one is leaking and I don't like how the powder coating came out. For the clutch MC, I assume I should stay with the bore size that the stock MC has. I have 6 piston...

    what needs to be done to get 1500 vmax engine

    Hi, Is it expensive to get the 1200cc vmax engine converted to 1500cc? Or basically a just a change of pistons? Does 1500 pistons fit the stock cylinders? Is there anything else to consider if your thinking about converting 1200cc to 1500cc? Thanks!

    Crankcase pressure (big bore engines)

    Wondering what you guys are doing about the extra pressure from the crankcase. Are you using stock breather or STG 7 set up or how are you managing excessive oil from blowing out the breather?
