    GLOBAL WAR ON COBRAS, Part Deux

    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...

    The Borg Is Back!!

    The Borg is back! Hey all! After laying down my '96 back in late 2012, I took some time doing other things. Although I've been saving for a Gen 2, I happened across a 2002 V-max with 6800 miles for $4000, and I just couldn't resist. It's almost brand new, with only a few minor scratches...

    Avon Cobras: anyone try them out yet?

    I was rather pissed to find that the AM41/42 Venoms were no longer available in the sizes I use. But I see that they have a new matched set in 120/90-18 and 170/80-15. Avon AV71/72 Cobras. https://www.denniskirk.com/avon/front-cobra-av71-120-90h-18-blackwall-tire.p544574.prd/544574.sku...

    Gutting Cobras?

    Anyone ever gut Cobra dual slash cuts? Im bidding on ebay for a set, but am aware of the decrease in HP they impose. Just wondering if I gutted them and rejetted would i gain power as well as making them noiser, which would also be desirable in my case! Any thoughts?

    Modification to Cobras

    I've had a few questions on hole size and location so here's a quick pic. The three smaller holes are 3/8". I'm planning to open them up a bit more later. I started small just in case. The one down inside is a 9/16" hole. I'm thinking of opening this one up as well.

    HP loss with Cobras

    Anyone know just how much power is lost w/ the cobra exhaust? I bought my bike with them already on so I don't have a 'before' frame of reference. However, on my first trip to the track she did run very consistent in both ET and trap speed - but the trap speed was always a click below 112 mph...
