A friend just finished building her 2009 VMax that is dedicated to her late Dad.
Her Father, Army Capt. Jack Cook flew a P-51 Mustang in WW II, while escorting bombers over Europe.
It's an amazing tribute to a soldier and father from this country's "Greatest Generation"

Hey I just thought I'd drop by and post some pics, she's pretty much all done the way I 'm satisfied with! I did want to ask if anyone has any experiance with R1 parts on Vmax's- I have an 2008 R1, and I was thinking about doing a front fork swap, and maybe the brakes, wheel, hell the whole...

I purchased 2 used Aluminium "Toxic" Covers about 3 or so inches in diameter. I think one is a Water Pump cover. You will notice a Toxic Symbol Etched into the surface.

Shala recently had her scoops powdercoated "Adams over Gold" to match her wheels that she had powdered last year. "Adams over Gold" is basicly gloss black powder with some very fine flake blended in over the top. Her wheels really POP in the sunlight. Then she wanted her custom V4 three...

I am wondering, who makes custom shafts? I have heard that if they are too strong, you blow up some important pieces. I would be interested in 1.5-2" of increased wb, with a proper shaft, that would break when needed.
Anyone have any leads on this?

Check out this "custom Vmax". I put that in quotes because the only thing Vmax on it is the motor. Really crazy design though.
