mods

Two word "scrap metal". I do road constuction, and when we do bridge demo, there is a tremondous amount of scrap metal. I've been taking in loads of bridge beams, rail and such to the local yard (niagara falls). Right now the price for metal is $200.00 a ton. Some of the loads I took in were...

Well guys and galls, after 2 months of spending couple of hours per day, thinking, calculating, simulating, planning, welding, machining and whatever you can imagine, I represent you: the monoshock LOL Its still need some final care but its works! Its almost bolt on besides a welding the...

Well, its time for me to modify the vmax. It takes off pretty good being stock, but i feel like im outgrowing it a little, thats why i was thinking about upgrading bikes. But i was wondering whether or not a full exhaust and a stage 7 jet kit would be just the mod i was looking for to bump up...

How do I drill out the stock baffle and open up the pipes while still keeping some sort of end cap on the pipes? I thought I saw a detailed post a year or two ago, but can't seem to find it. After almost getting hit in traffic, I need to increase the noise level a bit. After all, I do believe...

i've just joined the forum , i have a '89 max , i had an '85 that i bought new in england and a '98 here in california , the v max is the only bike i've bought more than once , so now i'm on my third ! anyway , ive just finished a rebuild on my current bike , it was a 'e bay special ' ran rough...

So I have no idea when this started, or how long its been doing it, but when i shut off my bike tonight (after washing her, related? u tell me?) the taillight stayed lit just the tiniest amount. i attached some pics the first is how lit up it was, the second is a normal running light and 3rd...

MODS - Where do I get this part? I just survived the Easter Long Weekend and NOW I really NEED to do this REALLY USEFUL mod. Can anybody tell me who the supplier is :ummm:

anybody have videos of stock exhaust mods ? :ummm:

well as the title says im looking for more power but dont really have the money for crazy internal parts. im going through the engine soon (blew a head gasket i believe) and would like to know how much nitrous i can safely run on a stock bottom end or if anything can be done to be more reliable...

I'm looking to do a few mods this winter. I'm looking to get a little extra out of my Vmax without my friends noticing. Here are some of my ideas... Dyna 3000 set to #2 Lightening the flywheel Jetting up so I can add plates to my supertrapps K&N filter V-boost to come in at 3000 rpm's Need...

8.5J or 9.5J back wheel with corresponding rubber Less restrictive baffles for std exhaust as I love the lines of the stock system Aftermarket air fliter Braided brake lines Power Commander to junk the speed limiter BS BRM style tailpiece pref in carbon Aux fuel tank over faux...

http://homepage2.nifty.com/kaaz/07_progless/progless.html I think I like those plates by the tank.. slotted ones.. I wonder where I can get them, or is this a part of frame brace? and black front forks are just kick ass. Vitek

I have done the mod of removing the rivets and drilling those holes out to 1/2". That sounds pretty good. Much better than stock. My question is has anyone done both mods together where you drill the 1" hole in the baffle as well. Sound wise, performance wise, how will it effect the bike...

i finally got the max running good,all stock and 4k,mi. im thinking exhaust,jetting,and ?..what exhaust should i get? im thinking a walker,dyno jet stage 1,and ?. whats the deal w/ stage 7?,and ind. filters??? i dont want to get crazy,just want more,and reliability. please give me some real...

Ditched the tail light for some LED's, Dad made me a stainless license plate bracket, and got a tank bag. Wadda ya think?!

Hi to one and all of you :cheers: I'm on the forum for some time now but that's my first thread :punk: I haven't found any specific place in here for intoductions so I'll put few words about me in here :biglaugh: To cut long story short - I'm a Polish guy living in Ireland for few years now...

So do any of you have any mods scheduled over the winter here? I know it's not winter for every one. IE: Australia but you know what I mean! So... Let us know what you have planned...:cheers:

new stuff is piling up for winter mods what I'm planning is: race tech emulators and springs brembo brakes with quality adapters galfer ss lines r1 rotors I plan on using my ZRX masters because I'm switching it over to remote reservoir masters Am I forgetting anything? I'm getting...

I have read about the 2 basic ways to open up the stock mufflers...and it all seems pretty easy and to the point... My question is...which way is really better?... I don't think I like the method of drilling or punching a 1" hole through the middle, that just don't seem right, and I'm thinking...

Is exhaust still the best bang (hp) for the buck? What if you were only going to do 3 mods, what would they be (best bang for the buck)? MNK 1986 VMAX
