    Turbo my Max ? And update on Shinko tires.

    So I have all these extra turbo parts that came with my Busa..... got me thinking of putting a turbo on my Max. I would just be concerned at how much power a stock motor could take. Could you see 175-200 hp without breaking the trans, bending rods or snapping parts? I think nitrous is a...

    Who do you trust to install and balance tires on new Powdercoated wheels?

    I've had a lot of bad experiences with people damaging the finish on wheels when installing new tires. So who do you trust to do this without damaging the finish on a wheel?:ummm:

    Best wet weather tires.. on stock.

    Alright. I *might* have a little bit of money left over. Not nearly as much as I wanted, I was planning on getting the rear foot shifters from Morely, or his jet kit. Sadly, money flys when you actually have it and now there is only a little bit left. One thing that I do think is function...

    Beads in your tires.....

    How many of you use beads instead of wheel weights. I am going to use airsoft bb's in mine. Not paying the big dollars for the "specific" beads. Guys around me use them in off road big 4x4 trucks all the time. 10 second diesels etc. So I just wondered on the bike, how many grams or...

    Please check your tires

    I had a guy come buy today on a Triumph Rocket that said his bike did not feel quite right. It only took about 2 seconds to figure out the problem. I dont want to see any one crashing from simply not checking there tires. This is the tire I took off the rocket today.

    Can I get your opinion on tires

    are the shinko's as good as the Exedras from what I can find there is $40 difference on a set shinko-230 series versus the bridgestone Exedra G525 AND G526 combo:confused2:

    New Tires

    I know they are new, but has anyone mounted these new Michelin Commander II tires. They look like the best competition for Metzeler 880s. I like how hard the Metzelers are but they just don't get great traction (back tire). I can roast them in third. The michelins look good too and have the 170...

    Wow, the Vmax sure eats tires. Cost of doing business with the sport bikes...

    I was giving Mr. Max the once over before my ride into work this morning, and I notice just how much I've work that OEM Dunlop K525 in the 1500 miles I've put on the bike since buying it this winter. When I bought it, I had a decent amount of depth to that center groove. At this point, it just...
