upgrade

So I've got the the front forks, axle & calipers from a GSXR 1000, and of corse fitting it to the max is the next upgrage I want to do. But I still need a wheel and rotors to match, Can any one tell me of other models that use the same wheel as a 03 gsxr 1000? Cheers,

An enormous THANK YOU to Sean and Garrett for helping me source the calipers, pads and Arashi rotors for this little gem. -

I am looking for a reasonable upgrade from stock. My rotors are warped and I need head bearings also. What is the most economical way. The bike is basically stock with a modified Morley stage 7 kit. Any ideas?:ummm::ummm:

Hello all. Looks like one of my fork seals on my 1988 vmax is starting to leak. I have a couple of questions regarding my next step.... I'm in NYC, so there's nowhere for me to do it myself, it will be taking her to a shop. Should I upgrade to a newer model VMax set of rebuilt forks and...

Hey guys, I have an '89 and was wondering if it's worthwhile upgrading to newer forks like a '96. Is there any change in them from say '96 into the 2003? I don't want to spend $2K for a custom USD set but if upgrading to a newer stock set is a waste of money I would rather save those...

Hey all, I have been reading as many threads as I can about upgrading the brakes. I have an 04, so the R1 doesn't really appeal to me. Also, I'm not fond of the blue or gold inserts on those. What I'm looking at is the 6 pots off an FZR or YZF bike. I know they're kinda hard to come by, but...

Firstly, hi to everyone. As a new poster to this (or any) vmax forum I'd like to thank you fellas - and gals? - in advance. I bought a 95 Vmax a year ago and I'm starting my journey from stock to rock with R1 front calipers. I've gleaned as much as I can from this forum and other sources, but...

R6 rotors, busa calipers, home made adapters, FJR master cyl, ss lines. I wish I would have done it years ago. It sure is nice to have brakes. I wish I would have noticed that the maser cyl wasn't drilled and taped for a mirror BEFORE I got it all done, and I wish I had noticed that the guy I...

I found these here local and the guy want 175.00 for them. They are slip on 4 into 4 Cobra Exhausts. Any tips are greatly appreciated I like to know first hand if Im buying crap or not....:ummm: http://images.craigslist.org/3na3m73l75V45W35R5b8dd11bc1568a8816d8.jpg I think I found my answer in...

Hello everyone, I've owned by vmax for about a year now, which is about the same time as I've been on this forum. All this time looking for ideas and what other people have done to their bikes to improve them. What I found out is that the max needs major help in the handling department and one...

Hi Chaps, I am considering the above and have read the best stuff in here for guidance but would be keen on any thoughts from anyone who has installed this to advise how they found clutch pull after install to the stock set up eg; if it became much stiffer or remained roughly about the same...

Ok......I need to replace my clutch master cylinder and am wondering what are the best replacement/upgrade master cylinders for my MAX. I need to be able to reuse the lines I have so they need to be "plug and play". Any suggestions....PLEASE HELP. Also I'm sick and tired of the sloppy clutch...

What is the others actual model no need mod or adaptor & direct bolt on upgrade for Rear,front stock rotor and caliper?

Just got busa 6 pot calipers an r1 rotors just put on today. They are feeling a little weak. I ran the stock lines and they feel worse than my stock brakes. I bought some new galfer clutch and front brake lines to put on. Is this my problem or is there air in the line?

A couple of questions..... 1. Does it harm the ignition to leave the key forwards for, say, 10 minutes or more (i'm on a battery tender also. does it hurt that?)? I'm trying to test the durability of the new install (a liitle bit anyways in the garage). Feel what's getting warm/hot and so...

So I'm halfway thru my upgrade and guess what? Yup, the headlight doesn't go back together with the new filament. A 1/4" too long!! Of all the posts I read before buying it there was no mention of ANYTHING about having to custom hack out the back of my housing. Has anyone done this upgrade...

I am going to upgrade my plug wires...has anyone used the Taylor Pro 8mm wires, and how the hell do you get them in the coil? Thanks, Chris

I was looking through the How to Section and I found that the VMax's suffer from the same starter problems that the Ventures do. The mod detailed below has helped a number of Ventures to start better. Attached are some pictures of the modification I made to the starter on my 83 1st gen...

Saw this on Fleabay- I don't believe it's really gonna deliver +30hp but does anyone know if these boost boxes actually work on bikes like ours at all? Mine is bone stock with cobra slip ons...

I want to upgrade my front brakes to 4 piston calipers or even the R1 with the 93> rotors though I've just bought brand new master cylinders. Will the existing 1988 master cylinder be OK to use with the 4 pot calipers, or the R1 calipers or would I have to change the master cylinder too??
