Hello Guys,
20 tanks and 2000 miles on the new set-up.
According to my camera clock the Madmax 300 mod started on my bike 10/13, and I finally test rode on 11/13. My rating scale on a 1 to 10, 10 being best. The assembly is posted as a complete bolt-on I give an 8, as there were sub assembly mods I had to have done. Those lead me to my customer service experience with Paul Civitello and his wife Teresa. My rating there is 10 and higher if I could. I had sought to have my ride height lower than the kit was set-up for and Paul remachined my shock mounts per a sketch I had scribbled out the 15 degree's I needed and corrected some machine work on the custom axle. Paul is a CNC Houdini for the set-up and quick turn around time for my mods to the set-up to get it just the way I envisioned this looking and performing. By the way, as I was prepping for the switch over I knew my U-joint was on its way out and mentioned it to Paul, three days later I had it back from his shop in Connecticut, we were both surprised as it was shipped U.S.P.S. I have spoken with Ed about his gears locking up at 70mph. and seen the frankinwelds posted of the gears of that set-up, I also spoke to Ed about some slop I felt. Now since the gear posting Paul has redesigned the set-up to gear and not a mixer sprocket type that I heard of. Now the slop I spoke of, I had a leak in the Venture rearend I run and had to a dealership here change out the seal because of a specialty tool I don't have and figured I would have them check the gears setting for play. It required shimming! and now is as tight as a...well you know. Now my machine is flawless, smooth and was always quiet, I have grabbed the transfercase after running hard and its barely warm. Paul also did a real rebuild on my carbs, now I run all stock jetting and the air box at 5280 Ft. this machine SCREAMS! and starts and idles like its injected! Sounds so good I cant believe I ever ran the bull#$%@ I had done at first. My pics I think speak for themselves on my 85 basket case in 2011 to what it is now. Thanks for taking time to read this. Thank you Paul Civitello.
