Firt of all to let you all know, I got a killer deal on my max. I had a 99 I bought new and sold last summer because I bought the one pictured in 06, it is a 2000.
When I bought It had 6100 miles on the bike, 3100 on the new 1500 motor, kerker, stage 7, SPA, 3" extended/braced/notched swingarm. $9000.00 in extras, bike stock booked at $6200.00. I bought the bike for not much less than what the extras cost!
Here is a before pic with a Honda hornet headlight. I didnt like this light because it protruded out too far. but from the front it looked good and the windshield worked surprisingly well.
My 250lb ass ran a 10.4 quarter the first time ever at the track with a decent tire but would like to try something grippier. there arent **** for tracks around so i havent gone since. closest is 5 hours.
some answers to some of your questions
I added
- Drag bars
-kuryakyn grips
-engine gaurds with kuryakyn stilletos pegs
-otec gen cover
-otec triple tree
-05 r1- forks
-17"wheels- rear is from BBR/euro company, it is a gsxr conversion, i got on ebay for 350.00 with a brand new tire, rim normally is a $1000.00 at the exchange rate a couple years ago. The front is a YZF Thunderace 1000, this is the only YZF wheel that has the angled spokes to match the rear gsxr. The thunderace was only avail in the US in 97-98. This wheel spaced the rotors too wide for the forks/calipers, so I had my buddy put the wheel on a end mill and shave off the rotor standouts to bring the rotor closer together. Took off about 3/16" each side
-Ohlins shocks, I had all the gold zinc plate redone in black zinc and the resivoirs polished.
-going to install my flatslide carbs that i have posted for sale, since no takers. had these on my old bike.
-new taillight from motorcyclemods.com soon to be installed
im pretty much done with the mods. although considering NOS.
