You're, you will really run rich with Cobras.
Hey Mark,
Sorry, I'm a dork... Still don't get it... Are the jet sizes you mentioned above your recommendations for a stock set up or the Cobras at my evelvation???? :ummm:
You're, you will really run rich with Cobras.
No worries. The 142.5's will be good at your elevation.
Cobras. For stock I would try 145's.
Ok, here's a set of the Kerker 4-1 on ebay from dennis kirk - just need to get the 2.5" baffle - anything less than $600 would be a good deal
I have the Kerker system - have the 1.5" & 2.5" baffle - the 2.5" sounds good, but very loud and can get annoying on long rides. Now put a Scorpion can on and i think it sounds very good - as far as centerstand - don't miss it at all - never used it anyways.

I have a set I may be parting with soon. Message me if your still looking. ThanksI'm starting to realize that I may have purchased my VMax more for its unique appearance and reputation than its brute force. :rofl_200:
I may change my mind over time, but my infatuation with the look of the Cobras just won't go away. As for the Morley rebuild, my goal in doing so is reliability and rideability, not blowing every bike I come across off the road. I may, again, change my mind in the future, but right now I just want to know that every time I get out on my Max that, 1: It will get me there in style and "on time" , and, 2: That I will not see another bike like it on the way.
Having said that, there seem to be a number of the Cobra systems out there "gathering dust"... If folks are willing to part with them, let me know. I will be "demo-ing" a loaner set soon and may want to aquire one or more sets (if the price is right) to experiment with...
...or, I may just put them on, re-jet appropriately, and enjoy my Max in what ever way I choose to do so.
Speaking of re-jetting, should I be doing so if I ride @ 4000ft. with a stock set up anyway???

I like the looks of the Cobras over the "Can" look. Not sure I would want to lose power though. Would rejeting the carbs not fix that? GP
There is a very long discussion thread about this very subject and one guys stubborn attempts to try and regain his power. I think he managed to get some back but I don't think he got it back to stock levels after a LOT of testing and tuning.
"GPrider:"
Not-only no,
but, Hell NO!
This question gets asked-about the Cobras frequently.
"I like the look of the Cobras, 4 exhausts! Cool! But, why isn't my bike performing as-well as stock? The difference in the loss of power is very-noticeable. Won't re-jetting fix that?" (See reply, above)
Save yourself the money and expense of buying and installing the Cobras. Simply remove one of your spark plug boots and leave it dangling-off, disconnected. The effect on your bike's performance will be similar, and one of life's great tragedies in motorcycling will befall you: VBoost won't, like stock.
