Great looking bike!

A stock VMax looks awesome and will always stand out among other bikes. My '06 with stock colours used to get as much/more positive feedback at rally's as some heavily modified Max's. The bike is an icon. It could use a few upgrades (some of which you already addressed): a seat upgrade, a few handling/braking tweaks, maybe some exhaust work and a carb kit. These mods won't impair the bike's reliability or spoil its clean lines and are easily reversible to full stock. Don't sell your stock parts if you can help it!

Seeing as there's a ton of folks wanting to make their Max's into full custom jobs, the best way to stand out with other Max's may be to just leave her as is!

[SpecOps13]

Nooo. Some stock parts were kept... The speedometer... The handle switch clusters, the brake levers and masters, the rear rotor, most of engine components and the license plate... :biglaugh::ummm:

And its gonna get even stockier than that. The OEM headlight is coming back on. I dont like the twin lights as they are right now... And like the kids they must share their toys so those two will go to Yeti but its gonna be in a funnier way.... The thing is getting done...

 

[VMAX1260]

wildweasel is this a ventrure motor with vmax heads? nice work on your bike , tell me something abouth the frame?? custom? from another bike?

 

[Thevmaxrider]

Well, I have promised for months to enter the contest, so here it is....

Next mod is the one off, fully custom, direct from Lang Hindle, stepped exhaust. Lang discussed my bike at length with me at the show, have a pic of him with the bike still on the camera, and he said that I am "choking" my bike with the stock tube Hindle header. He is now making me a custom stepped exhaust that he said will be a bolt on 10hp.

 

[VMAX1260]

THEVMAXRIDER can you define me what do you mean when you say stepped exhuast?? i have read it some time in this forum but i cant figure out what does it mean. i may know the defintion in greek if i understand it in english .... love your bike and love your brake disc's

 

[Mod Monkey]

Alright all entrants into this month's contest. Like what I am seeing so far!! Just so everyone here is aware, this month's prize has been donated by fellow forum member CaptainKyle!!!!!! It will be one of Damon's engine assembly videos that he is purchasing!!!!!!!! What a cool prize for all the Mod Monkeys out there!!!!

 

[Thevmaxrider]

He explained it to me and here is what he said in his words: "It will start with the 1.5" header tube from the heads for a length I won't say, then step up to 1.75" header tube for a length I won't say, and finish with a 2.25" outlet."

Apparently the lengths are "Part of the magic" in tuning the exhaust for a high HP engine. He said that the current headers are restricting the engine quite a bit. As it is his header I am running I feel pretty good that he knows his stuffunk:

Thanks for the compliments:eusa_dance:

 

[VMAX1260]

All about flow and gas speed.
The trick is to keep the same parameters and the whole length of the pipes...
Its tricky and cant be calculated.
