Looking to buy a 2012 vmax

[Traumahawk]

My agenda.

What is the advantage of the healtech over the one from Dynojet? Any difference?
I have the Dynojet Quickshifter on my K1300S, selfmade rod (got one from the junkyard, left & right handed thread).
I know BMW has the Quickshifter option, but adding is expensive.

The healtech is the first quick shifter that Ive ever used, but I bought it for the following reasons. The dynojet quickshifter is just out there......for the whole world to see. Now, there are people on this forum, that have a push pull sensor mounted underneath.....instead of on the side. To me its a better set up appearance wise, but the people that have done it, didnt remember exactly which sensor that they bought. Also the healtech is cheaper. The dynojet comes in 2 pieces.......the wiring......and the bike specific sensor. About 600 dollars for everything....if I remember correctly. But....there is a lot to be said for running a complete set up, from one company.

The healtech is smaller, and out of the way. I also like the ability to monitor the sensor, and the workings of everything from my phone. It was very easy to install. It interrupts ignition only. It can also be used for downshifts as well, as well as part throttle shifts.

Thanks guys! I'm really looking forward to getting it. I didn't know 2009 through 2020 were the same except for color. Good to know. Are there any racks available for the rear to strap my lunch box to it so I can ride to work every day?

My tail bag is mounted to the rack.

I've got this thing available? Not sure how you'd mount it but it's a cool little guy. Helmet next to it to give scale.

Some sort of understatement VMax ...

Reminds me of my first trip to gas up ... when a young guy on a gixxer (600) showed up, we had a short talk, like nice cruiser etc ... I said, I'm not a big fan of Sport Bikes (either my belly is too big or the handlebar is too far away ). He said: "Why not? Too fast for you?"

Lol, that's funny!!! The unsuspecting prey, I love trolling people with my "cruiser". I rolled through a Dodge dealership this past Sunday, I have the Voodoo slip ons, with cat delete, and the Nash flash so it kinda lopes a little when it idles. And a guy with a nice looking vet was watching me the whole time.............. I was in second gear bouncing the Rev limiter when I left bahahahahaha I'm gonna need a new rear tire before summer gets here. Yeah, those sport bikes are to fast for me, that's why I ride the Vmax. That's just too funny.

I just tell them if I wanted to lay down, I'd go to bed, lol.

My K1300S had also about 180HP rear wheel, but Tankbag, Topcase, Side Cases .... and I was always referring to my 'cruiser', so nobody wanted to ride with a slow bike ... hahaha ... one guy did (Ninja 1000) ... and he tried, he really tried... after that he said: "I THOUGHT IT IS A SLOW CRUISER....."

Another guy, Aprilia whatever, 140HP, he is slim, about 70kg, I have twice that plus the BMW ... his justification was: "Oh, my bike is not running well today" ... an hour ago he was praising his bikes performance ... lol ... dick
