What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[CaptainKyle]

Good luck KJ it looks like fun to me I would ride the hell out of it.

 

[dannymax]

Kinda 'plain vanilla' compared to KJ's project :worthy: but I mounted/balanced a Metz ME880 170 on Sallymax.

Maxgasser seat now installed - thanks Rick

Oil Pressure gauge installed - Cycle One Off and the MMRB

This is only the beginning of the mods to be done this winter, so till then, have a look at these pics.

Looking good Mike , what else is on the agenda ? unk:

Thanks Rollie,

Next on the list is;

- Custom aluminum radiator side covers
- Exactrep Chin spoiler
- Rodgers style frame sliders-engine guards
- New Progressive fork springs - lowered 2 inches
- Braced swingarm - black powdercoat swingarm and rear diff

And if $$ and time allow;

- new paint - Blood red color
- custom dash-gauge cluster
- stainless braided coolant hoses
- 09 style air scoops

I`m sure there`s more, but that will keep me busy for now.

Mike the seat looks good on your bike! get me some pics with or w/o a few words and I'll get them up on the website.Is the red a good match? I cant even see it in the pic, very subtle.

Rick, the seat looks great! I will take some better pictures of the bike after I clean up the garage so there no clutter around it.

The red stitching matches up nicely with the rest of the red accents on the bike.

Looks great Mike!! unk:

Even the Brum, Brum, Brum noises sound better on a Maxgasser....ey? :rofl_200:

It is with a certian amount of shame that I'm reporting that I did the 'crimp fix' on Sallymax today! I'll pull the motor but just didn't seem to want to do the fix! :confused2:

At least I can say I didn't succumb to a complete fit of ambition cause I only did one bike....there's still one to go......sometime!! :rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

There's no need to get all uptight and rush into things until you're good and ready! I follow that same thought pattern as well!:biglaugh:

Works good Brian....I broke it on the mounting phase....cheesy welding which I had repaired and beefed up. Now it's fine. The bench-top static balancer works great too. Or, I think it does....the ice from the last storm has me hiding out in the shop....gonna be there till BR11! :biglaugh:

I like 'em Garrett....not used to chrome on your bike but they look great! :biglaugh:
