Grind-off the head if you have to but take your time to avoid melting the plastic.
Can you get a small, thin flat blade screw driver under the head? Then pry upward while turning screw to see if the screw releases.So I’m in the last step of getting my air box out and the one screw on the middle of the top of the box will not break free From the apparatus that holds the velocity stacks. It’s spinning the cylinder and I’m not trying to break it, any ideas? View attachment 83442
So do you have a first Gen and 2nd Gen?So I’m in the last step of getting my air box out and the one screw on the middle of the top of the box will not break free From the apparatus that holds the velocity stacks.

I had a very similar set of mirrors on my Katana, the Rizoma Tomoks that are about the same size and shape, and had the same issue. I had to move to be able to see anything behind...kind of felt like it defeated the purpose and went with a set of bar end mirrors, which is also what I have on the VMAX.i got the same , you have to move your shoulders though to get the rear view View attachment 83443
So do you have a first Gen and 2nd Gen? Unfortunately I just have the Gen 2, I really wish I could have kept my Gen 1 as well. How bout you? Do you have both?
you will love the highway pegsOil change and highway pegs installed. Waiting for windscreen and sissy bar. Tail tidy will be installed maybe this weekend
I bought a set of sumitomo 6 piston calipers from Sean. They arrived yesterday morning and Sdt354 and I got them on and bled in short order. We went on a 30 mile shakedown ride and man what a difference from stock. Lever feel and feedback is much improved and the braking power is astounding. I’m confident that on warm sticky blacktop with a proper warm tire I’ll be able to lift the rear. I would not have remotely considered trying that with stock.
this is a lot of performance upgrade for the money
That motivated me to check upgrades for my early model Gen 1. The lever feel was a big improvement. And the stopping power, like VMAXXIMUM said, was impressive. Our shakedown ride is out of the way. Time for some serious seat time now.

Yes the stock master is correct. It’s got to be one of the simplest upgrades ever. I already had stainless steel lines so all that needed to be changed were the calipers. Stock rotors are correct and usable.You still using the original brake cylinder?
Thanks a lot - next on the list... I was considering the R1 calipers.Yes the stock master is correct. It’s got to be one of the simplest upgrades ever. I already had stainless steel lines so all that needed to be changed were the calipers. Stock rotors are correct and usable.
