What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[CaptainKyle]

Now how does that bad boy work, what's the business end look like.

It is just a pilot to get me dead center on the screw when I start drilling. It can be done without it but this makes it easier in my opinion

Now how does that bad boy work, what's the business end look like.

The spacer is the aluminum tubing, and the drill bit is what's the part sticking-out.

I've had good luck with a left-handed drill bit into the brass screw, as it starts to bite, the screw backs out.

Working on extracting frozen AF screws today managed 2 out of 2 . I can't say it always works that way though it is usually 50/50

Did you buy a lottery ticket after that?

And, how is it? You just lock it at WOT right?

LOL! I think that’s how it works, lol. It’s raining on and off here or I’d go try that out. I did not read that in the instructions but I’m sure your right! Thanks, Steve

Looks awesome. Was it difficult to put on? Do you have to remove grip or just bar end?

 

[Marauder03]

It literally takes a couple minutes, remove bar end , screw the new 185$ with tax and shipping throttle lock on and adjust the grub screw as they call it. More like a set screw to me. Still raining so haven’t been able to try it out very simple install and the piece definitely feels like a solid piece and built well for what it is. I’m hoping to try it out today.

 

[Marauder03]

So yesterday I was able to try out the new throttle lock and it is definitely nice to have but is still taking me some time to get use to setting it as I ride. I’ve never ridden another Gen 2 and I’m not sure how other throttle response/feel is but mine is super touchy especially since the tune so I’m sure I look like a newbie on my bike when I’m riding and trying to set it, lol. I definitely would recommend it, took no time to install and fit perfectly, pretty happy with this product. If your thinking about getting one I’d do it soon because there seems to be a shortage of them, at least the brand I bought.

I just got the bike home from storage. It was a short ride but nice to be out.

 

[ZRice93]

Stared at it, wishing I could get it to run.

 

[CaptainKyle]

Been working on this 98 in-between working on other people's stuff. I have it looking really nice it is about ready for a new home.

 

[Dansmaxresto]

Looks great!! We’re the black scoops original to the 98’s? I prefer the polished aluminum cause they stand out more.

No they were black and silver someone painted these somewhere down the line

On this end that looks like dripping wet Lacquer!
Damn good work Kyle

No spark on 1&3. Checking the P/U coils today. If that’s not it I’m ordering a CDI box
