Re: why are these differant?

I belive one of these is an 86 and the other is an 89. Danny max and I were chatting this mornin and couldnt figure out why. tabs for mounting the chrome carb cover ,right?

Way to go Prez! Just how I imagined it when you guys brought it up. I am sure it will make Sean blush like a little school girl. Well done!

I love it. I have personally never seen them without the tabs for the cover. I wonder if they were cut off? Need to see a picture of the side of the intake. Bet it was removed and ground smooth.

Ill try to get a pic up tomorrow,they didnt appear to be cut and ground but I didnt look really close either.

Re: why are these differant?

any other bikes use those intakes? ventures etc?

Re: why are these differant?

maybe, but the vboast linkage is on this set ,everything looks to be as it should be.

good point bro

Re: why are these differant?

Nope. Vmax only. The Ventures are rubber without the crossover connection point. I bet they are simply removed. not the first time I have seen them cut off.

Hats off to Sean ,:biglaughagain) after closer inspection and some wiping with a rag,Seans indeed correct ,some one ground them off.I dont know why but thats the case,my little mystery is solved,unk: now if I could only figure out why my mable wont start....:ummmamm EFI!

 

[one2dmax]

They did a decent job on it for sure. If you wonder why I haven't bothered with the EFI you now know one of the big reasons.

Well I'll be darned, they did grind them off!

Personally, I would much rather be looking at the nice polished 'H' than the rough casting surface of those manifolds but, the ways of the v max rider are strange sometimes!! :confused2:

Sure hope Mabel starts 'talking' soon Rick!! unk:
