So how was the run? My starter clutch was acting up so couldn't make it. It's getting overhauldEd be Paul at madmax.com this week along with doing my carbs. Can't wait to get it back. But anyway how bout the run. Any photos?
I bought an 89 for $2100 had a kerker 4-2-1 drag bars, aftermarket mirrors and turn sigs with 16000 miles. It ran good but had some stutter at 4500-5500. No gear issues though.
I'm bringing it to Paul at madmax.com to fix up the kinks. But otherwise I love gen 1 vmaxes! Good luck
Yea it was in great condition when I got it. 16454 miles, kerker 4-2-1 exhaust, engine guards, drag bars with riser, aftermarket mirrors, new tires front and back, good breaks and I got it for 2100.
oh it does start it. It failed to start it one day and I had to push her home . Thought I might have a heart attack that day. lol got her home and later that night it started right up. So now I dont drive it far until I get the starting issue fixed.

Hey Guys,
Now that I have the baffle squared away (thanks again donnelly317) im working out the other little kinks on this bad boy. First thing on the list is to make sure the carbs are synced. Does anyone have a carbtune in ct i could meet up with or maybe borrow for some beers? :-)

The second pic is the end cap of the muffler. its just backwards to show the inside grooves. It looks like the baffel slides into it and I wanted to make sure to get the right one.
