Ok now that I have the front end suspension and braking the way I want it, I can see behind me and I'm happy with my new turn signals it is time for the next phase, making the carbs and engine more user friendly. This will means getting rid of the flatslides and all that came with it that I inherited from the previous owners. Great track stuff but not very practical for everyday use. No filters, 22mpg and I can't take advantaged of many of the great ideas you guys have for the stock stuff.
This will mean bringing it back to stock (carb, manifoldn, Vboost, coils, airbox and throttle) and then adding Sean's Muscle Kit and COPs. Sean agreed to get everything together that I would need when he gets back from his honeymoon. I figured I would give him an excuse to get away incase they had too much together time. LOL. Just kidding, I appreciated him doing that. I think it should be interesting to see the difference with the new setup. The only problem is finding some local who isn't afraid to do it. It is amazing the looks on mechanics faces when I mention the words Vmax and carbs together. CaptionKyle is more than happy to give it a confident go but he is an 8 hour round trip for me. I've even half jokingly offered to fly Sean down to do it. Don't get me wrong the mechanic that I've used for years is great and has done a fantastic job with my other bikes, but his face turns 2 shades of purple everytime I mention what I am planning. He always asks, "what's wrong with your current setup?"
Once I get this done then it is time for the rear end. 440 here I come.
