Is there a thread that shows what vboost is and how it works?

Done.. i just ordered a replacement. Talk about bad luck. Thanks for the opinions.

I just put my 18" rear wheel on my vmax with a metzler 180/55-18 marathon radial tire. With only 100 miles on the tire i picked up what looks like a staple. I pierced the tire and leaks. My local dealer told me they won't repair tires and all the manufacturers say never to repair a tire for...

Wheel spins free. It doesn't wander as far as i can tell. When i do the handlebar bounce test the bars still bounce of the end stop but much. I don't think the head bearing is too tight. It just seems weird that i can't ride hands off... not that i want too. haha! I'll see if i can't...

at about 20mph in a straight line if i drop into neutral and i let go of the handlebars the bike leans left pretty hard. is that normal? I just tightened my head bearings about a half a turn after getting the 40mph wobble. Tightening fixed the wobble. My 06 vmax is new to me. I don't...

Stock master cylinder for now with new stainless braided lines. I know I am not gaining any braking power over stock.. i am doing it strictly for cosmetics. I have the blue dot R1 calipers and I was planning on just painting over the blue with black caliper paint.

I know the differences between the two. Organic more progressive, lower heat, less squeel. Sintered more stopping power, less progressive. I am using R1 calipers... can i use organic? Will I have enough stopping power? I like the idea of more of a progressive feel, and less opportunity...

I have my brake/clutch lines on order but I came acrross some reading that said I need to replace the seals in my master cylinder when i change out fluid? Is that right? It is an 06 and I would prefer not to rebuild the cylinders.

Sounds good. I'll go with the 110. I know its the same width as stock but in a radial version I assumed the 110 will not be as wide as the 110 bias.

Going with a metz 880 180/55-18 in the rear. I know for the front 120/70-18 is the radial most choose to use on stock rim. However, michelin makes the pilot in 110/80-18 which is closer to stock height. However, will this tire look too narow? Will it be an ok match with the 880 in the rear?

Thanks for all the great responses. I love the looks of the supertrapps. I know there are better power options but between the looks/sounds and weight savings I am gonna give them a shot. thanks again.

PM sent.

This is my first post on the forum. I just bought an 06 stock vmax. I wanted to do supertrapp slip-ons but i was concerned about the noise. I like a good tone but I don't want it any louder. :confused2: I know.. .I am crazy. My question is will the supertrapp slip-ons be close to stock...
