are you installing the filter backward? the filter was designed to fit into the airbox opening after removing the funnel (in other words, you can't properly run our filter with the funnel installed).

the filter was designed to be "self supporting" - the clamp is there in case of a back fire to keep the filter from blowing out. we've been running this setup for almost a year and never have had the filter loosen up.

thanks! i just installed the 240 wheel kit so i need to update the photos.

if you still need some for you 2009 i have a couple.

here are a couple shots of my bike with the windscreen and bags (plus a few other upgrades):

i believe that is the one that rubs the tire (someone on another forum said he had one and it bent the plate when he hit a bump).

i believe that was the point of the video - to show the "x-pipe" (cat. remover).

i just bought another vmax yesterday and put about 100 miles on it. when i got back to the shop i decide to take a quick spin on the b-king and i have to say that back to back (or side by side) these are two totally different bikes. yes, they are the "top dogs" from yamaha & suzuki but other...

we built the y2k bike for a customer - the paint work was amazing (had over 25,000 hand painted rivets). here is a close-up of the "nose art":

hard to see in the side photos but i made a relocator based on one of our ducati kits. here is a better shot:

here's another shot from the other side: if you look close you will see some of the 60+ parts we polished and powdercoated, as well as the upgraded brakes, plate relocator, turn signal mods, etc.

i'm still finishing the rear of the b-king - i'm trying for a "bobber" type look. it will still be another couple weeks before i'm finished.

not sure where you get the 30 more ft-lbs of torque? based on the article, the vmax peaks out at 109.7 where the b-king peaks at 97.9 (difference of 11.8). but the weight difference of 122 pounds is signifigant in any test. regards, ken zeller

oh, and to show i'm not just blowing smoke, here are shots of some of my bikes: custom vmax custom b-king (still finishing it up) the true torque monster (152 ft-lbs @ the wheel) and the bike that is fatser than all of the above regards, ken zeller

i guess since i recently bought both a 2009 vmax & a b-king, i am qualified to talk about both. your comment that you have never ridden either but "that there is no way in hell that at highway speed the bking(sp) will even come close" is a little misguided. both bikes are very strong but the...
