Instead of all the drilling and tapping, why not just push the whole works out and save the plug?
I used a couple pieces of 1/4 steel, and two Clamps
Set up for pressing.
Pushed the seat flush with the body with the second C Clamp.
Used a small socket as a spacer to push...
Yeah, that has worked in the past but this time is bad. the bowls look awful.
Tank is full of crap too.
I need to sell some bikes, or put better fuel in them, I have a VTX on the waiting list too. It's next.
In a criminal act I let the Vmax sit for too long and now the carbs are all mucked up.
Looks like I need one air screw, slide diaphragms, and gasket kits.
Without spending hours searching, can anyone point me to the go to place for carb parts?
How stupid am I? I forgot there was a reserve? Yep.
For some reason I thought the light was the reserve.
Duh.
I haven't been on the max for a while. A long while actually. I have a few other bikes and the max has been lonely.
R6 rotors, busa calipers, home made adapters, FJR master cyl, ss lines.

Are any year GSXR 6 piston calipers all good? Any year any size, 600, 1000?
Lots of GSXR calipers on Craigs list, and Ebay. Not much for Busa parts on the local Craigs list though.
So, I need
wavy rotors for a 92+ Vmax/R1
Caliper adapters
Any...
Hmm? Well then, I guess I don't get to buy Race Tech.
I have one leaking, I supose I should replace the fluid in both to match. Replace both seals? Or don't fix what ain't broke?
I bought this 1992 used. It has progressive 412s in the back. And someone has been in the forks, because I'm sure the PVC didn't come from the factory...
But,
It's either stock springs with a "longer/shorter" spacer?
Or progressive springs with a longer/shorter spacer.
The spring does look...
Oddly enough I just spoke to Bill Bushling last week He says he IS still in business. And quoted me some prices on superchargers for the Vmax and the Valkyrie.
I stopped by his shop last spring and the place was deserted.
He said he fired everyone and is running the shop alone.
But I am also...
