Ok, so it has been a while since I was riding this bike. Probably close to 8 years since it ran? Basically it was just parked when the carbs went south from sitting for too long. The original thread where I got this thing going pretty good, and did a lot of work to it, is here...

I am wondering, who makes custom shafts? I have heard that if they are too strong, you blow up some important pieces. I would be interested in 1.5-2" of increased wb, with a proper shaft, that would break when needed. Anyone have any leads on this?

I have a set of Stage 7 carbs here. I would like to rebuild them for racing purposes. Which typical rebuild parts will I need, and what will I need for a proper selection of jets? Thanks in advance!!

http://www.dragbike.com/dbnews/templates/fast1320_z13.aspx?articleid=18175&zoneid=13 I never did business with the guy, but I know that he was well-known in the V-Max community. Rest in peace. I didn't see this posted anywhere else here, so I thought I would.

Does anyone remember (or have a scan of) this Kerker magazine ad from the 80's? I think it came out after the "Into the 9's" article. I keep looking around on Ebay for it, but no luck yet...

This is probably a super-duper-longshot. I figured someone here might be pretty familiar with title searches on vehicles, so I thought I would ask. I wonder if it would somehow be possible to find out the VIN # of the first V-Max that my father bought in 1985? I don't have the VIN, but of...

Need to paint all body panels, and scoops. Scoops and side panels metallic silver (scoops and airbox cover are made of carbon fiber), and a factory Yamaha color for the rest. Any ideas on what I should expect to pay?? Looking for nice, not multi-award-winning show quality masterpiece. Oem...

Found on Ebay. 'Cub, for short.

Has anyone used one of these tires at the dragstrip? I wonder how they stack up, grip-wise to the oem tires?? I have a gut feeling that they grip like hard plastic, based on the long tread life. If someone has used one at the track, tell me what kind of 60' times you have turned on them. I...

I am probably changing wheels within the next 6 months. Right now I am strongly leaning towards a 17" setup, primarily because of tire selection. Since I plan to drag race the bike a bit, I want a very sticky tire. On my other bikes I use Michelin Power Ones...but I don't think there is anything...

For those who missed it, I had posted this introduction in the new members area. I decided to start a thread to detail my experiences with restoring, riding, and/or racing the bike. Well, I just joined the site and figured it was a good time for an introduction. My name is Shane and I am...

Hindle lists two different headers. One is a "race" header, the other is not. Both seem to be 4/1 designs. One allows for the high pipe, one does not. My question is, does anyone know the differences in header design? Any pics? I did do a forum search, but did not find the information. Any...
