Hey guys, I need to shoot the shotgun on my Max, but I don't have access to an air compressor right now. Can I use compressed canister air (like you buy for cleaning computers) or will the propellant react badly with the carb internals? Thanks in advance.

Sean, you win the boobie prize. I forgot to pull the front gaskets. After doing so, it went together with no problems. Thanks.

Hey guys, I took off my exhaust to have it ceramic coated. (Looks awesome!) Anyway, putting it back on, I can get the front exhaust bolted back in. The exhaust gaskets seem to actually stick out of the recess and I can't push the pipe on enough to start the nuts over the collars. :bang...

I can tell you about my horror story with Furbur. I bought and paid for one of his seats over a year ago. No seat. No refund. No core. And now, no response. John Furbur is a class act. (read: extreme sarcasm)

Hey all, I have a 3" extended swingarm I am putting on my Max. It was under braced and welded locally. I went to assemble it the other day and the axle is binding. Apparently during the welding, the swingarm shrank about 0.35" as compared to the stock swingarm. I took it to a body shop friend...

UPDATE: I have still not recieved my effing seat! I spoke with John nine weeks ago and was told it would be to my house in one week's time. Here it is nine weeks later and no seat. John is not answering my messages, again. Does anyone have a good relationship with John that could speak with...

Sean, what's your fee for this (ballpark) and how backed up are you?

Okay guys, I effed up. Tried this and that to get the stuck screw out. My bro-in-law (kind heart that he is) tells me he can get it out. Flash forward 30 minutes, I now have a drilled out, stripped hole where the head used to be. I looked at it after he sheepishly tells me the screw extractor...

Hi all, started doing the "shotgun" and got to my final carb and the idle mixture screw stuck. It will not turn and I started to bugger the head. It's not totally effed, but with the soft metal I stopped. Has anyone had this trouble before? What to do to solve it? And finally, where can I get...

Ok...how much is the set going for these days for black?

Sean, The only problem would be I want 18" front and rear. Do the hubs swap out to use a Vmax front wheel with R1 hubs for axles and rotors? Thanks

Re: John Fubar When I contacted John about the color issue, he gave me the address of his seat guy and I sent it directly there. But I have no direct contact info for the seat guy. John said he's either ducking his calls or something happened to him. He was sending another guy he knows over to...

Sean, do you sell a set that would mate to a Max rear (1989) to an R1 front (2001)? Thanks in advance.

Re: John Fubar As a follow up...the spelling was a mistake. That's what happens when you try to post on too little sleep. I have purchased from John on the past (an extended drive shaft) and I have been happy with the service/quality. And I'm not really upset with this deal, (especially since...

Re: John Fubar Hey all, thanks for the comments and offerings of assistance. John called me to today. It seems that the guy who does the recovering for him is AWOL. John was apologoetic and assured me he was working as fast as he could to get my seat back to me. As to the spelling of his last...

Re: John Fubar My intention was not to flame John. The seat came back in a timely manner. Someone. Just shipped the wrong. One to me. The quality was great. I just want my seat so I can ride.

Hi all. Here is my tale. I sent my seat to John for recovering. Got it back and it looked great, but the color was wrong. Contacted John and he called me back the next day. After discussing it, I sent the seat directly to his seat guy in Pennsylvania. That was about 6 weeks ago. I have called...

Fred, thanks for the help. I love your work! I was wondering if you could help me with something? I'm tying to fab a triple from billet but I can't measure the lower triple where the stem presses in? Would you supply those dimensions to me? My calipers won't fit in there. Thanks!

Fred, thanks. What type of rubber did you use for your dampers on your wheel?

Hi all...does any have the drive side of the rear wheel drawn out? I need the measurements for the cush drive holes and the interior dimensions for the bearings. Thanks in advance.
