Yes, Mark's I believe is still in business. I purchased through Sean Morley in May 2022.

Exactly, see this so much.

Thanks! Yeah, that is my brother's bike, who is the Sales Manager at GForce on Colfax. I am working on a different Max.

Yes, thanks for your input FM. I have also reached out to Sean. Thought I would try here for data references as well. For additional reference if I was running stock: air-box, filter and exhaust, I would would run a 142.5 main jet here in Colorado.

Yes, Denver/Littleton - 5,351 with rides to 7,200 elevation. Typically no more than that.

Looking for Colorado Carb set ups with Morley's Muscle Jet Kit to get a baseline. I have a Mark's 4-2 exhaust. Thanks!

Tell more about the set up you did for over $3k. I am starting this process now myself. Thanks.

Is the '85 engine a gloss or semi-gloss black? Thanks

What front tire are you running? What is your rear wheel / tire specs? Thanks

I agree! But I cannot find a matching radial set, 110/90-18, 180/55-18

Looking at doing a converted stock/factory (to 18") rear Gen I wheel and running a 180/55-18 radial tire. Looks like I would have to run a different front radial for the front 110/90-18 either from the same tire manufacture or different tire manufactures - ? Looking for suggestions...

Fitting your screen name is 427FE, the Ford engine was not the newest, but it found a home in another classic performance vehicle the 427 Shelby Cobra. The VMax and the 427 Shelby Cobra are two great performance icons. Yes, familiar with the articles you referenced. I'm a 427 FE / FE engine...

My brother purchased this bike for me and we been working on it after sitting for 15 years. It has just under 20K miles, and it's road-worthy now. Still much to do, but we upgraded forks with Race Tech springs and emulators, Ohlins rear shocks, Mark's exhaust 4-2 and had SuperTrapp cans...

Suggestions to replace rotors on an '85? Looking to stay close to stock appearance. Thanks
