Best Vmax mod I ever did was jacking up the Gen 1 radiator cap and riding a Gen 2 under it and reinstalling. :biglaugh:

I've never seen a driver's backrest for a Gen 2, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I'll be rolling in to the motel late in the day on the 28th, and checking out Sept 5th early am. We have 4 guys in our group at the moment. :biglaugh:

This will be a great time!! I'll be rolling in around Aug 27-28, and staying until Labor day Monday. These are some of the best roads you guys will ever see, and if Kyle does the smoker thing, some of the best BBQ you will ever taste :eusa_dance: I'm looking forward to it, and may have room...

These bikes get RICHER not leaner when you open up the exhaust. Check for leaks at the joints.

I may be able to help you out- I have I believe 2 left side rails for Gen 2 backrest that I bought on Ebay for just this occasion- I will check them out tomorrow to make sure. Maybe I can trade a left side for a right?

I have a set the PO used on a Gen 2, but have yet to use them, so no help here. Mine do have a neoprene inside coating where if they touch the rear fender they wont tear up the paint, at least I hope.

Just to clarify, when you are talking about the idle"screw" you are referring to the thumbwheel underneath the carbs, correct? More than one owner has mistaken the synch screw on the left for the idle adjustment....

Another thing to keep in mind, and the reason I am not going to lower mine, is when you lower it 2" or so, you start dragging expensive hard parts like the oil pan in the twistys. I found that out AFTER I bought the lowering link, so I plan to have Rich cut down my seat instead.

I also have a UFO 2" lowering link I'm not going to use- And Rich (Maxgasser) is offering a cut down seat for Gen 2's now as an option. I think Sean Morely is also doing a custom cut down version of the seat.

If you are asking how much support the factory low backrest has, it's pretty much none, just a bump stop- I put one of those extenders from Ebay on mine, now the wife can lean back and feel safe lol.

Oh yeah, it'll blur things in a big hurry, I call it 0-handcuffs in 5 seconds flat :biglaugh:

Yep :biglaugh:! Wait till its broken in, then get it up to about 3K in 1st, and peg the throttle- It'll feel like the clutch slipping, but its just the 200 tire lighting up, and if you bang 2nd at redline, it'll do the same thing all the way through 2nd gear. It's fun, but tough on tires :rofl_200:

Correct that's the one I have, but black

The picture doesn't show up, but if that's a OEM backrest, then yes my luggage rack is compatible, but its black, not silver.

BTW- I dont know if you plan on putting a factory backrest on that, but if you do, I have a spare black OEM luggage rack in the package never used I'd let go cheap.

Ahh, should be good to go then :biglaugh:

When the light starts blinkin, you better be lookin hard for fuel...best ive ever gotten was 34-35 on the highway at 75-80mph. Around town, and going to work, I average right at 30 and my bike just hit 10k last weekend.

They might, but I believe the bar ends on the new max use an insert that stays in the bar when you remove the ends? Someone else can confirm this, as I have never removed mine, but I know its been an issue with replacement bar end mirrors...

Todd I have a good set of Blue dot R1 calipers if you can use them?
