    Possible custom EFI setup in the future

    Its more about reliability than power gains and secondhand carbs seam thin on the ground now days in NZ . I think that the more precise fuelling will compensate for any loss of flow so Im not expecting any loss in power and I have a dirty big sidecar on mine making it overpowered to begin...

    Possible custom EFI setup in the future

    Thanks for that Wildweasel but I don't understand what ever langue that is ! LOL Im converting the carbs to throttle bodys . The design is from http://www.roadstercycle.com/ .

    reserve fuel switch?

    I take it that its not a problem for the oil light to come on sometimes ? I have a sidecar on mine and the oil light comes on if im pushing though the corners ! It is just a level indicator but still a bit disconcerting !

    Possible custom EFI setup in the future

    Has anyone taken this any further ? I don't think that you need multi point injection unless you are after extremely high performance . My Vmax has done 280,000 Miles and the carbs are totally worn out so converting to EFI seams like a good idea because the rest is still a good rely reliable...

    V Max Sidecar outfit

    Nice outfit. Mine is similar (even the same YELLOW) but no black on the chair and no fairing on the bike. From my own experience I would keep the front bike tire as the sidecar tires available are not suitable, They are ok with 45 hp but NOT with 145hp ! Also the wider the front tire the less...

    1990 V Max with Side Car (Gittyup!)

    OK, I am starting to get my head around this (my first forum). The black Vmax has had its front wheel moved forward to reduce the trail, works almost as well as a leading link front end. See this link http://sidestrider.com/leadingfork.html . I know somone who has fitted a car tyre to the back...
