    The Borg Is Back!!

    The Borg is back! Hey all! After laying down my '96 back in late 2012, I took some time doing other things. Although I've been saving for a Gen 2, I happened across a 2002 V-max with 6800 miles for $4000, and I just couldn't resist. It's almost brand new, with only a few minor scratches...

    Avon Cobras: anyone try them out yet?

    I was rather pissed to find that the AM41/42 Venoms were no longer available in the sizes I use. But I see that they have a new matched set in 120/90-18 and 170/80-15. Avon AV71/72 Cobras. https://www.denniskirk.com/avon/front-cobra-av71-120-90h-18-blackwall-tire.p544574.prd/544574.sku...

    Gutting Cobras?

    Anyone ever gut Cobra dual slash cuts? Im bidding on ebay for a set, but am aware of the decrease in HP they impose. Just wondering if I gutted them and rejetted would i gain power as well as making them noiser, which would also be desirable in my case! Any thoughts?

    Modification to Cobras

    I've had a few questions on hole size and location so here's a quick pic. The three smaller holes are 3/8". I'm planning to open them up a bit more later. I started small just in case. The one down inside is a 9/16" hole. I'm thinking of opening this one up as well.

    HP loss with Cobras

    Anyone know just how much power is lost w/ the cobra exhaust? I bought my bike with them already on so I don't have a 'before' frame of reference. However, on my first trip to the track she did run very consistent in both ET and trap speed - but the trap speed was always a click below 112 mph...
