Gonna make a 2001 Carbon Max look like the conceptual illustrations from GK Design w/ Tri-spokes & Venture slider covers, Exactrep stuff doesn't do it fer me. An Alligator Saddle from Mike in Ohio though is very true to Max heritage, all on an Albino color pallet. An Edger Winters Frankenstein edition. 😆 Why?
Perhaps because the seller of the bike I wanted in Ponchatula claimed this Bike was not for a noob. So I went down to Harmony Wharf and bought a piece of crap with what looked like parafin in every rotor hole and a fuel filter that had 3.5 grams of rust in it. Tulane grad traded it in to a scooter shop.

Brother Equanish; it's looking good. Any pics of the concept bike?
If you can ask the right questions to get this project done. I give you all the extra parts not tossed in 5 years and there is a truck load.

Looks like a Yamaha XS11 Midnight Edition, with red instead of gold. Pretty-clean.

I hope you don't do > 30 mph with that pudding-bowl.

30 mph? Max is at 5 Star for starter clutch and main clutch over haul. Prolly stick the Venture Pumpkin Swingarm setup in next week. Unless someone can prove it won't help on hwy/mpg. Purchased a Venture Carbs for waay less than Max carbs in order to rejet they look identical but they are probably different somewhere. Can't see where yet.

We also have Drag Bar handle bars any input on that would be appreciated. If the seat is lower by 2 why not the bars.
