New Member from Seattle

[JRE-77]

Hello Members,

My name is Jim Emmi and I am from Seattle, WA. I have owned several V-Maxs over the years and I currently have my '97 that I purchased new and have done quite a few modifications over the years. It has been my 'test mule' to say the least. I am going to try to post a couple of pictures that were taken at the 2008 Cycle World Seattle Show.

Thanks,
Jim

Welcome, and sweet bike! I can see the $$ and time that has been spend in it! You will have to get a list of some of the mods and post them. What wheels are those?

Welcome to the collective :biglaugh: My Family was from Wa. I don't remember it much cause I was 2 when we moved up to Alaska. I do remember Redmond cause of yearly visits to my grandmother's place.

Great looking ride, what exhaust is that, and might I say, that is trick looking frame braces you have.

Welcome, Jim.

Nice ride!

Thanks for the kind words! The wheels are Dymags, the engine is 1500cc with Kehin 39mm flatslides, with an Over Racing exhaust (japan) Race Tech front fork components, Ohlins rear (piggyback) shocks, Brembo front brakes,Brake Tech axis rotors, Over Racing frame braces and billet components, rearsets, etc.

Over Racing quit making this system a few years ago, it's similar to a early Hindle in the headpipe design, a German fellow by the name of Kainzinger built a super trick V-max in the late 90s that had a GP exhaust system that was very close in design to this setup. It has a unique exhaust sound that is more like a V8 Ferrari 355 or 360. I will try to record the sound when weather permits!

C'mon, the Hawks are done. Just take her to Quest field and let her rip.

Disclaimer to the HawkHaters.... Don't be dissin my hawks, I already put the money into the runabout rig :biglaugh:

Can't wait to hear it, thats the first exhaust that sings to me.

 

[JRE-77]

I always support the Hawks!!!

I think I still have a Over Racing catalog for the V-max which shows this exhaust and other products. I can scan a picture if you would like?

Here is a close-up of the exhaust system.
