I just wanted to post that I am in the process of creating my idea of a VMax as a muscle bike, I am sure that many out there will state that it already is, and you are right I am just putting my refining touches on what is there.
For me a muscle bike needs to have: Power, Sound, and Looks. Two of which I think the Max has already (Power and Looks).
to address sound I have put on a UFO Dragstar Exhaust, K&N filter, and a basic stage 1 dynojet kit. I also had the Max dyno tuned.
with all this according to the print out of the before and after HP it was a gain of +8 rwhp from 110 rwhp to 118 rwhp. to include the loss in weight have made my Max a bit more happy.
it is running a little rich, according to the shop the Dragstar is not a good tuning exhaust, and that is really what I expected I am not a big HP chaser.
but I might get a bit crazy and do a Morleys Muscle kit, as I have heard nothing but good things from people within this forum.
0why the UFO Dragstar? 1. I wanted a "FU!!" loud bike. 2. I dont care about other peoples opinion about the exhaust being tooo loud. 3. I cant imagine my self having a "can" style exhaust on my "muscle" bike (IMOP) but I don't hate on others having one. 4. I want cars to know that I am around dirty looks are welcome!!
this exhaust is so nuts that some people don't know how a motorcycle can sound like this, and the Harley guys don't understand how a "jap bike" can be louder than their hog. the best description I have heard was "That sounds like a FKN Cammed out SMALL BLOCK!!!".
this week I am going to put on drag bars.
next upgrade the Front end (forks, brakes, ect...) if you all have any good models of sport bikes that would be the best fit let me know:bang head: I am not sure if a 600cc R6 or GSXR would work or would I need a 1000cc or better sport bike.
winter - possibly: radials, rear rim 17", rear shocks.
also I am going to make a before and after video of the bike exhaust look and sound, [Stock to UFO Dragstar]
thank you all for making me feel welcome to this community,
If there are any Vmax riders in VA let me know skyline drive is a great ride in the fall.:hippy biker:
