They are out there. The second bike in the pictures is a project thats for sale. go to the swap and sale section of the forum for the details.

There are kits out there for the Vmax as well.

The second bike pictured is SICK IMO. If I had the means to do it, I would probably try.

+1, I'm suprised it's still not sold. 250 rear end, rims, motor, and other parts for $4k Canadian.

I'd get it if I had the cash.

I emailed the gent and hopefully can go and take a closer look at it sometime next week. May just be getting another project if my wife is agreeable.:whistlin:

I don't think it will be a rider, but more of a show/poser bike when completed. Wouldn't want to take it out on the roads with the raked triples (they can be quite dangerous depending on the change in rake/trail of the bike), but done up right it would look awesome.

I do not like either one. To me a V-Max must be a muscle bike.

 

[gunrunner]

That is so true but imagine the looks you would get , theres nothing like that round here .

Jim, I went out and looked at the bike a few months ago and you can see the quality mods the owner has put into it. I was originally interested in it because the after market front and rear end are worth what he is asking for it. And this bike sits LOW! The pictures don't really show this until you check it out!

$4k is almost what Carl want's for that 250 swingarm, tire, and rim alone.

The parts are well worth the price. I would like to see the bike finished, and I definately would like to hear them pipes roar.

 

[QuarterHorse]

Man if I had the free dough I'd snag it up! I'd be changing those dumb looking long straight pipes though.

 

[COP RUNNER]

ME TO , THE BIKE'S PRETTY COOL , BUT I COULD LIVE WITHOUT THE PIPES !!!!!!!!!

The pipes are long, I think they would look better if they were slash cut about 8-10" after the "Y". Other then that, it looks like he did a great job of building them.

 

[QuarterHorse]

I'd angle/slash cut 'em right after they joined 4 inches of single pipe, and right there, as they're still pointed down.

Honestly, after seeing this bike, and realizing how honestly bad ass it is, I may go this route with my Max after I get a second bike. Solo seat, raked out, slammed lowered, and stretched shaft drive.

I found this site that has a wild picture of a chopper frame - sounds like this guy can make whatever you want as long as you have alot of $$$

Would be interesteing to see if he can make an aluminum frame (stock style) that is more rigid than original!

This is my version of a tough cruiser... Was a p.o.p. to do. 7deg rake in front, new bars, seat. Bit of black and vola... Selling to do another one. Just bought a 2005 Vmax.. Will do a rigid rear this time with springer seat... Can't wait.:eusa_dance:
