I had my vmax tuned in new castle just north of sydney with similar mods but we onle got to 184hp , would the tempreture absorb that much difference? it was 37.7 deg c on the day i was booked in for...or would the wide rear wheel kit be eating some of my ponies?

Good idea Lupo! I think it needs a small resistor in the circuit. I will know more when I get mine.
If you are a good electrician, ohm the factory one and then ohm the new one. If the new one has less ohms, to solve the issue you can install a small resistor in line of the brake circuit.
I have the Big windscreen and the tank pad.Both are from high quality and the Big windscreen is very very helpfull I can travel with 180 Km/h (europe) without any problem(I am 1,89m)!Now I will buy the OEM tank BAG which available only in europe part num. 907-981Y3-08-00 and I will post my thought here!Se ya!

Good luck sweetie!!!!!!!!!!! Send us photos tomorrow!
Got it. Had to angle it big time like you said Randi. Big angle...tuck the housing deep in the wheel.....slide in a little, and straiten out. This was just a dry run to see if my modified cover will fit/work. Lot's of fun!
Thanks for all the replies Guys and Gals, I appreciate it! Where else could you get help like this at this time of night!?
Ok plan on adding another horse to the stable always fun started out looking at the simple Suzuki DRZ400 SM but wtf are they crazy to ask 1.5k more for a detuned DRZ450 some street tires and lights? Word also is tou have to rev the piss out of the thing.
So continued down the road KTM Aprilia and Husky dealer Aprilia 550 vtwin not so hot long motor life Husky omg ever sit on 1 like a brick and smog parts hangin off all over the motor.
KTM Duke690 or used 640 very nice single pumping out 65hp rear wheel in a 300 lb package they just seem like a blast to ride and flick around like the old dirt bike days.
Option 2 09 Super Dukes aparently made too many of them now offered at 5K off msrp in the same price of the single duke now tou get 400 lbs 120 hp 990 V-twin also light weight compared to monster max
Ok here is the question anyone here have either of these bikes or Supermotard style bike as second? I know KTM is funky styled but so is Mr Max thanks Tyler
I would highly recomend a second ABS sensor and the 5 screws like 25.00 the screws are not suposed to be reused and are very soft metal will strip out quickly rotor can swap and inner hub parts easy swap. all I added extra
I'm installing my Wide wheel. Already did a couple of rear end dry runs (sounds pain-full I know!) got that down pat. But now.....what is the easiest way to get the wheel and tire in the dang swing-arm? Preferably without scratching the heck out of it! Do you need to pick the ass end all the way up and go in from underneath?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
lol I was working on this one today as well. Funny how we all got the same idea at the same time.
Lowes has rubber plugs in various sizes for about $1 each. I started off just plugging the two tubes. But here's my thought... If we are plugging the tubes, why not just remove them? I'm headed back to Lowes to get the size smaller plugs. I'll post pics and results when I'm done.
