TOPIC: Pulled the trigger on a 2011 up in frozen MN

Pulled the trigger on a 2011 up in frozen MN 1 year 5 months ago #1

Got the fever, and just pulled the trigger on a new 2011! I guess I'll be polishing/waxing the bike until things thaw up here in MN. This will be the longest winter for me since I bought my Gen1 (1993) new back in the winter many moons ago. Is spring here yet?	MN_MAX OFFLINE Senior Max Posts: 140 Thank you received: 112

Speaking of mods... Top five fav mods of folks? I know everyone has their own list, but it'd be fun to see. I've been reading a lot here for months now... just joined up a few days back. It'd be fun to see what mods people would recommend. Thanks!	MN_MAX OFFLINE Senior Max Posts: 140 Thank you received: 112

1. Nash Flash (Best bang for the buck) 2. Remove CAT, add mid pipe 3. New Cans 4. PCV (not really needed with the flash but can help fine tune your individual setup, plus allows Quick Shifter addition) 5. 240 Wide wheel kit That would be my five in order	jbretthorton NOW ONLINE Platinum Max Posts: 2178 Thank you received: 1015

Welcome and I feel your pain! I'm in Kasson (12 miles West of Rochester) and have an '09 Max sitting in my garage. Max is pissed at me and keeps telling me we should move to Florida for the Winter because he's sick of sitting in the garage with nothing to do!	fastmax1 OFFLINE Expert Max Posts: 557 Thank you received: 27

I was just down in Rochester last weekend visiting the future in-laws. We ate at a Whistle Binkies (sp?). If I'm ever down in that area on my new Max I'll have to look you up! Please do the same if you find yourself up in the twin cities.
