The first gen vmax (1985 - 2007) motor was based on the first gen 1200 venture motor.

 

 

... and the MKII Engine(1300cc) is based on the Knowledge which came from the Vmax Motor. Like the Crank and the Con Rods, Bearings and Casting of the Casing.

the 1300 motor has a little more beef in the casting. it would be the block of choice to build a bigbore v-max motor. some folks have done this. i have seen a 1500 cc max with a holly 4 bbl. based on the 1300 block, also converted to chain drive, another common practice.

Id like to see this. How much can one bore one of these motors? Will the carbs be able to handle it or will you need something else?

1500 cc Big Bore is usually 85 mm Piston Diameter with wet Sleeves.

 

A Buddy of mine built a Motor with 90 mm Pistons, but needed to built "Bridges" for the Water Jackets on the Outside of the Casing because even the Sleeves where outside the casted Parts of the Cylinder.

Well, that Max (called Evil Relikt) is quite a Thing. It's Mark's latest Creation and has been sold beginning last Year. You can surf the Website and see how he made it ... http://www.schusters-bike.de/html/evil_relikt.html

 

The Brakes are coming off a Buell XB12, the Fork is from a Kawa ZX 12, the Rim itself is '85 Vmax, modified to 17 Inch and to take the 425mm Rotors. Rear Wheel is 12.5 Inch with a 360/30 Tire or so ... This Width is not my Cup of Tea, but i love the Look. This is a ridden Bike, not a Show Bike, Mark as well as the new Owner put several thousand Miles a Year on it.

 

While you're staring at the Pics, look out for the Tank ...

 

Mark isn't a Internet Type of Guy, so he has not so much Text in there, but each Button on the left leads to some real impressive Pics of his Work and Art... He's very creative and i truely admire his Style and Imagination as much as his mechnical Skills.

 

The Engine Jobs mentioned above are from another Guy, though.
