Yammer Dan Posted January 26, 2011 #1 Posted January 26, 2011 Just thinking. I have a few parts and just want to kind of get a list in my head of what should go where. What would you want?? What I have is: 1. I have a 83 with a new frame. Has good 2nd gear but I think that is on the top of the list. Go ahead and install 86 tranny I have. FJR or V-Max rear. I have a air cleaner set-up with 4 seperate air cleaners to get rid of air box. Maybe help with room for Boost system?? 83 cams 7 Heads v/s V-Max cams & heads?? Garage to do this in!! (I am getting there!!) What would you want for dream 1st Gen?? I already have fastest Venture around:whistling: Got nothing else to do at 3AM.
MikeZ06Allen Posted January 26, 2011 #3 Posted January 26, 2011 How about a 2nd gen??? What? And go slower?
elmicko Posted January 26, 2011 #4 Posted January 26, 2011 Not really for performance, but I'm thinking an IPOD interface would be a very good thing. I did a little different MP3 player mod on my 1st Gen and really enjoyed it.
BoomerCPO Posted January 26, 2011 #6 Posted January 26, 2011 A bigger rubber band equals greater speed..... Boomer.....
mini-muffin Posted January 26, 2011 #7 Posted January 26, 2011 You wanna go fast, buy an FJR or a Busa Hey now Muffin beat a busa on his way home from MD the year you all gave him the SS bike. Of course you gotta have the balls for the Busa too. Margaret
Yammer Dan Posted January 26, 2011 Author #8 Posted January 26, 2011 You wanna go fast, buy an FJR or a Busa Just faster than the 2nd Gens and the Hardleys..... but that is kind of slow.
Squidley Posted January 26, 2011 #9 Posted January 26, 2011 Just faster than the 2nd Gens and the Hardleys..... but that is kind of slow. Dan...I'm at an age where if I wanted to go fast I would have a bike for that. I do so much love busting your chops though
Venturous Randy Posted January 26, 2011 #10 Posted January 26, 2011 You asked some good questions Yammer, even though you are not getting any serious answers. I had also thought about V-Max heads/cams, but with the changes I am hoping to get done with the 2nd gen transmission, I am afraid it would hurt the bottom end torque some with the taller 4th and 5th gears, even with the V-Max rear end I am planning on using. With my setup, 1st gear will be a little lower than stock and the V-Max heads/cams would be nice, but I am afraid it would hurt on the other end. RandyA
Skid Posted January 26, 2011 #12 Posted January 26, 2011 its not about how fast you get there, but to get there in Style!
Yammer Dan Posted January 26, 2011 Author #13 Posted January 26, 2011 its not about how fast you get there, but to get there in Style! 1st Gen still wins in Style!!! As of now almost 30 yrs ahead of its time. Nothing has beat its looks yet!! I will admit. 2nd Gens are a good looking bike but don't come close to 1st Gens!!
Yammer Dan Posted January 26, 2011 Author #14 Posted January 26, 2011 Warden reading over my shoulder. "Why do you need "Go Faster" things?? I thought you didn't do that any more!! OUCH!!
dingy Posted January 26, 2011 #15 Posted January 26, 2011 Ok Pops, Do you want to go faster? Or go quicker? They are not the same. I like quicker, more acceleration. Some things you can do to the scoot will help one and hurt the other. Doing 130mph isn't as fun as it used to be. Gary
Skid Posted January 27, 2011 #16 Posted January 27, 2011 Warden reading over my shoulder. "Why do you need "Go Faster" things?? I thought you didn't do that any more!! OUCH!! I'm telling you, its all about arriving in Style now...
BradT Posted January 27, 2011 #17 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm telling you, its all about arriving in Style now... And comfort. Dan maybe you should concentrate on getting them running first. Brad
Yammer Dan Posted January 27, 2011 Author #18 Posted January 27, 2011 And comfort. Dan maybe you should concentrate on getting them running first. Brad Only one that won't run....

friesman Posted January 27, 2011 #20 Posted January 27, 2011 Then why do they put all those numbers on the Speedo's??? Too much info Yammer:whistling:.........we dont even want to know that you have Speedo's :rotfl: Brian
Condor Posted January 27, 2011 #21 Posted January 27, 2011 I wouldn't mess around. Install NOX and be done with it.....
Thom Posted January 27, 2011 #22 Posted January 27, 2011 I think it's fun to do 9000 r's in 3rd gear and it's more fun with a 2nd gen on your tail ! But have you ever tried to lean into a sweep at 9k , its kinda spooky !
Thom Posted January 27, 2011 #23 Posted January 27, 2011 Too much info Yammer:whistling:.........we dont even want to know that you have Speedo's :rotfl: Brian Thanks ! now I gotta go poke my minds eye out
Aimhigh Posted January 27, 2011 #24 Posted January 27, 2011 1. Remove gas cap. 2. Drive a second gen under the removed gas cap. 3. Replace gas cap. Just kidding...from what I know reading this site and talking to some of the first gen riders, it is a great bike...just felt obligated to add a little levity.
Yammer Dan Posted January 27, 2011 Author #25 Posted January 27, 2011 OK. A question. The new Glassmat batteries. You can run them on their side?? Maybe standing on their end?? Could gain a couple inches in there if you could turn it over. Maybe even move it to new location??
