What area of the bike are you not happy with?:stirthepot:

V Max cams are a drop in fit and will give you another 30* of duration plus a little more valve lift. The V Max carb bodies are identical but have a 1mm larger bore - 35mm as opposed to the Venture's 34mm. That would probably not be noticeable. If you wanted to try them anyway, I think the only real difference in the pack is the choke linkage arrangement, which could be swapped over. What would probably help though, is to open up the airbox for more airflow and then rejet the carbs to match. You could always add the V boost system from the V Max too. That's fairly easy on your bike. I don't know if the V Max rear gear could be made to fit the 1st gens or not.

As Pegscraper mentioned, the V-Max rear drive is a direct bolt on replacement...lower gearing, more acceleration. Also, There is a guy who makes a tubular exhaust collector to replace the stock box collector...better exhaust flow, good for more low end torque.

Here's a picture...stock collector is the top one, Mark's is the bottom one (I have one on my '83). Add some low restriction mufflers (I have Jardines), K&N air filter, and some carb re-jetting, and you will like the results.

I suspect there are a lot of 1st gens out there that are already "sleepers" and have surprised a few bikers. I know mine has.

I was wondering what hi-po is compared to medium-po and lo-po parts are.

 

How would one measure the po of a part?

I have an 87'VR that I've done a few things to (just a few) that runs a pretty consistant mid 11's at the track in it's current configuration, If I was younger and had a bigger sack, I could probubly squeeze another 1/3 of a second off that time. I have Vmax Carb. Jet kits, Vmax Final Drives, Alignment Shims for the final drives, K&N Air Filters, and other performance mods. if any one is interested.:thumbsup2: I am SURE that the NY gang will attest to the fact that the old 87'VR scoots along pretty good!

If you have deep pockets, you could check these out.

If I had the extra cash, I'd go for it! But then I'm guessing that if I put that king of cash into my bike, I still don't think it would bring up its value to equal the cost of those fancy EFI systems.

 

I think if money was no object I would start with swapping out the top end with VMax parts, 2nd. gen transmission, that total engine management EFI system, a Hi-Po clutch, better exhaust, and some solid engine mounts. And what ever else I could think of at the time.

 

But then you know what they say... wish in one hand, sh*t in the other, and see which one fills up first!
