I have a Corbin seat, ("Corbin Fiber" leather to match my Carbon Fiber '99
Max).
For me (6'3" 290lbs) it is the perfect seat (especially on long rides.) I
have sat on bikes with the SportMax seat - a big improvement over stock -
but the Corbin gave me more support.

Don't mess with a switch for the v-boost. Either do a pipe and stage 7
or leave it as is. First thing is do the suspension and worry about the
rest later, unless you like riding a bike with 1960's suspension.

Bruce, if more than 2 ounces, try rotating the tire 180* and rebalance.

Dont knock the switch till you try it. Improves low end torque and throttle
response. The only adverse affect I have is a rougher idle which I happen to
like the sound of. Note that my bike currently has a 4-2-1 kerker system
with stage 1. Not sure how the vboost always on mode will work
I will knock it. 129.00 wasted on a do dad. Spend your money wisely.

drive, remove the swing arm bearing support bolts and it'll come right out. My

As for the best bangfix the front end. It is dangerous if you like to
run the twisties. I have met four different people who have crashed on the
Max because of the weak front end.
First purchase the Gold Valve cartridge emulators and get some new springs
(Progressive or Race Tech).
