Will be something like this. Though im not huge fan of the head lights or single sided swingarm, even though it should be considered art.

They are, my old man was workin on a friend of the families and told me to take it out for a spin and i went down the road and at about 6k on the tach this butterfly valve in the carbs opens up and the thing takes off, like riding a 600 pound two stroke, it was fun as hell.
So my plans are, find one for like 4-5k ohlins suspension all the way around, the same tail thats on the one in the pictures and a new headlight set up, convert from shaft drive to chain drive and that should be good for now, maybe swap out the stock swing arm and both rims for an R1 swing arm and front and rear rims that we have layin in the shop. Then Dual 6 piston calipers with full floating 320mm wave rotors, front and back? Steel braided brake lines, the whole 9 baby. Try and find some 41mm downdraft style carbs instead of the stock 35mm? Maybe add that magic little bottle that makes everything faster??? :mischiev:
Maybe a paint job?? But that will be the end of my bike buying for a while.

Im not sure but theres A LOT of money in that one. A brand new Vmax is 11,099. The one pictured is a 97, could probably get one of those for around 4-6k?
But hes done a lot of work, 17inch rims, totally custom and B E A UTIFUL swing arm, tail, head light, clip ons, turn signals, front forks, brakes, whatever engine work hes had done, rear sets, dry clutch, nuts bolts etc...
I would guess right around 5-6k in customizing
Heres a picture of a new stock Vmax
