  • My new project...

    I did some trading with a forum member this weekend, and I have to say before I go any further, it was a pleasure to meet and deal with member racerone3. Brian made the trec from N Carolina to my place in upstate NY this weekend to trade a Max II to me, (I'll let him tell you what he got in return, if he wants to). It was a pleasure finally meeting one of the forum members.

    So what I have is an 80's vintage Max II. most of the hard work has been done already; frame sandblasted and painted, new bearings, sprockets cleaned up and painted, T-20 freshened up with new bearings, bands and seals. Basically just have to reassemble, and get some tires for it. It should be an easy build. He included an 18 hp Briggs flat twin, what are your guys thoughts on using that motor, I'm leaning towards getting a Vanguard for it instead, just for the smoothness differance. But maybe I'll get it moving with the flat twin for now, change over later....Just what I needed, another project, but you can't have to many, can you?

    Looks good. Brian is a great guy and a blast to ride with. Congrats on your new assembly project. Set aside a Saturday and assemble that thing real quick. They don't take long to put together.
    l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!

      Congrats on the addition to your fleet. It looks like you got a pretty good Max II out of the deal. Brian is a stand up guy, and like Drew said, is a blast to ride with as well.

      The 18 Briggs Flat, should do the Max II well. It has a nice sound to it that cant be replicated and pack a nice amount to torque as well. Im sure that you will be more than happy with it. But on the other note, when Cbass and I return at the end of the year, between the two of us, we should be able to help you out with a 16 or 18 vanguard, and maybe even a 20hp Honda, if you are still looking then. Besides it would be nice if you could make Busco in this October or next April so we all can meet and have fun on the ride.

        Too bad I did not know about the get-together...I was riding a few Attexes right down the road.

        Brian's typical of most on this site....a great guy.
