I just bought a 2007 Max IV 27hp fully loaded with only 9 hours on the machine 
I am still waiting to have the shipping company deliver it to me.
I've been waiting my whole life to get a new high performance Max IV with all factory options this one includes, and since Max's are no longer in production, I lucked out finding this garage queen on Ebay.
Anyway, some ideas I'm thinking for mods:
- I read somewhere that there is a 2008 upgrade to the frame. Is this related to the transmission?
- One of Whipper's mods that I did for my '95 Max IV was added a nylon sleeve on the U-channel pins on the T-20 to take out some slack. Is this still a mod to do on an '07 Max?
- Anyone have any easy bolt-on engine mods or simple mods like another air filter, high performance exhaust, etc?
- Maybe add a marine switch to cut off battery power when not using the vehicle
- Adding a hinge on the backseat bottom and possibly make a compartment for storage
- Beadlock for tires (is this an add-on for existing rims, or are special rims used?)
- Any other suggestions?
I really like everything about the Max IV's appearance in its stock form, so I don't really want to do any mods that will alter the body like drilling extra holes. Maybe if Whipper ever decides to offer a springer kit for the Max IV again, I'll have to jump on that.
Here's a pic of the Max.
